chris really needs some counseling. i remember being a mail boy , deliver mail, open it , file, walk several blocks four times a day in rain, snow, cold, hot. for 2 1/2 years. pay was terrible and it was the lowest job in company. But i went to school nights, the low pay drove me to get back into school to get a degree and advance. I remember trying to find people to replace me for over a year and no one would stay with the job. Boring,, is an excuse for laziness, not getting into the job. I had numerous positions, various departments, a number of relocations and i never found boring acceptable. Once a job is mastered , turn it upside down and start over, create additional responsibilities, help others, change your style, attend self improvement classes. seems to me this kid lacks any motivation, never learned to stick with anything and see it done. It is never too late for him to take on responsibility and i still cannot understand people who quit jobs before they have another job!

Interesting how the article starts out by quoting those who insist that the black male employment problem is structural, not behavioral, citing a 1991 study where employers said blacks had attitude problems and didn't know how to work...then basically spends the rest of the article proving that the employers were perfectly justified, at least if Chris is any example. Nearest this guy has every come to planning anything is not untying his tie because he can't figure out how to retie it - and isn't that a sad example. Figuring out that if he doesn't like his current job, maybe he should find another one first before quitting seems beyond him.
