It generally has horrible leadership. I don't have any dislike for the work itself. My best work experiences have been working under middle-aged women. My theory on this is: middle-aged women have been around long enough that they recognize honest people who work hard. They recognize the...

You have a math degree. Use it.

I've been in this godforsaken career for 15 years. Do you really believe that I haven't considered this? I got two contracts at Dell through two different temp agencies. I was abandoned by both agencies after the contracts reached their term. Both ended because of Dell's limit of 1,450 hours...

Yes, it is. It has for a long time. I realize that some people think that desiring a relationship is a horrible thing. But there also seems to be a consensus that we need love in our lives. And you certainly can't look for this anywhere else. Opportunities for meeting quality women are very...

Actually I can't think of very many good times. Are you serious???????? Job hunting is--without a doubt--the most depressing activity a person can do. And I don't see how or why any job would be better than this one. I certainly have better things to do than go through a bunch of failed job...

Actually I already knew about Wendi Friesen and like her a lot. I can think of many, many times in my life in which I had high expectations for something; and those expectations did not come true. In many cases, there were unexpected surprises. Life is full of surprises, and most of them are...

You are exactly right. I remember the exact minute. It was 8 September 1999 at 3:24 pm Eastern Time. I was happy and excited. I had a great life. Then I just decided right at that moment and said to myself: "I will no longer have any hope." I made a conscious decision then and there. It all goes...

Let's see. I'm writing and publishing a novel. I take martial arts and acting classes. I have a job. I work out three times a week. Just, where am I going to find the time to do this? And how is volunteering going to offer me these opportunities?

I don't take it as an insult at all. I have felt that way most of my life. Work really is no different from school in that regard. It reminds me a lot of having go over times tables over and over even though I had learned them years before everyone else. I can't at this point. And I need about...

I have generally found that this kind of "experience" doesn't count. It's better than none, of course. And as I said earlier, my experience with an MCSE tells me that certifications are worthless. When I was pursuing my MCSE, I committed to reading for an hour a day for about two years. I made...

I have brought up tasks that I think I could do. There are other groups who seem to have more work than they can handle. In spite of this, my team basically has to fight to get work. When I ask other people about helping them out, I usually get the same song and dance that I always hear in this...

You got it. I actually think they would listen and care enough to consider my feelings in all this. I'm not sure what they could do though. I keep hearing all the propaganda about how there is a "shortage of talent" in IT. And there are plenty of people who good jobs in IT who aren't that...

No, I have changed jobs. The longest on a job was about three and half years. I have applied for many jobs. I have applied for jobs which may have been over my head. I have applied for jobs which I thought I could do, even though I didn't have the experience. I have no confidence that...

I have went after dozens of jobs. I have had probably hundreds of failed job interviews. Applying for a job does not mean that I will get one. Asking for a job does not mean that I will get it. That applies to a new career as well as a job. A new career also likely means moving down in money...

I have no hope. I have been in this career for 15 years. I am still swapping tapes and doing intern-level work. I make a salary about the mid $40,000 range. I have a 135 IQ. I scored a 790 on the SAT in math. I had a lot of hope for this career. I have none now and don't believe that I will...
