A Working Stiffs Manifesto: A Memoir of Thirty Jobs I Quit, Nine That Fired Me, and Three I Cant Remember by Iain Levison - Loved This Book!

All Iain Levison really wants is a steady paycheck, cable television, and the possibility of a date on Saturday night. But after blowing $40,000 on an English degree, he can't find the first, can't afford the second, and can't even imagine what woman would consent to the third. So he embarks on a time-honored American tradition: scoring a few dead-end jobs until something better comes along. The problem is, it never does.

A Working Stiffs Manifesto is a laugh-out-loud memoir of one man's quest to stay afloat. From the North Carolina piedmont to the Alaskan waters, Levison's odyssey takes him on a cross-country tour of wage labor: gofer, oil deliveryman, mover, fish cutter, restaurant manager, cable thief, each job more mind-numbing than the last. A Working Stiffs Manifesto will resonate with anyone who has ever suffered a demeaning job, worn a name badge, or felt the tyranny of the time clock.

Loved This Book!
A working Stiff's Manifesto, by Iain Levison, was a terrific read. An college graduate with a degree in English, the jobs Levison take are not ones that a degree is necessary. However, Stints in Alaska processing fish,a grocery store, truck driver, heating oil delivery man...

The book is funny. It is also incredibly sad. Levison is obviously smart and wants a good job--he simply doesn't know how to do so. He is part of the working poor and simply cannot imagine how people "make it" in the work world. What it must be like to make real money.

I want to know what the author is up to now. I would love another memoir. If you liked Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, you will love this book.
