-25 degrees CELCIUS.... dear god.

I'm extraordinarily happy to be in South California, where it rarely goes below 60 F during winter days, and rarely goes below 40 F during winter nights.

I use AIM; however, it's not that shitty Triton or a newer version. I'm using 5.2.3292, which is old enough to evade the shit.

In my view, this is the food chain of jobs in America:

Top (highest status jobs / highest paid jobs)
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Doctors, Lawyers, CEOs/executives, Corporation Owners

2. Regional Manager

3. Stockbroker / Pharmacist / Nurse / Anaesthesiologist / Other paraprofessional careers.

4. General Manager

5. Normal Manager

6. Teaching / Professor / Government Worker

7. Upscale Food (like waitering or bartending) / Retail Clothing (e.g. The Gap) / Nice Hotel Serivce

8. Food Service / Factory Work / Misc. Retail like Video Stores and Best Buy / Normal Hotel workers / Door To Door Sales / Telemarketing (good pay though)

9. Walmart / Meijer / Target / Kmart / Dollar Store Retail
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom (lowest status jobs / lowest paid / crappiest environment)

There are obviously more jobs than what I've listed. Category 7 and above tend to require a more personable attitude. those are the jobs that if you hate people, you will hate the job, most likely. I don't think you should work in category 9 (9th circle of hell) if you can help it. If you really need a job, food places are ALWAYS hiring. In a pinch that's where you go. To get higher jobs you generally need to be personable and have some sort of experience. Getting recommendations from people you know who work there also helps.
