I have a Masters degree in Information Systems, a BS degree in Management, and years of experience. My verbal comprehension and communication IQ tested around 140 (near top 1%). The only work I shouldn't be able to do now is manual labor with heavy lifting (lost a part-time janitor spot due to the condition), which begs why I would fit into that with my background. I should be suitable to do mental work where I can work on my back. The irony is that my effectiveness now to find employment is on par with when I was looking much heavier because I could do anything. The gotcha here is the principle of private property and giving being voluntary. Either it should be and the chips fall where they may, or government steps in. In all this, I am still trying to work here. I get no compensation except family handouts and from church. So, I am trying to get something going. Looking into helping others find work, or at least meaningful volunteer work that then could lead to employment (see the GodIsHiring link below to the facebook group). On a related not here, the word "slothfulness", which is connected to laziness, has a connection to depression. It involves an abandonment of hope. I would say the bulk of lazy people have generally been robed of hope and have no basis for motivation to do anything (motive or reason to do is at the heart of motivation). Circumstances in life can totally rob someone of reasons to be and do. I have seen this battling things myself, where repeatedly not getting anywhere can cause one to even give up the will to live. |
Dude if that's all true how in the hell do you not work in a corner office for a big corporation by now? A masters degree and all the work you've had is as a janitor? I don't mean to sound rude but you must be doing something wrong.
