[QUOTE="UPSAOT, post: 582399, member: 20474"] I am really, really happy with my job at UPS. But, it is part time and times are tough. So, I have been looking for a second job for quite a while- with no luck. I finally see a "Help Wanted" sign in my local library, where I spend lots of time, being a voracious reader. and would love to work there. I check it out and see the hours are perfect for me and won't interfere with my main job, the pay is decent, but...."Must Speak Spanish". 1 strike, I'm out. :angry: I really worry for my kids-they don't have the choice to learn 2 languages until they are in High School, and by then it is harder to learn. Americans are at a total disadvantage. More and more jobs require Spanish. I am so sick of catering to "minorities". Already, my teenagers have trouble finding a job in our area, even at McDonald's. (ours is owned by a Spanish person, and only Mexican/Spanish work there) I really wish I could raise some type of discrimination suit on this....but I guess that wouldn't work since English is not legally our national language. I think the Polish, Italians, Arabs should all raise Hell so everything can be printed in MULTIPLE languages, and only someone who speaks all 4 can get a job. hahaha. Ok, it is too nice out to be so pissed. I feel better now. Thanks. (Would be interested to hear of anyone else's experience in this area, or opinions.) [/QUOTE]
