My experience job hunting.

Get a class B or A CDL and go drive a concrete mixer truck and make $18-$20/hr with over OT working 60 hour weeks netting at least $1000 on the check. I don’t wanna hear it. There is work.

East tennessee can't find enough mechanics. Plenty of work.

We have a homeless shelter that is nice and will let you stay free at night. Gas to here is no more than 800 dollars for a v8 truck. In a month you will have enough money for rent in a decent trailer or apartment. In 3 months you would have enough to buy a trailer with land.

Most of those guys that are concrete drivers are total A**hats, Grown up older men, and snitch on each other for kindergarden level things. The ones ive come across are animal killers and prob wife beaters too. Same with oil field workers.

Haha, back in the early 90's i was a new car salesman at the #1 car dealer in Slc,Ut, my second month there i blew away the lazy senior sales staffs sales #'s, for being the top sales man i got to sport around in a new 300zx twin turbo car, that really pissed em off ,lol. By my 3rd month i was out of a job. Them senior sales guys tossed me under the bus repeatedly. I had made the mistake of asking the owners daughter out and somehow they found out about it and reported me.

i don't have 800 dollars

we live off welfare that barely pays the rent

cool let me just come up with thousands of dollars to relocate over there

Quit being a bum. Theres a million jobs out there.

You make fair points, but every work environment is full of that. Are you going to let asshats and grown adults acting like 5 year olds get in the way of you making money to further yourself in this life? If so, then you have a problem which is all too common in our society these days.

On second thought I would never ever hire you. Your defeatist attitude and dismissal of those trying to offer advice is stunning. You sound like a typical 20 something entitled twit. Sorry, but thats the impression you are giving over the last 9 pages of your thread.

Good luck on your future employment

cool let me just come up with thousands of dollars to relocate over there

so it's defeatist because i don't have thousands of dollars to uproot and move across country to the prospect of a job i don't even know anything about?

ok retard

a million fake jobs

Create your own job Op. It CAN be done as I've done it many many times over the years.
Think about what you are good at or really enjoy doing and figure out a way to make money at that, and yes, you can get high first. It'll probably help, lol

a million fake jobs

that's pretty harsh

i guess we have different meanings for the word "struggle"

i've only ever worked with about 10 other women in my role and scores of men ... if I had it easy then men are still like 90:1 on the easy scale

john lennon pointed out that women are the n-word of the world

yeah, i've always had a job, but i also earned a master's degree that i paid for all own my own, and i supported a family and a mortgage for decades, including a man whose physical labor took a big toll

facing the prospect of moving in elderly parents while still raising children and supporting it all on my job alone?

thank goodness i have it easy

could it be that a successful woman puts the hubris aside and does what needs to be done in spite of the naysaying?

there were 5 women in my graduating class of a few hundred at the college of engineering ... only two were American citizens ... I was 33 years old and had a toddler watching ... that made it much easier to complete my degree while working full time ...

you're right I suppose

it was easy

every single day I got up, suited up and showed up ... even when babies had fevers and husbands hospitalized and parents hospitalized and parent teacher conferences and no clean clothes and whatever ... even if I hated my boss or my job or my coworkers ... i did the easy thing and sucked it up and waited until I found a better job

all i had to do was keep hustling for 25 solid years, making sure an entire family was paid for, clean and set every day

easy peasy

*********************************

guess what, OP - no one has it easy

if you think being a woman would have made your career as an auto mechanic easier ... maybe you are right ... maybe if you were a woman you would be so scared of never having such an opportunity again, you'd have done something differently. and kept your job until you found a better one

I'm a retard but you are the one who can find a job. Got it

Go sell cars or insurance. Apply for mechanical technician jobs at machinery companies like a john deer. Entry level mechanical technician jobs at defense contractors- raytheon, lockheed, etc.. they are hiring like crazy and pay 25$/hr to start.

Why do so many people insist on doing the same thing. I'm un-degreed and went from retail to IT to sales to engineering and now I make more than most people with masters degrees. Branch out, take a risk, and diversify yourself.
