...which vax would you elect to take, and why? Reason I ask? I may be facing that dilemma this coming week.
I am a middle aged white guy, unemployed, not a slacker. I have two daughters in elementary/middle school. I have LOTS of skillz to bring to the employment table. In fact, I am getting interview after interview, and they are going well so far. I expect to get at least one offer soon, maybe two. The jobs I am interviewing for a quite different, speaking to the big skill set I mentioned: Communications department of a large private school producing videos, etc.; Applications Developer job with a large government lab where I would acquire some type of security clearance; An engineering design job with a medium-sized manufacturer; A Web Development job with a company in another state. I can do all of those things, and a lot more.
Here's the sticking point (pun intended): The jobs I feel good about so far.. I would need to be "fully vaccinated" to be hired. I would sincerely love to tell them all to kiss my honky ass, but I am almost out of money. I need to do something very soon.
So if you were in this predicament, what would you do? Which vaccine is "safest"? I don't believe any of them are, and it's basically like playing Russian Roulette no matter what you do. Am I wrong?
This is frustrating because we should have ACTED long before we found ourselves this far up shit creek.
Not really. I have a couple interviews scheduled, one is a remote job. The private school job would allow my daughters to attend tuition-free. That's a savings of $50,000/year. Alumni of this school include billionaires whose names you know. That's what makes that job appealing.
As a side note, my octogenarian parents have been vaxxed with no issues. I know a lot of other people with no problems. One friend died from the vax. I seriously don't know what to do. If I am offered a job where I don't have to get jabbed, I will take that.
I get it fren and wish you well on your job hunt. We all got to do what we got to do. Have heard neutral to bad things about all of the shots, so I can't help there.
The rub for me is that it will never stop until we stop it.
Appreciate it. I have been ready to put an end to this for years now. We all need to do something at the same time. Otherwise, MFers like me will be martyred in vain with barely a mention in the news.
I wish you could say that to my face, cupcake.
