It's amazing the lists that are out there these days. People with no talents to speak of are out there creating lists about classics that should no longer be classics and rappers who cant rap and overrated singers. Granted, there are awful movies and terrible singers out there but different strokes for different folks. I think Jennifer Lopez can neither sing nor act and her butt is NOT all that..... However, she makes millions while I pull in $770 a month so who am I to judge right? Even if one is going to make a list why not start with a disclaimer stating that this is YOUR opinion and not make it a definitive list of what is crap and what isn't. Am I right? Does anyone not agree with me?

My Current Dilemma

I NEED A JOB! That is my one and only dilemma right now. I want a lab/research job but all the experience I have is teaching. However, I HATE teaching. I'm told I am good at it, but that is only if I have receptive minds to work with. The apathy I will be forced to encounter especially from these American kids who have NO home training and even worse academic one is.......well lets not dwell on it.

So anyway I am caught in that famous of all Catch-22's to get a job I need experience. But to get experience I need a job! How, I am yet to comprehend, am I supposed to get a Bachelor's, a Master's, and FIVE years experience and STILL be a "young candidate"? How does that work?

I have been revamping my resume and TRYING (really hard) to write an impressive cover letter but to no avail.

HELP!!

Blogs; A waste of time?

Why do I even bother with this blog? Does anyone truly care?

Investments

So I've joined this MSN CAPS thing on ...MSN duh!! Its supposed to be this support system for small time investors......or wannabe investors like me.

I am currently suffering from some serious nightly shakes over my finance. Currently I'm using about 60 % of my line of credit (in a fit of boredom, I calculated it a couple days ago) which is soooo not good! I'm trying to figure out how to pay it down, but I was just recently dumb enough to spend a huge amount on two of my cards. Sure I can pay it off, but I could have used that money to reduce my 60 % used line of credit. I'm pathetic........
