[ale] OT - Job Opportunity in Alpharetta

[Jeff Lightner]

You have a bit of a point.   After turning my nose up at the $12/hour
job I was unemployed for 4 months and ultimately ended up having to move
to North Carolina to find a job.   I often thought later to myself that
since it was a night shift job that perhaps I should have taken as it
would have let me continue searching for a real job during the day.   On
the flip side knowing myself I wonder how busy I would have been in a
job hunt if I was up all night.   However, if everyone took the attitude
that this kind of job should be snapped up then I think it wouldn't be
long before all employers were only offering that rate.

Hell, even in Chattanooga they pay $7-$8 an hour for McDonalds entry
personnel.

I shouldn't admit this publically.. 

But in 2004, I made more welding than I did in IT. 
It's handy to have other skills. but I now have a very small 
dead spot in my right eye... should have used much darker filters.

It was also a year in which I spent time learning new things, 
mostly PHP/MySQL.. 

Being FLEXIBLE is important. Aptitude is just as important as 
knowledge and experience, if not more so.
