Did you ever think about becoming a police officer?
 
Yeah lemko, but you got to have a department willing to sponsor you pal. We had 18,000 ex police officer's looking for work in 2006 thus their is strong competition for every opening. Unless you want to live in Detroit, which has many area's less safe than the streets in Bagdad, you can't get a sponsorship to get MCOLES certified. I've put in for several law enforcement type jobs but the competition is unfortunately just tough pal. The bottom line is Delphi, is now talking about shutting down a plant in Wisconsin and laying off 200 meaning those folks will have preference and recall rights when ever Delphi's Wyoming, Mi. plant hires. They got to call back the elgible Coopersville, workers first shattering any hope of working their any time soon.
 
Lemko, only if you knew what I'm going through pal in my divorce. At least you appear to have a very good women and she is marriage material.

Yeah, I was actually going through school to finish off the BS when I was between jobs and landed at the gen-set place. I was lucky to have that position and then I lucked up and found the position I'm in now. The BS I was obtaining and then later on dual Masters Degree didn't really help at the gen-set place, but my past experience in the industry helped. So it was a give-take but paid the bills for a few months until I landed here. And the whole divorce thing, unfortunately I can't help there either (hell I can't keep a steady GF).
 
You're right about the BA, unless it has "M" in front you won't even be looked at. And it's getting to the point you better not just have a cookie-cutter one MBA. There better be some type of specialization / concentration attached.
 
I hope the interview today works out for you. Maybe you can get a doing security at Delphi.

Again, it'll beat being without a gig. And who says you have to stay, use this as a temp then move on to something better.
 
Anyway, first your Lios lose to Philly (it was those uniforms; blinded and made the Lions sick) and now UAW striking:

Yeah, I'm having a rough couple of days. The UAW, is fighting for their lives against corporate greed. Until the large unionized company's like the Big 3 & UAW fight against these free trade laws and elect a guy like Dennis Kucinich, who is pro american labor their isn't much hope for this country. We are a nation in decline.
 
Those Eagles Jersey's were indeed ugly but that's still no excuse to lose like they did.

That's what I think the real issue is, with the corporate greed. I think the UAW doesn't want to end up like the pilots / stewardess and mechanics from the airline industry. These people were point-blank drained of everything, while the execs got nice bonuses and raises for "stopping the bleeding and making the numbers". There were no sacrifices, no benefits lost on the exec; it was all on the workers, those that survived the lay-offs & down-sizings (or "right-sizing" as they later called it). There were still huge losses but because the losses where less than they were the year previous, they made the grade, got the money.
 
That's a bunch of bull ka-ka!!
 
And as you know, until it happens to you, you don't know how it feels to go through that crap-o-la!! I went through it with Exide (GNB Division) and there were tons of people that wanted (and still want) the execs heads on platters. Man am I glad to be outta that place

Yep, it's hard to accept a contract when you and your brothers and sisters are the only ones feeling the swords edge cutting into your standard of living.

Looks like they're going to get the bonuses to retain the executive braintrust.
 
More like brain-frt to me
