Looking for a better job? Check out www.indeed.com. Great site, it looks at several sources for jobs, you just type in your job title and your location. You also can set it to email alert you.
On the other hand, if you are done with being a wage slave, I think a really good way to escape Dilbertland permanently is to start and build up a business WHILE you are still working for the man. What do you think? Sure, it’s hard. You’ll work your ass off, but it’s good work, you will know that what you are doing benefits YOU, doing work that is in the best interest of someone else is actually not very smart. The only benefit derived is the wage. Sometimes that’s just not enough. Life is too short to have spent it just working for a living wage, don’t you think? Well, then, get off your ass, grow some snickers, and go do something with your life! You’ve got one shot at this thing, this ain’t no dress rehersal!
I’ve read other blogs that seem to whine about how hard it is to give up the salary handcuffs. Don’t you believe in what you do? If you have something to sell that you REALLY believe in, and you KNOW it is a great value, then you should have success getting out there and selling it.
So what if at first you don’t make much money? That’s why, in my opinion, the first thing you need to do is get your personal finances in better shape so you have the freedom to act. That’s why if you are so inclined to start a business while working for someone else, getting control of your spending is priority one. You need to be able to live on very little AND build up a FU fund.

I have been doing this for awhile now, but I will keep pulling along to see if I start to make more. It is working better.
nice post. thank you. i need this info
I think the biggest reason people fail at building there own business while working for the man is that they are not willing to do the work. It took me 3 years to finally make enough outside of work to quite. And trust me, I worked like mad!
Putting up a business is a risk. It’s up to you if you would take the risk.
First obstacle which come to your way is your family if you are a sole bread earner.
You will have to gain their confidence as well, and you should have ready at least three months ration in your home.
If you have got this than just give everything whatever you have. Think … plan and go ahead.
what a relief after reading your post. i’ll tell this to my brother.he needs this
I like your site design. Thanks the article
I started two private businesses at the same time and I broke in both places. My idea was great and real, but nobody can be with one ass on two chairs. I am not discouraged, and I think about my new private company.
It’s true. Go out and start working for yourself while you’re working for a wage until you are making enough through your own efforts to quite your job. Yes, it will take a long time, yes, it will be hard, but it will become a seemless transition from salary work to working for yourself. This is exactly what I am trying to do right now, and I’ve already started making progress!
