Seriously, goatnstang is right. That's where I got my training. Now I work for a multinational defense contractor. Great job, great benefits, interesting work, and my division is the most profitable in the company. Join up. Learn something while they pay you. You can't beat it.

Apply at WaMu! They might be hiring for teller starting around $10! Here is a good joke guys. Cheer up everyone **** can't get worse, it has to get better!!!

Joke of the day!!!
A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job." The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year." The guy, wide-eyed, says, "You're Bullshittin' me! The Social Worker says, "Yeah, well..! . You s tarted it."

naw you could know jack squat and theyll hire you for 17/ hr. Just be ready to bust *** cause they want people to work as much as possible, they say 10 hrs four days but it ends up bein 12-15 hrs a day and if you want you can come in two more days. They say to apply online, personally from my experience its best to apply then walk straight in to whoever your going to work for and try to get a interview right then and there. Where do you live?

if people aren't knocking your door down trying to give you a job, chances are they won't want your sperm either.
