    Default What job "professions" bug you the most???

    For me it HAS to be ticket brokers. You could make a case for used car dealers...but I've had a few good experiences along with some really bad car buying experiences. Buying/selling tickets...there is never a good experience. What bugs me the most is when brokers from Massachusetts are buying up huge lots of tickets to concerts in Dallas just to make a buck. The only "plus side" is when you get tickets below face value and you know that the guy lost money on the deal. Sorry...just ranting for a few...

    You do when your customers pawn your stuff. Or when your class ring gets stolen and melted down. Or when the youngest brother of my stepmom's family starts pawning anything of worth just to get his meth fix.

    Wish I didn't have to deal with them.

    I'm looking for a job right now, and I'd have to say the profession that bugs me the most right now is "sales". Everybody is hiring in sales, and they list jobs in other categories, and when you go to the interview, they tell you you'll be working sales for a couple of years before you get the job you want!!!

    BTW, if anybody in the DFW metroplex knows of somewhere looking for a full-time employee who has tremendous sports knowledge, writing abilities, copy editing skills, etc., let me know!!!

    Getting a job in journalism is tough. My fiancee has her bachelor of journalism from UT and is stuck doing accounting.

    The Texas Rangers were hiring a statistician for their website. I thought about applying but you have to be at EVERY game...and I might want a few nights off.

    If you were in our area, you would be qualified for any number of small community newspapers and probably even the Corpus Christi Caller Times. The local papers are hiring all the time, having problems keeping good employees etc...

    Are there any rural newspapers published in your area? I am totally unfamiliar with the DFW Metroplex, but do know the publisher of our local paper which is highly regarded in a company that owns about 19 other community newspapers in Texas. Do you have any interest in relocating or is this even the type of job you are interested in?
