Rise and shine morning glories. You've got truck payments and opportunity is beating down your front door.
The year ended with another month of job growth and salaries outpaced inflation. So if you're looking for situations to make some money, there's something out there for just about everybody.
If you've been watching, you know there are some high profile openings not just for anybody. These openings are looking for a certain somebody and some of you might just be somebody certain enough.
Last week, a nice job opened up at Harvard University. If you're looking to add President of Ivy League school to your LinkedIn, now is the time. You'll probably need a PhD or two, but if you do, have your citations in order, and can dunk congressional gotcha questions, you are an attractive candidate.
If your marketable strengths are different, there are always quality openings at the end of college and pro football season. If you've played football at any level, you're qualified.
So if you can tell a blitz from a block or a pulling guard from a pass to the flat, it might be your time to be called Head Football Coach at Alabama. Why not? Their last coach grew up in West Virginia and he won more national championships than anybody ever. How hard can it be?
If neither of those directions feel right for you, there might be some other high profile job openings any day. I'm not sure about you, but if I disappeared from work for a week and didn't tell my boss or coworkers anything, I'd be unemployed. Are you a veteran? How many stars do you need to chair the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
You don't have to go all the way to DC to nab a sweet political job. All the next Kentucky House District 93 representative had to do was sign a piece of paper. He'll be unopposed in the primary and unopposed in the general election. He starts next January.
The job was just too much for the current guy whose party gerrymandered a hard working effective representative out of the job to get him in.
Remember what happens when the dog catches the car? Exactly.
There could be a mayor job opening up somewhere in Pike county before long. The pay isn't too high but they say the dividends make up for it.
Those openings all sound interesting, but none compare to the position you can apply for right now. If I didn't have 3 jobs already, I'd be pulling every string I knew to get in the door for an interview.
If ever a job screamed my name, it is this one. I am sure no one is more qualified.
If I weren't driving Miss Loretta, I could surely be driving Oscar Mayer. That's right, I should be a driver of the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. I am a born hotdogger. That is what I truly want to be.
If there's a little tune running through your head right now, you can thank me later. But right now, get a job.
