No Money? No Job.

"It takes money to make money," is going to a whole new level in this economy.

I have been trying to get work. But everytime I try to do a job search for work, I come up with the same old problem: someone (a corporation) wants me to pay to get access to employers through their website. It's bad enough if you're already either over qualified for a job, or qualified in a wrong direction (I've been self employed for the most part for most of my adult life, and that disqualifies me -- I'm not a "team player"; I don't play well with others because I like to play by myself).

I don't like being told what I can and can't do. I know many of you are saying, "Oh, well. Welcome to the real world." But what I'm really saying is, 'I can do what you need me to do just fine.' I don't like however, being told that I have to play the corporate game (pay ahead to get ahead), in order to just play, and that's what this 'pay for access' feels like to me.

So here I am. Over qualified and under qualified. Wanting to do what I do best.

Too bad I can't play others nasty control games.
