Must Know Someone to Be Someone

- 9/26/2007
Despite the fact that New York has 8 million people, somehow it's got a small town attitude about hiring. You really need a reference to get a job where you aren't exploited. If you don't have a reference, expect to work for less than you are worth because they know you don't have a choice. If you have a reference, make sure it's a good one. If you want a middle class lifestyle, make $100,000 a year, or go home. I'm not kidding. A 600 square foot apartment in a bargain-basement location costs $2,000 a month.
