INeedAJob Here's your 5 year plan to $100k. Are you ready? 1.) Go get your CNA certificate. Be willing to clean up shit, feed Alzheimers patients, and lift bariatric patients for $8-12/hr. 2.) Enroll in an AS to RN program at a community college. You'll have to knock out the pre-reqs...

Funny, I've found it to be the complete opposite. I'm a construction PM for a GC. Over the last five years or so, I've probably worked with at least two dozen black guys in the construction field. I've yet to find one who actually moves quick. They seem to have the highest turnover rates...

It takes at least five years of experience in HVAC before someone can be knowledgeable enough to go off on their own. Expect to put up with a lot of BS the first five years for close to minimum wage. I have a four-year degree in construction management and work as project manager for an HVAC...

Your best bet is to go to a community college and get a 2-year degree. Most community colleges are pretty cheap and they offer fully accredited online courses, so you can still work and trade part-time. Once you have the associates, and you know for what you want to do with your life, you can...

It's obviously pronounced "Nye Gas". Still funny though.

Fake.

Something strange is going on here.

Also, it's rIdiculous, not rEdiculous. And sepArate, not sepErate. I see these all the time.

No. Soda and Cheetos are next.

Somebody really wants a war.

With many companies, it's the only way to apply. I used to work for a large retail chain in college. People could only apply online. If someone came in person to give the manager a resume, he'd throw it in the trash. Hiring managers have become automated.

Not true. There are plenty of Americans who are willing to work in skilled labor. Nobody wants to hire them. I work in construction, but I only got the job because I have a bachelors degree in construction management. After high school, I applied for apprenticeship with IBEW, UA, and SMWIA...

Actually, he's right. Nobody cares where you went to college, especially the first 2 years, unless you want a job on Wall Street or academia. Most community colleges are extremely inexpensive. It won't pay off now. However, in 5-10 years you may have a job that actually pays a livable...

Libraries may be free, but employers want to see formal education on a resume. "I studied at the library in my spare time" isn't good enough. Somewhere along the way, a college degree became a minimum requirement to land a job that pays a livable wage. Pretty soon you're going to need a PhD...

There are plenty of smart people with clean records who need jobs. Why would they hire you?
