I recently lost my job and need a new one. I have a 4 year degree and I have a have held many different types of jobs. That being said, I don't really have expertise in any one field. I am kind of in a position in my life where I can and want to start anew, with a career that is actually fulfilling, or at the least, one that doesn't make me want to kill myself. Any ideas? I've thought about going to trade school, maybe become a welder of something, but idk if 2 years of no pay is feasible right now. Regardless I need to figure something out. I am not an idiot, I am a fast learner, and I am fully confident that I could perform almost any job to a satisfactory level (except maybe some jobs that would require some previous specialized training). So does anybody have any bright ideas?

TL/DR: I need a job. Where should I look/apply?

(I almost want to post my censored resume to get some input.... but I'm not THAT stupid. Lol)

What the fuck are you smoking? Or have you lived under a rock the last 5 years..? Theres a damn good reason for the nationwide hiring crisis.

Hey, the dude asked for job ideas. I gave him an idea.

The crisis is actually because of the 08 recession. Most departments froze their hiring for anywhere from 1-5 years. Fast forward to today, and all the retirements, resignations, transfers, and firings in that time, plus a slow start back has lead large gaps in most departments. So they are getting to the point where they are falling below critical numbers to cover patrol, and are being forced to pull specialty divisions back to the street.

Add to this the current political climate, and they aren't getting the kind of numbers they need.

To be clear, every hiring event is still packed with people. Just not the correct caliber of people, as attrition is huge through each step as you go thru physical, background, psych, medical, and interview segments.

Fair enough, he did ask for ideas. However I don't think what you're suggesting is a particularly good idea. Thats my opinion though.
