I believe Mortgage Broker is worse right now.
A burger flipper.
My job will always be worse than a realtors! HeHe.
Roofing contract employee Inland Empire.
I agree! Roofing, paving, framing, concrete... anything outdoors in the hot sun has got to be brutal right now.
Try working in an injection molding factory:
Low pay (industry standard)
Fast paced, very hot work
uneducated co workers who are usually drunk.
After you take out the union jobs this is what manufacturing we have left in the U.S.
quit the complaining....being "out of work" witht a mortgage to pay is the worst
Shall we start taking bets on the next "johnny-come-lately" job the realtors will take?
I'm guessing delivering foreclosure notices for $50 each.
Any job that is ground zero for outsourcing, or overseas manufacturing. At least the realtor can make business adjustments and control their destiny, as opposed to an employee.
(I guess I am taking about a broker here, and not an employee RE sales person)
>>> Try working in an injection molding factory:
Yes, this is going overseas as well. The conditions are ripe. Once a mold is made, the products are stamped out in a standardized fashion by people with a lower skill requirement.
I used to work in a manufacturing plant while going to college for electronics, and kind of enjoyed the environment (I was not a line worker, but the technical geek). They manufactured stereo's and bug killers. This was early 1980's in a tough employment environment, and US manufacturing going overseas. It amazed me the people who would come in at 8:00 AM, get a job, work for 3-1/2 hours, then go out, get drunk, and either not come back or come back so drunk they are fired on the spot. Even in a high un-employment rate, anyone who showed up at 8:00 each day *SOBER* had a job as long as they wanted, and even quick promotion to "line manager".
I wanted to help re-vitalize US manufacturing with improved technology, techniques, etc., but realized that the raw material (workers) who took these jobs was really scraping the bottom of barrel in the labor pool. Yes, the jobs did not pay well (minimum wage for your first 6 week probation, then .50 raises for each period you survived) But the wages were dictated by the very thin margins of selling consumer goods made in the USA through the K-Marts of the time.
Kind of sad, and I eventually went away from companies that made things (eventually computers) to software only companies.
(Yes, I know these jobs are at risk for outsourcing eventually as well...)
Illegal Mexican construction worker in Phoenix.
High school guidance counselor, or nudie-booth janitor :)
Oh, how about the guy who has to fire everyone so they can move their jobs overseas. He's not the CEO,just someone who know that they will also lose their job later after giving out the slips.
Marketing executive pushing empty, mindless consumption?
2. Phoenix condo flipper, when the A/C gives out.
1. US soldier, Iraq.
0. US soldier, Iraq, whose wife made them buy a condo in 2005
A nudie booth janitor!!! hehehe.
that has to be the worst job out there besides osmans job anyway
Wouldn't be suprised to turn on TV and watch "Dirty Jobs" on PBS and the topics will be Realtor or Mortgage broker
How about being one of those educationally subnormal, overweight ugly looking majority workers who work California DMV's?
Worst Job:
Being George Bush and having to live with yourself and the blood on your hands.Curse of the decade.
A worse job than realtor? How about sewer line plumber when the brown trout are running?
What's the difference between a Realtor® and a bucket of "brown trout? The bucket of course.
Being a liberal democrat. It has to suck being so jealous, bitter, and lacking integrity. Waking up everyday knowing that if you just stopped bitching and blaming others for your shortcomings you could actually improve yourself. It has to be tough when your heros are Al Franken, Pelosi, Kennedy (the big drunk one),Barney Frank, and Hillary. It also has to be hard knowing that supply side econonomics is currently working (again, remember Reagan), and that peace through strength will again prevail. All this while you losers said it wont work. You were losers 20 years ago before the USSR crumbled and you are now. I am going to put on my Bush 08' tee shirt on and walk down to Starbucks to piss off all the limosine liberals reading the New York Times surfing the (free) web on their Apple computers (tough run for that stock). I would like to invite each and everyone of you to have sex with yourselves. Good day from NYC bitches
The New Banker
Commodity Trader
only supply side i see working is the incredible supply of houses!
welcome to supply side economics folks
where the supply is greater than demand.

Yeah man... I can read your pain.
My advice to you after you get your jollies off at Starbucks, go down to 11th Ave around between 38th and 44th St or so. In order to further release your right-wing wacko anxieties and emotional shortcomings,for $50 bucks you can fellate a she-male for a while and build up your emotional confidence.
You conservative sicko.

Dude..turn off the conservative talk radio and wake up.
It's the red states that have the worst child poverty, poor health care, bad environment, corruption, poor education system, unplanned pregnancies, and homicide rate.
The talk show jocks are just fking with your mind and giving you a group (liberals) to hate every morning. Hope it feels good because you are being manipulated.
The only politics that makes sense in the US today is that of moderate. Reject the right and left extremes.
"Tell me brainiac what has George Bush done for you or your family? Come on try to think you can do it."
Dear Dan,
Here's what GW has done for me and my family.
1) Crushed the Taliban, captured Saddam and captured or killed most of his crew, killed Zarqawi.
2) Made possible to have democratic elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, while freeing Iraqi people from a killer dictator.
3) Lower taxes for EVERYone in EVERY tax bracket.
4) Appointed 2 judges to supreme court, and we know which way they will lean on key issues.
5) Did a nice job vetoeing the stem cell bill yesterday, as it did cross a moral boundary and I agree w/ him 100%. BTW, the liberal media (everything but Fox on tv) will paint the picture as if we now will have no money to fund this research. We all know this is not true, as there are dozens of private sector companies that are spending billions on this research.
6) GW has made this country a strong and safer place for me to live in.
What has he done against you and your family Dan???
What has Dubya done for me?
1) Shown me that nations and their citizens half-way around the world are of more concern to him than the poor masses he governs.
2) Made huge strides in destroying any hope of a fiscally sound future for the US.
3) Taught America that consumption is the One True Religion. Screw whether you can pay for it or not! Cut taxes, then sadle the budget with huge war deficits. Great call!
4) Demonstrated that a little flag waving, bible-thumping, and good old fashioned vote-buying are still a great way to win an election. (though having a soft opponent helps).
5) Taken steps to eliminate many of the burdensome 'civil rights' I've been dealing with. Also making sure this 'civil right relief' lasts beyond his tenure by appointing two like-minded justices.
too bad loser, deal w/ it.
Anonymous Said: Illegal Mexican construction workers in Phoenix. Question to all the Albert Eisenstein's in the Audience = How "Many Jobs have been Permanently Lost to Illegal Immigrants because of Big Businesses greed which in turn has Permanently depressed the Wages to a level no American Citizen supporting a Family can now afford to take and how sloppy and shoddy does the work need to be before America Wakes up and realizes our standard of Living has been permantely lowered as a Result of the Flood of Uneducated Third world Mexican Immigrants ?"
You sound like a racist KKKr who thinks you have bloodlines to the Mayflower.
Deal with and get off you fat ass and compete so you can desperately try to cling to your diminshing standard of living...if not, the trailer park has vacancies.

I thought all you Mexicans already had all the Trailer Park spaces - Did I miss One ?
last Anon:
Just the fact you assumed he is Mexican makes you a racist. STFU you douche.
Last Anon:
