Not according to this etymology website:\njob  \n1557, in phrase jobbe of worke "piece of work" (contrasted with continuous labor), perhaps a variant of gobbe "mass, lump" (c.1400, see gob). Sense of "work done for pay" first recorded 1660. Slang meaning "specimen, thing, person" is from 1927. The verb is attested from 1670. On the job "hard at work" is from 1882. Jobber "one who does odd jobs" is from 1706. Job lot is from obsolete sense of "cartload, lump," which may also be ult. from gob.

How come you didn't get your account suspended, oh well. Anyway you make a good point and most of their problems come from having counties runied by thier dicators and rulers. We didn't make them poor, so why should we let people come and just take out money.

dropping some letter would mean dropping thousands of words. it would be better not to go through such hassle.and english dictionaries have to be all rewritten.

America fought almost entire world war 2 with paper money.And today on an average every American spent already the entire money of next budget with credit cards.And America`s deficit budget makes it necessary to break records in printing currency.The joke is that the money you do not have is not of much value due to inflation.Relax.

If it doesn't have a date it is probably because it has worn off.It is probably only worth five cents.

It's not a matter of grammar, but of usage.  "For free" is an idiom that is considered "informal" (that is, between "formal" and "slang"), but NOT incorrect.

I only use the term in sarcasm.\n\nlike this place is so bourgie.......\n\nIn the US especially the term, really doesn't fit into our class system, as it was relevant to the historical past uses.\n\nthe meaning of true wealth has changed, as have the social divide.\n\nBourgeoisie should be reserved to a ironic adjective....\n\nlike the Target is the Tar Gje

Everybody is looking for a "job". A job is "Just Over Broke". Look beyond just a job. If you think pennies, you get pennies. If you think dollars, you get dollars. Investigate starting your own business online or offline. Which ever you choose make sure it is involved in something you really like doing. The site I am going to recommend may not be exactly what you are looking for but study the site and it's content. Listen to the message.

I just learned about this in class today. \n\nAn example would be the Great Depression. When the stock market was first 'invented', everyone put their money into the stock market because it just kept going on up. It was almost like a 'gravy train'. Because people didn't have a whole bunch of money, they would put things like their houses up for collateral for the banks. Even the banks put money into the Stock Market.As the prices rose, more and more people sold their stocks but this caused a panic because other people thought that there was something wrong with the stocks so they sold them too and asked for their money back from the banks. But since the banks had invested in the Stock Market, their stocks were losing money because no one wanted to buy them. In order to recoup their loses, the bank's called for all the collateral and loans back whick closed down factories which put people out of work and made them go to the banks to call for more loans. This pushed the banks into further debt whih caused the Great Depression. All because this little thing called the stock market came along.\n\n I don't know if that helped but I hope it did.

the big misunderstanding?   look around at these posts!\nkids who haven't a dime, borrowing thousands and thousands of dollars to take the same classes that they could take for $125.00 at any junior college!\nThe big misunderstanding is the total SCAM that has been sold to so many people that the cost of the class somehow indicates its quality.   the whole industry is a rip off right down to the $150.00 books.
