so far, no word from RIT. I thought I had a great interview, gave lots of concrete examples of how I can help, I was told I would hear back sometime this week...I'm taking this as another rejection in the long line of rejections I have experienced since job searching in 2007. really sucks that you apply and apply and apply (I've applied for jobs requiring an Associates in the Mental Health field....with 2 separate Masters in the mental health filed!) and been rejected...without even an interview). instead, i scrape by working part-time, since there seems to be nothing else out there.

and then I keep hearing how the tax rates has to be reduced on "The Job Creators". what job creators? the companies enjoying some of the lowest tax rates in decades? or the same job creators who basically ran their company into bankruptcy and then relied on Bush and the Government to make a 0% interest loan to bail them out? these job creators? that ship jobs overseas to save money or reduce jobs to increase profits while proposing more fees (>cough cough< Bank of America >cough cough<). where is the proof of these jobs being created?

sorry, politics pissing me off. read how this "Super Committee" tasked with reducing the Federal Deficit is not getting anywhere. from what I read, the 2 parties have plans like this:

Democrats-revise/revamp/cut entitlement programs, eliminate tax loopholes, raise taxes (hey, isn't there a group of millionaires in DC telling Congress "Please raise our taxes! we don't mind!")

Republicans-cut entitlement programs for the poor, elderly, and disables (hey, let's reduce the cost of living raise for Social Security and make Medicare not available to age 67) and permanently reduce income tax rates.

so which plan sounds better to you....applying logic, that is. cut spending and raise revenue or cut spending and cut revenue? haven't heard of a company yet that goes "I think I'll reduce what I pay out and cut what I take in to balance things," have you?
