Not having an income or collecting unearned assistance in my opinion is worse than any shit-shoveling, abusive boss having, demoralizing job. [/quote]

OBAMAO MONEY FTW!!![/quote]

Willingess to accept temporary assistance out of WANT and not NEED leads to a permanent state of never achieving. Thats it for me, ill save the rest for those wacky liberals in the PAL forum. [/quote]

I understand that, but what’s wrong with “not having an income”? If you’re living off your own savings, I don’t really see a problem with it.

There’s a couple times I’ve had to do that, while looking for the next job, and I actually found it pretty enjoyable. Had a pretty good quality of life.[/quote]

Nothing wrong with that at all, at some point you did earn the money and were smart enough to save it for when you needed. That’s a job well done.

It was the bolded part I was confused by.

Morally? Nothing. Again, in my opinion, not having an income is worse than a crappy job that provides one. If you have assets that create income that is a different story. I would never want to be in a situation where i have a finite amount of money what I need to spend to live with no additional comming in.

That is out of context. It wasnt NOT HAVING AN INCOME, it was ‘not having an income in my opinion is worse than a shitty job that provides one’.

One of my first post undergrad jobs was in commercial building management and I had several porters working for me. Every single one of them loved there job. They did what you just described on a daily basis and loved it, don’t ask me why. One of them had been there for 13 years and probably still works there to this day. He made decent money for his skill set and has left alone so he liked it.

I think talking about jobs you hate is one-sided without taking into account the part of your life it took place in. The cemetery grounds keeper job I mentioned was from when I was 14 years old and I made minimum wage. I guess no matter how bad that job sucked I knew it was temporary and I would get an education and move up in life. That’s the point of my porter story, someones sh*t-job is someone else s best-job.

I’m still not following though…

I’d rather not have an income (but still be supporting myself from savings) than working a shitty job that provides one.

I’m wondering why you’d prefer otherwise?

I did that, I loved it though.

in recent memory the only job I really didn’t like, and it was more due to me sucking at it, was working as a win back rep for Comcast. the salary and commission was sweet but people do not like opening doors for big scary men.

I do customer service sales, I enjoy it, nothing glamorous, I do well for myself, I always find it funny when people try to talk down to me because Iwork retail. generally I make more than them, and I just laugh internally all the way to the bank.

valet attendant at a hospital. You really get an idea how disgusting a lot of people are by how their cars look inside. They pretty much use their cars as garbage cans and ashtrays. [/quote]

I also did this and it was hit and miss. I enjoyed running all day though.

My worst job was a dish washer at a busy restaurant. Too many fucking dishes and long hours. I was promoted to bus boy after a month and that was much better. I got tips for dayzzz

I had a friend that worked in tech support and he had the same complaints. I heard that elderly people tend to be the worst.

Thanks for the compliment.

I almost came to blows with one of the assistant managers for talking to me like I was some scum of the earth for no reason and accusing me of doing something I didn’t do. But on the flip side in 2 months I ended up the sporting goods manager and then 2 months later I was in the UPC office. Only thing that made it cool were a lot of the other folks I worked with. Some very cool down to earth people. [/quote]

I have heard horror stories about working at Walmart. I actually hate Walmart and try to avoid shopping.

I’m with you on that LoRez! I obviously can’t speak for Waittz but I think he is referring to people that are leeching-off the system. I don’t think he is referring to people that live off of their own passive income but I could be wrong.
