There are many jobs I wouldn't take. I rather starve and wait and get a job I know I would like than get a job that I would hate from the start.So I Am one of the Americans who won't do those jobs the new Americans,legal and illegal, are getting.

Or a long time ago, the old new Americans, the Irish and such. :) I can respect that.
What if your family depended on it - you couldn't get any other job - but one you wouldn't like and it was the only way to support your family - you would be the sole provider.
I lived on a resort long ago and scrubbed toilets - cleaned the guest rooms and ran the front desk - we all split our time. But it was so worth it to live on a hot springs resorts in the middle of the mountains. I know I wouldn't like it now. I've never worked in a fast food restaraunt either - even as a teen and I would never work in a department store or large grocery - it is already like sensory overload to shop in places like that!

No if I were the sole provider, I wouldn't clean toilets . I guess I would become an escort instead. If I have to do something I would hate, I rather do that then clean toilets.I know what you mean about fast food and department stores, I don't think I could do that either. anywhere where the customer is Always right, I wouldn't last for long. Oh well there goes the idea of being an escort.I'm doomed.

I can understand and relate. I would become a phone actress - upwards of 18 dollars an hour, and legal as long as you avoid certain subjects - animals, children, relatives and poop, and if the customer is annoying or rude, you 'accidentally' lose connection.

I am willing to do anything for my family. I am not choosy when it comes to work.. however., i refuse to enter in a job where my relatives are already there., a relative who is willing to help me gain an entrance in the company. I like to earn my jobs the noble way - and that is by applying for it the proper way.

I see nothing wrong with a relative calling to recommend someone. My husband's mom did it for his brother. He was already qualified for the job, and had great experience. She just called a friend in the air force their and gave him the heads up he was applying. He had to take a test and interview just like everyone else.
She was going to do that for my husband - who is also very good at his job and has beaucoup experience, but it would be a real coup to get that job because he would be paid like a few dollars more an hour. And we have a new baby and live in a dangerous city. We'd also be closer to my mom who has cancer and hasn't met her grandson. But we decided to stay here as we found a wonderful community right outside of the city but close enough to the base and the hanger that my husband works at.
However I have to say that I admire your work ethic
