That's Odd!

Everyone is talking about how to get a job, what kind of college degree you need to succeed, what types of jobs are hot right now, and so on.  There's a book that takes a fun look at the topic of job hunting called Odd Jobs: How to Have Fun and Make Money in a Bad Economy by Abigail Gehring.  I've seen it mentioned online and in the press a few times and so decided it was time to take a look at it.  It is a surprisingly fun read.  You won't believe how much money hot dog vendors can pull in and personal shopping sounds right up my alley!  Check it out, whether you're looking for a job or not.

Will Work for Food

Gabriel Thompson decided to work in three industries that rely heavily on immigrant labor: agriculture, poultry processing, and behind-the-scenes in restaurants.

Working in the Shadows will enlighten you and make you think twice the next time you buy a head of lettuce or a bouquet of flowers.
