If you have a strong stomach and a tolerance for the stupid, you could be a PA. Pay's pretty good. The hours can be a little fucked up, but you'll pretty much always have a job no matter where you go. Just need a little schoolin.

Do you work for a local bank or one of the big ones?

Perhaps getting out of the retail space might be a good move.


I think JPMorgan is expanding their ABL product, Bank of America may have some oppurtunities now that the Merrill jerk-offs are jumping ship because Lewis didn 't want to continue the culture of massive bonuses for new business no matter how the overall portfolio is doing.

Good tip. I was looking at Wachovia soon to be Wells Fargo. But the market continues to worry me. Shame I didn't get in on the bonuses for nothing gig..always a dollar short and a day late I suppose...

I can tell you from personal experience, you need to have something else going on to make that work... it doesn't support anyone

Granted. But you almost have to have something on the side anymore no matter what you do and I love MCs. Would love to work for a dealer but the ones I know have poor management or the good ones have no avail. openings

Virginia has lots of jobs that need to be filled. The riding is really nice. Check near the coast around the shipyards and freight hubs...lots of jobs here.
