Hopefully someone can get Hatch a job.
Though why is he posting that he wants a job for only six months?
Why doesn't he get a permanant job?
Is it just a matter of saving some money so that he can continue to eek out a living as a pool player?
And why is he making his labor services available on this forum?
Can someone ensure that Hatch knows how to properly job hunt?

I don't like to tell others what they NEED to do, but by dog, he better start to gain a skill other than pool.
When I saw that Dennis substituted "whether" for weather in one of his Facebook replies, I cringed.
I hope that's not indicative of his overall English writing skills. Sad.

Advertising on Face Book, your desire to have a job is not quite the way to go about it if you're serious.

Basically asking anyone that frequents your page to make an offer or help.

Have to grab a news paper and check out on line hiring sites in your area.

He may be also doing this and using his page as another venue, I don't know.

Knowing how some pool players think, well, you just never know what they're thinking.

There are tons of jobs out there for the average person. If you're looking for an easy position with no job skills, the market is a bit narrower.
 
Here we go again. A pool player that was close to top tier in tournaments and one of the best playing for the money for 30 years and has 0 to show for it. He has probably made over a million dollars or more in those 30 years. It's even worse in 2000 than it was being broke in the 1960 or 1970's. Back then you could have no schooling, no skill, and still get an entry level blue collar job to pay for a roof over your head, eat, and have a used car.

Out of the 100's of top tournament and road players over the years only about 5% had any money when it was over. Those that did made it off the table doing something else. It's a shame, but when you're making the big bucks you have to have money management for the dry years. As far as a good pool player in the U.S, I've always said, use it as a good part time job and have a real job or small business. Johnnyt

*********
"Why doesn't he get a"...
It's permanent, I however didn't cringe.

"Why is he making ...on this forum" ?
He posted on FB, not here. Reading comprehension not your strong suit?

"Can someone ensure that Hatch knows"...
"I hope that's not indicative"... ----------------------> Condescend much ?

"I don't like to tell others what to do, but"... -----------> You will

Pretty sure Networking has always been the number one way to get a job. Facebook is one of the top social networking sites out there. ProPlayers have tons of followers. He will get leads this way. As with any job search you cant rely on one method of job search.

Thats not really a good analogy. Most working people over a 30 year period will have made like 500 to 700 thousand dollars and have nothing to show for it beyond surviving. If they are lucky they may have some equity in a home but a lot don't even have that.

They will also have lived lives of getting up in the morning and going to a job they hate, hardly taking a vacation and almost never have a chance to realize any kind of dream. I would not be so quick to feel sorry for someone like Dennis Hatch. Just the fact that we are on here talking about him puts him above most people.

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."
Henry D. Thoreau

Most people names are not even known beyond their immediate circle for friends. They live, survive and die with three unread lines in an obituary, there are few exceptions. To have the chance to have done what Dennis has done in his life regardless of the financial rewards is quite something. Now or sometime soon he may wish to move on to a new phase of his life, but I seriously doubt he will or should have any regrets about his life as a pool player.

It is easy to wish we had done this or that in the past but the truth is, we are who we are at the time we are. That means that who you are today is not who you were then and we all change over time many times.

It may make someone feel superior to knock someone like Dennis due to his life choices. Those kinds of criticism often come from their own frustrations with their own lives regardless of their financial position. Money can't buy what Dennis has accomplished, he is exceptional.

agreed, most here would not understand that

absolutely correct
 
Dennis never made a million bucks off pool. He wasted his best days out of the pool hotspots in Buffalo. He choose family over pool and surely did so consciously. Dont knock a guy for being down and trying. Thats pretty low. Surely you wouldnt talk crap to his face. You guys kill me the way you hate on pros. You love tge game, hardly able to make 4 balls in a row. Whatever, let the hate continue.

You know, all the time people on AZ are saying why don't these pro's go out and find a job.
Well here's one is that's trying to do just that.
Except for your first sentence, "Hopefully someone can get Hatch a job" you seem
to do nothing but cut him up.
