Most of you have not been wiped out and deprived of employment by
economic changes, either.

Let's see...

Company #2 - no longer exists
Company #3 - went bankrupt
Company #4 - very little exists and they changed the business
and most of us were forced to leave
Company #5 - what a laugh (Digital Equipment)
Company #6 - hid in grad school for 3 years because there were no
jobs
Company #7 - Contract only lasted 18 months
Company #8 - local office pretty much shut down, I was offered
St. Louis, but I decided I'd rather be unemployed in
Colorado than in St. Louis.
Company #9 - State of Colorado job - major cutbacks, and I was a newbie
Company #10 - their contract ended, they didn't get renewed, we're
all looking for new work
Company #11 - soon, I hope. I'm actively looking.

Yes, I've been deprived of employment far too many times...I don't
even worry about it anymore.

If you have to "want it badly enough," that implies that something
else must be sacrificed. If it's not money (because you say that you
don't need five figures to do it), then what are you giving up to get
a license at a reasonable cost and in a reasonable time?

Oh, I swore I wasn't going to reply (so, Dudley, what do you win this
time?)

I had to give up on you. You're making too much sense :-))

If I was economically deprived (and that's an excuse used by people who
expect someone to take care of them), I'd do something about it instead of
sitting around trolling on the internet and playing aviation sims.


There are unlimited options to be a success if you'll try:

Move somewhere conditions are better.

Get training in a different field than the one that isn't working as well as
you'd hoped.

Figure out a way to do something better, faster, or cheaper and be an
entrepreneur.

Working harder is always an option. Regardless of the economy, people still
need the necessities of life. Find a job that helps provide those things.

Then take a second job.

Then take a third job.

Have you considered mturk.com? They pay for tasks that take just a few
moments to carry out online from your computer; you can do as much or as
little work there as you like.

Never heard of it, but I'll look it up.

You're a real F**kin' loser. Ain't you?

Yes.

I hope someone else has paid to get you neutered, also.

I don't plan to reproduce.

Maybe you need to look for male flight attendants as a 'leg-up' on your
aspiring aviation career?

I don't see the connection, and in any case I'm not an aspiring
aviator.

Having a unique skill, activity, or experiences to share is very helpful
in getting to know the opposite sex. It's something to talk about and
participate other than seeing a movie or walking around a mall.

Maybe, but what does that have to do with flying?

In other words, you're a more interesting person.

So?

She doesn't need to be female either. You could be a male flight attendants
"bitch boy"

Flight attendants are very different from pilots, even though they
work in the same industry.

I know zero about France. But I find it a little surprising that someone
facile with computers and English would have no employment opportunities
anywhere in the EU.

The first statement explains the second.

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

With all the hype that JKR stirred up earlier this year that one of
the major characters will die, I'm betting it's Hermione.


I am going with Ron, clearing the way for Harry and Hermione.
