I Got Tired Of Temp & Contract Jobs

In this day and age we face many issues with the economy. Imagine how much money we put in from a week or two with a V8 or even a V6 vehicle close to $4 a gallon. And going to the groceries is not cheap either. Look at the prices of milk! Look at the prices for meat or produce foods such as fruits and vegetables. Look at the prices or our bills in rent, or mortgage, electricity and the like. Every year it is getting expensive. We face daily issues with stress, trying to earn money here and there. Financial issues will always be around. This is why I consider it is not best to rely on temporary jobs or even contract jobs. As you know such jobs as these only last a week, a month or two and jobs like this whoever you work for don't guarantee you might have a job next after you have done the contract. What can you do after you have done the job and then no job after? Going back again to looking for another job until you are hired. The gas and the time to do those interviews is consuming. Desperate measures is always on the go 2008 to 2009 and beyond. Each year something increases from $0.50 to $1.00 in prices. Not many people can live on their own. That's why many people are still living with their family, parents, loved ones or roommates. Combined help with rent and bills is a great solution in this day and age. Many of you have been through careers, vocational schools and even college. Some of you aren't getting the jobs you need. Long term jobs are going to be necessary. Even if the job is part time at first it is best to work your way up. Sometimes it is good to start off with a new career, you have fun, and pay starts to grow. I work one job for now, long term in a union at Vons. Now I have a process of having another 2nd job hopefully for Best Buy working for Geek Squad. This too is a long term job. Having 2 incomes is a great thing to have. Sure why not? I'm single, no kids, date women at times and am happy at where I'm at. Multiple incomes is an awesome thing to have especially while you're working outside you can make income on the internet especially on PTC sites. So there you have it. That is my matters of opinion and to my knowledge this is reasonable and understandable.

Yes, these type are jobs are not promised. You only work for a certain given time, and then you will have to leave. It is up to that job that you are on to decide if they want to hire you as permanent. I know, because I have been on a job like this. I have never gotten hired.

wow nice and great point view and a very long explanations.. yeah you right its really tiring to have a contact jobs and a temporary jobs. since we are facing a really a great trouble in our economy so we need money to buy what we need and what our family needs even though we are still single and know wife and kids to think. we are still have this economic crisis caused some of us people work for a very less of compensation so how can a very small compensation support for us... and also it really hard to find a job.. but if you may ask if i like to work as a contractual or in a temporary I will then answer you that i will be much grateful to work rather than just a jobless..
