No wait, make that “I earn over a million dollars a year and I will show you how you can too!”.

Or maybe this is better: I earn $6,000 a week and will show you everything. This is not a scam, here is a copy of my tax return to prove it (I wave a blank tax return in the direction of the camera).

How about this headline from the fake National Inquisitor: College Graduate Makes $2,818 Per Month in Online Venture (bottom of the story leads to a link to Google Works)

Then there is this Bill Bartman guy who has been spamming my blog nonstop for a couple weeks now who claims: “I’m Bill Bartmann, the self-made billionaire who is, for a very limited time, willing to mentor YOU on how to CASH IN on the trillion-dollars in Bank-Owned Assets that are wreaking havoc on our economy”. He also claims he doesn’t need to work 60 or 70 hours a week. What? If you are a billionaire you don’t need to work 1 hour a week!

Just for fun you should type into Google “ways to make money” or “how to make money”. Then look to the right of your screen to see all the paid ads. Those ads are freakin hilarious and if you want a good laugh click on some of them.

Many of them have videos with some schmuck telling you he’s not scamming you and you should buy his rapid profit system or some other crazy lie. The buzzwords these guys use just keep on flowing:

Jobs for recent college graduates are at an all time low with no real end in site. Many are choosing to go to graduate school as a better option than sitting around waiting for a miracle. What is making it so hard to find that first real job is that there are fewer of them and college graduates are now having to compete with seasoned workers who have been laid off.

Entry level jobs used to be for young workers who want to get their foot in the door. Right now in 2009 and 2010 though, “entry level” is a a job title that many people will gladly take. After all, any kind of job is better than no job.

What do kids who have just graduated college do then? They have to keep looking and never give up all the while trying to keep the best attitude as possible. The more contacts they make the better their chances and never before has “networking” been more important.

During their jobs search they might look for other ways to earn money both on and offline. Rather than sit around all day, they should be learning a new skill and trying to broaden their knowledge base in order to open up more options. Jobs that are hiring are few right now and they need to find a way to make it through until the economy picks up again.

If you thought you were going to get some free Obama help with jobs, grants, debt, money, daycare, health care, or whatever it should be clear by now that it isn’t going to happen. Every one’s job is in jeopardy and that includes company presidents, upper management, middle management, lower management and everyone else. There is no where to hide and Obama can’t help you. 

If you are smart right now, you are trying to set up a second income job where ever you can find one. Seriously, it is no time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. You know about survival of the fittest? Well, things could get like that.

A New Era Of Jobs Is Upon Us

Jobs and job descriptions are changing. A real 9 to 5 job used to be the “safe” job. It is the only thing that 99% of us have ever had and ever known. A corporate or 9 to 5 job is where you get your health care, your 401 K, your two weeks vacation, and your team building meetings. It is where you have your 1 on 1′ s with your boss that doesn’t have a clue what you do. Your job is where you sit in that cubicle from hell and live half your life. But it is the only thing you have ever known and you don’t want to give it up.

Some people are risk takers and those people have never had those 9 to 5′s or they found a way to leave them behind. They are the ones who forge their own way, work from home, and are self employed. They pay their own health care, set up their own IRA’s, and (gasp) have to send in taxes out of their account quarterly to the IRS. These people are the ones that had the risky job and they were the brave ones.

Self Employed People And Jobs Might Be The Safer Route

Now though, with the economy being what it is and Obama wreaking havoc with our lives and our children’s lives, maybe the nature of jobs and job security has changed. Just maybe these people that have learned how to fend for themselves are the ones with the advantage. After all, if you work for yourself, you can’t get fired. You may lose clients and work but you aren’t kicked into the street with hardly a “thanks” and “goodbye”.

I think it is safe to say that if you are self employed and out there all on your own, you might be in a safer job security position than all the working stiffs of the world. With the Obama deficit, Obama taxes going up (and anyone with half a brain should know they are),and Obama health care possibly being passed, jobs are going to continue to disappear for some time. If you are self employed doing something, you are probably in a less tenuous position than many of the people who don’t have a clue they might get canned any day.

Right now there are tons of people searching the web for information on Obama help and Obama stimulus checks. These people can’t fend for themselves and they need government assistance from our new President. They are not prepared for the bad times and need Obama’s assistance. They are looking for ways to earn money or more pointedly, handouts from Obama. Finally, they want your money and think they have the right to it.
