I recently came across this interesting resume.

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned...couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it.

Finally, I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patients.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but it just didn't fit.

I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.

So then I got a job in a gym, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking.

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

You got any ideas? I'm open for suggestions...maybe you have something that WORKS...because I don't.

There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of those, there are 29 million employed by the federal governmen ...
