First, I wouldn't get insulted, I would laugh. If you need the money now, you better start enforcing parking regulations! If not, move on to the next one!

Is it what God has led me to do? Will I be able to serve others and tap into the gifts the Lord has given me? Without swallowing any pride, I take the wonderful opportunity.

SSG Tolbert, based on your question, I wonder if you've ever had the privilege of reading the book, "True Measure of A Man" by Richard E Simmons, III? This is a book that my mentor, Col. Norman Balchunas (Ret.) gave to me within the first month of our meeting; now two years ago. It is a book that will put a man on God's path in supplement to the Bible! It covers any and all issues men face in situations as you presented. If you haven't, I would encourage you to find a copy. You won't be disappointed!

That was my thought, start a business in the same field as a competitor and hire the quality applicants they seem to be turning away. My favorite thing about the free market is competition in labor which drives quality of product. If someone can afford to turn away an overqualified applicant, then he must not have enough competition...

SFC (Join to see), and that there, my friend, is one basic reason why I am a staunch conservative and believe in true equal opportunity instead of equal outcome.
