2. So I can use a computer for something else than looking at job websites all day.

3. Make it look like to my friends and family that I’m doing something all day. I don’t know how much they believe that looking for a career is a full time job nowadays.

4. Make some money to cover my traveling habit.

5. Learn something new…probably about something old…that’s been done a thousand time before.

6. Max out a 401k plan to take advantage of the crappy stock market. Buy low sell high bitches. Plus its the only way I can keep my taxabale income down when I don’t own a house, am married or have kids.

7. Support the profits of the oil companies by driving to work. Wait, I hate driving and gas that’s why I got a Ford Fusion and requested a 4 cylinder. I made them drive to Ohio to get it.

8. Maybe my new employer would have a tuition reimbursement so I can get re-um-educated again.

9. Eventhough I still would not buy a home in Michigan for another 6 months to a year it would be nice to be able to get approved on a home loan. I know a thing or two about home loans and that’s why I’m in my current predicament.

10. It does not matter how hard I try I can’t get up until 9am and I love getting up at 6am. A job would make me get my ass up and back on a schedule. There’s only so many re-runs of Dirty Jobs I can watch at 1am.

The Top 10 Reasons I Would Like To Be Working Again

2. I have a business degree like the rest of the world.

3. I did not graduate from college with a 4.0 GPA.  “Looks like you just missed the cutoff, sorry.”

4. The college I went to was a mid-major which was a great school and I have nothing bad to say about it. I have been told that since it was not a Big Ten or major school that my below 4.0 GPA disqualifies me for a job.

5. Every time I apply for a job I get some email back saying the job was closed and nobody was hired or they have increased the requirements to you must have a MBA. Sorry, not taking on $30k in debt just so it looks like I’m smarter on paper.

6. I have told people that I ride my bike to work some times. This means I’m weird.

7.  Businesses are just not hiring so they can’t hire me. Well, the same ones that are on Monster and Careerbuilder are. There’s only so many times you can re-apply with the same 50 companies.

8. I love recessions. Gives everybody a true perspective on how much crap we have and don’t need. No new business means no job for this business major.

9. I live in   where we lead the nation in unemployment and foreclosures.

10. I found out that employers scan resumes with an algorithm similar to what Google uses to read the internet. It searches for keywords like managed, directed and other typical resume jargon and weeds out those resumes based on how many times those words are used and then sent to a human. I don’t “spam” my resume with BS, just results, but maybe I should. How funny would a resume with just the word managed look all over it.
