If I wanted to be a fireman, I would have done it a long time ago. However, it’s not too late to get myself into shape and get some training if I really wanted to. Plus, I’d get sexiness points for the simple virtue of the job. But, it’s not something I’d want to do, even though saving lives and habitations is very noble.

thepete: The whole greed of trying to create wealth outside of this country is what has gotten us where we are in the first place. Of course, the people responsible for the outsourcing are covering their collective asses, but this will definitely be their undoing. There’s a certain poetic justice to countries like India and China gaining ground on the US because we’ve essentially given them an economic foundation – skills, industrial base, even if it was out of exploitation. Of course, the Republicans would play it down if Americans got paid pennies on the dollar, because to demand just wages is socialist, right?

It hasn’t gotten there yet, but the idiots have found a renaissance in obstructionism unseen since the Clinton years.

Re: libraries – computer skills are excellent to have.

Regardless, good luck, man! You’re not alone in your search for work! In fact, I hadn’t considered looking for work at my local library. I have zero experience working in one, but I’m good with computers.

Hope everything goes well.
As a user of both the San Diego City libraries and the County libraries, it seems to me that the county is much better funded and more stable.
I could be wrong about that though. It has been a while since I lived in San Diego, as opposed to the random visit.

Maybe you could become a fire fighter, not to belittle anyones pain and suffering, but that seems to be an in demand occupation.
