Would You Like a McJob With That?


Headline: Value of Older Workers Likely Will Increase
Between the Lines: As Demand for Soylent Green Rises

That’s just one of the feel-good articles in the Business section this week. Another detailed the job growth prospects of various occupations in the coming years. Wave good - bye as anything decent boards a slow boat to China…
What's left? Why these hot prospects!

10 hot jobs in Illinois

1. Registered nurses - sick people? I don't think so!

2. Retail salespeople - been there, done that, quit that

3. Business operations specialists - if you can't tell what the job is from the title, good luck!

4. Janitors and cleaners, except maids/housekeepers - huh?

5. Customer service representatives - Customer Clueless

6. Waiters and waitresses - I can so relate

7. Food prep/service workers, fast food - Would you like fries with that?

8. General and operations managers - barely managing now as it is...

9. Cashiers - sorry, I'm over-qualified: I can make change for a $20

10. Truck drivers, heavy/tractor trailer - this is out, I can't parallel park let alone back a trailer
