Poverty is growing because the government doesn’t care anymore. People might start losing their jobs. What should we do? Is their going to be another Great Depression?

Is there really a pay gap between male and female college graudates?

electric — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 13:20:46 +0000

This week there was an article in the New York Times says the pay gap has widen between men and women with four year college degrees. One of the things not mentioned is the large number of men quitting the jobs they went to college for to enter the much more lucrative blue collar field. Starting incomes for certified blue collar workers is running 25% higher than that for for college graduates. A certified electrician, with just six months training, has a starting income of over ,000. I had an executive from a trucking company in my taxi cab and he said that nearly half of those driving for him had college degrees.

It is more clear that Blue Collar worker earn more than College grads and when comparing incomes, they should exclude men taking jobs that a majority of women refuse to do.

I was wondering if there are careers in fixing up and selling houses. I am currently in school for being an electrician and my brother is a carpenter. My goal would be to move to california putting money down on a not so nice house and fixing them up putting money into it and selling for a profit. Is this a career? and if so how would i go about doing this. Would there be any schooling needed.

Is there much work for electricians in any of these countries?

I am writing a story about a man in the slums of Dehli who suddenly finds out that he has the ability to conduct electricity through his body, and uses it to earn money. The following is a basic synopsis…
A young man from the slums of Delhi discovers an intuiting ability to harness and conduct huge amounts of electricity, and when his talents attract the media, the public, and the World Record Group, his abilities are tested to their max, which could potentially end his life.

Amir Nizeer, a 40-year old resident from the Dehli slums, loses his job at a fast food stall, and is found out that he was caught drinking by the owner. In response to this, Amir’s wife kicks him out of the house, and tells him that he should only come back once he manages to find a job somewhere, and contributes to the family effectively. Meanwhile, Amir’s oldest son begins stealing money from his home to help his friends that are addicted to drugs, lended out by a infamous drug lord Minnas.

On the day of a cricket tournament, which all the slum men and women gather near a couple of TV’s in the slum, where they watch the game. While this happens, Amir decides that it is a good time to commit suicide, and tries to do so by electrocuting himself on anelectric pole, but strangely nothing happens to him. A local slum resident, Javed, is interested by Amir’s ability to conduct electricity, and feels that this is a greatway to turn in a lot of profit, which he would we use to purchase alcohol for himself.

They go one day into the ciy, where Javed puts on a street show for passing Dehli pedestrians, showing Amir’s ability to the public. They both make a considerable amount of money. With all this money, Javed makes an economic agreement with Amir, stating that they 45% of the profits that they make in these stage shows. Amir agrees, and so he starts a career of show business that makes him famous with both the people of Delhi aswell as the media, and becomes popularly known as the electrician. He is accepted back into his family, and distributes some of his wealth to several of the slum residents that need it. Each resident uses the money in a different way. Some use it for food, others use it for drugs, and others still use it for alcohol. Amir’s son gets more obsessed with taking money from his father, as his friends get increasingly addicted to drugs. Eventually,he runs away from home with all the money in his mother’s safe (1400 rupees for his younger brother’s education) to help his friends.

Amir is heartbroken from what his son does, since he had all his hopes on him to bring the family to the top, but continues to perfect his abilities to conduct electricity, often referring to them asa god-given gift to help the family. However, the family gets increasingly worried at Amir’s obsession with electricity,and his wife suggests him to stop, but of course Amir doesn’t listen.

Once the world record firm comes to the slums to see Amir’s abilities in action, everything changes in the slums. The firm suggests that if Amir can conduct an extremely dangerous amount of electricity through his body without injury, than his name will be in the record book, and his family will receive 1 lakh rupees from the firm. But the firm warns him that if he can’t do it, than he shouldn’t try to.

From the greed of this money, the slum residents, Javed, and the firm influence to pull this dangerous act, but his family tells him that he shouldn’t do this. But of course, out of his own greed, he decides he will do it, for the sake of everyone. Javed tries to get him ready for the big event by doing strength tests, but he himself is in it for the money he will receive as well.
On the day of the event, cameras are everywhere. The world is practically watching Amir pull of this stunt, and he does, with tragic results.
He wasn’t ready…he wasn’t prepared…
Everyone mourns his death, especially Amir’s younger son, who blames it all on Javed’s force and influence. It was all because of him, and stabs him oneday heis in his home.
In the end, you see Amir’s older son, amongst thieves and drug addicts, crying over his father’s death, and promices himself that he will return the money he stoll from his mother months ago…

I really want someone to critique this, and to tell me if i am heading in the right direction…
thank you very much
