have you thought about asking her what she might be happy doing?

 

My wife is wrapping up her baby making, and with the new children, comes new costs.

I'm trying to figure out if that means you impregnated her last night and it's time for her to get to work to pay for the costs of the new children on the way. If so, damn.

And you live in Katy, you say? Might I suggest evacuating before deciding on your next course of action?

 

It may mean that nobody ever taught our friend where babies come from and he thinks his wife makes them on her own.

Insurance sales, registered rep/financial planning; considering she has housing and transportation expenses covered while she can learn sales and build a client base on a commission-based job.

Separately, a lot of crude oil and natural gas companies are beefing up their commercial staffing: measurement, pipeline control, dispatch, treasury/settlements, crude oil ticketing might be good functions to look at.

I would try to talk to any staffing agencies that specialize in Finance, Accounting with oil and gas companies.

America’s severe trucker shortage could undermine the prosperous economy

LAKE MILTON, Ohio — Bob Blocksom, an 87-year-old former insurance salesman, needs a job. He hasn’t saved enough money for his retirement. And trucking companies, desperate for workers, are willing to give him one.

Age didn’t matter, they said. If Blocksom could get his “CDL” — commercial driver’s license — they would hire him for a $50,000 job. One even offered to pay his tuition for driver training school, but there was a catch: Blocksom had to commit to driving an 18-wheel truck all over America for a year.

So far, that has been too big of an ask for Blocksom, who doesn’t want to spend long stretches of time away from his wife of 60 years. “The more I think about it, it would be tough to be on the road Monday through Friday,” he said.

As the nation faces a historically low level of unemployment, trucking companies are doing what economists have said firms need to do to attract and retain workers: They’re hiking pay significantly, offering bonuses and even recruiting people they previously wouldn’t have considered.

But it’s not working. The industry reports a growing labor shortage — 63,000 open positions this year, a number expected to more than double in coming years — that could have wide-ranging impacts on the American economy.
