Question, How does one start a successful business without enough money for start up costs taxes etc etc for those that are on the verge of starving and homeless?
I wouldn't even suggest an attempt at a .com business ran out of the public library. This is just a thought of mine though, there is more to it then just getting hired especially if you have ZERO resources.
Heres some Startup Biz Statistics
Some really interesting figures there even suggests that 71% of businesses fail around 10 years and if you notice the most successful businesses like having a day care or start a religious organization does anyone have an idea of what it costs to get the proper licenses and insurance etc etc lol this costs a lot of doughedit on 8-8-2013 by Brotherman because: (no reason given)

IDK I can't fathom using all of the money I had to start a business without having any real knowledge and everything else required to run a business. I am sure the simple solution is to hire someone that knows better but if you don't have the capital or a solid plan then you are doomed to fail no matter what kind of wishy washy optimism one may have, you do not have to believe in the ocean to drown.
For those with no capital or attributes to make you a successful entrepreneur I do not suggest starting your own business until you get the resources and proper knowledge and education to make you successful.

I never suggest giving up but I do believe wholly that we as a nation really need to do some tweaking on current affairs and try to turn all this around. I just dont know how or what exactly needs the revamping but know that alot of stuff out there needs it in the worst way

I'm 26 I had nearly a year of unemployment after I was discharged (honorably) from the Navy. Now I'm washing dishes for $7.25 an hour, but I don't mind, work is work and the people I work with are pretty cool.
I'll agree that finding a job these days is not an easy task, sometimes you have to take a job that you don't want because at least you'll have a job.
Op, I imagine that you have more bills than I and probably a family to support. That being said, I would love to make $11.00 an hour. Maybe you'll feel better knowing that some people would love to have your job?
Believe me, I'm a skilled worker too. I have a lot of electronics experience from my time as a Sonar Tech. I'm also a good mechanic with the certifications to back it up, but I could find no employment with those skills.
Oh well, the sun still rises in the morning, and still sets at night.
