How far some parents go to get a job . . . for their kids
Remember when we were young, a million years ago, and we couldn't wait to leave home and strike out on our own?
Two things have changed.
Our children can't find jobs.
Our children can find jobs, but they don't like them.
My daughter is about to graduate college and is in the midst of applying for full-time work. I'm not worried. She's worked since high school, and she actually juggled two jobs plus internships and a full class load this final year. The idea of living at home repulses her because of my cooking and her father's rules, both great incentives to finding her own way in the world.
The good news is that more than half of recent college graduates say they have full-time jobs, according to Adecco's 2012 Graduation Survey.
Still, about that same number claims parents are covering some of their living expenses, things like cell phone bills, internet access, food, and health coverage. Two percent of these college grads say their parents are footing their entire living expenses. That's one in 50 kids (I think the real number is higher based on personal observation).
Some parents are not content to help pay the bills. They're going to great lengths to help Junior get a job.
According to Adecco, nearly a third of parents are helping their kids find work, and nearly one in ten are taking them to job interviews.
But that's not all.
Three percent of recent college grads say their parents have actually sat in with them during interviews, and one percent claim Mom or Dad wrote their thank you notes afterwards.
Sons are more likely than daughters to ask for help, especially when it comes to writing resumes or cover letters. About one in ten young men get such help, compared to one in 25 young women. These are probably the same kids whose mothers and fathers "helped" them write book reports and make dioramas in grade school.
Once they are offered jobs, three out of four recent grads expect to get good health benefits and job security. Good luck with that, kids!
What are deal killers?
Nearly one in four say they would not take a job they were otherwise interested in if they could not make or receive personal phone calls at work. Twelve percent say they wouldn't work at a place that wouldn't let them check in on Twitter or Facebook. Finally, my favorite, five percent — one in 20 recent grads — say they wouldn't take a job where they couldn't shop online, and the same amount would say no to employment where they couldn't check sports scores.
Oh, America.
On the upside, 58% of those surveyed, or nearly three out of five, would take a job that interested them even if it meant no personal calls, mails, texting, shopping, ESPN, or Words with Friends. Which means they might actually get some work done.

This is messed up news.
call him The Debt Collector.
Miles away, military sensors got a radiation spike and turned their satellites to view the growing chaos. Two NCOs, who just left their shift at the Army's 24 hour rape dungeon, looked at the screens with horror.
"Gojira!" Said the one with the speech impediment.
"Scramble the F-22s!" Said the other,
Two F-22s zoomed off from the base, one crashing into a school seconds after takeoff due to the existence of humidity. The other rattled and shambled across the sky like a god's chariot drawn by drunken horses, zooming in a bumblebeeline toward the godzillas.
"On root to target," said the pilot. "T minus 90 seconds. Thank the true lord (NOT ALLAH) that those pinheads in congress didn't stop this project."
The godzillas, now three stories tall, tore through a forest, schreeching, Los Angeles only a few miles away. But suddenly they stopped. A little girl stood in the forest, holding a flower and staring up at the godzillas with big blue eyes. The godzillas put down their tree trunks and sat clumsily in front of the girl, tails wagging.
"Aww, you're just a big kitty," said the girl. Then a missile, fired just seconds before the jet dismantled itself in midair and sent a thin rain of bolts and circuitboards and organs across the forest, exploded on the godzillas. A thumbs-up landed near their charred carcasses. Who's the real monster
