You get paid the same no matter how few people get in and out of the place. <BR/><BR/>There are managerial positions that open up from time to time. Usually they want degrees and a lot of experience in something. I would look into those. You may also be able to slip into a level 1 administrative job. Or what the heck, apply directly to a County / City Commissioner or the Mayor to work on their staff. Political appointments go through a different process than regular jobs. If they like you, you are in. They find the money in their budget as if by magic. The problem is that when someone is unelected you are out a job. But you can sometimes jump ship to somewhere else. You get to know a lot of people working for a Mayor or Commissioner. This is one doorway to a consulting job. The other is to become a department head or get elected. <BR/><BR/>I am about as fringe as you can get.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-20224360413649018662008-01-14T22:35:00.000-05:002008-01-14T22:35:00.000-05:00Uncle Joe, :D There is something in what you say. ...<B>Uncle Joe,</B> :D There is something in what you say. Fellow bloggers are kind of fringe-element, wouldn't you say? We're all reaching out to people who aren't like anything we can find around us because WE are so different. Yeah, Lazy's very bright!<BR/><BR/><B>Lazy,</B> Great idea - but public sector jobs don't pay much (I used to be in them - and the titles are prestigious but the pay was poor). HOWEVER - perhaps something I haven't tried yet... The US Postal Service? So when I go nuts I can truly be going postal...? I am going to take the Spanish courses offered through The Rosetta Stone in the hopes that being bilingual will open doors. I won't be PERFECTLY bilingual, but something's better than nothing...?Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-14668952145817795912008-01-14T22:15:00.000-05:002008-01-14T22:15:00.000-05:00I agree with what he said. that reptile guy before...I agree with what he said. that reptile guy before me.<BR/>I figured you were having some sort of trouble.<BR/>This proves you should only be friends with bloggers..Whistle Britcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896698165547735903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-84865766090987402402008-01-14T22:00:00.000-05:002008-01-14T22:00:00.000-05:00Look into public sector jobs.
