lol no

If it would cost less than $25 to train you, what are you training for, associate pencil sharpener?

Go be an intern. You don't need to start at the top, and finding a ten-hour-a-week unpaid gig will get you--voila!--experience.

@5: except for interning at the Merc, which is A TRAP!

of course interns are unpaid...that's why they're called interns.

We had another term for making people work without pay, back before Abe Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation(that would be the Abe Lincoln who'd never be allowed to win a Republican primary for any office anywhere today, btw).

And another thing that's holding back the author of this "I, Anon", just like so many other people, is that companies all across the country today are refusing to hire people who DON'T ALREADY HAVE JOBS. That's right, they're blacklisting the jobless...they're deliberately KEEPING people jobless just because they are jobless at the moment(even though most people who are out of work today are the victims of unjustified mass layoffs and thus have done nothing to deserve blacklisting). This is being done mainly to punish the country for not choosing the MOST pro-corporate candidate in the last election(never mind that the guy who won is almost as much a corporate toady as McCain would have been).

These are the kinds of things that make what we currently call capitalism a morally unacceptable system.
We have a RIGHT to expect better than that, and we're going to have to work to create something that doesn't give the wealthy this kind of arrogant, unaccountable power.

Don't give up "Anon"...and remember, your troubles are not your fault-they're the doing of people who are punishing the working people of this country for daring to slightly disobey them in 2008.
