Ok...250/day works out to something like $31/h for an 8h day., or around $65'000/year job.
Not to say that not unrealistic, but the average person makes a bit more than half of that.
Here is a short list of jobs that pay over $30/h, and you will notice a lot of them are quite specialised.
> Only a prolapsed asshole would connect social media to work ethic and go even further to use it as a means for hiring or not hiring.
You can call them all the names your petulant schoolyard mind can come up with--it doesn't change that fact that most hiring managers do it.
My advice above is descriptive, not normative. You're free to ignore it. But sticking your head in the sand, no matter how indignantly, doesn't change the world in your favor.
Let's take a trip in the Way-Back Machine..
Unemployment in 1986 = 6.7%
(Today = 3.7%)
But, if you really want a better idea, how about the
Recent College Graduates Survey, 1985-1986: [United States] (ICPSR 6380)
And look at
Job prospects for new college grads abound, according to a new survey
You have to understand this is the best employment market since 1969. Listening to someone complain how bad it is, to any of us who know how good it is, is just very funny.
According to this study, it's usually good. I would say it's one of those "why not" type of things as it can usually only help you.
Keep it short, talk about 1 or 2 points they mentioned in the interview so it lets them recall your interview, and don't come off as desperate and you should be good to go!
Here's the full job description from the Career Builder website:

At first, I thought it might be a full time job as an accounting clerk or Accounts Payable gig. But this is for an actual accountant according to the posting, wow.
What i found
I mean there is business wo/men who have b/million dollar companies with just a highschool degree

The first listing here says that exact thing. You have a Sec+, that's the only thing required to get a clearance. Well that and you have to pass the investigation.
It sounds like an MSP would be a good place to start but I have no idea how to find those jobs.
A company a couple of my buddies work for have been looking for lower level folks to do tier 1 for their NOC, no clearance required. They're not looking for anybody at the moment but if I hear something I'll let you know.
> This individual will be responsible for recruiting, hiring and training a sales team that will be responsible for Sales for our telecommunications and technology sectors.
I'd be leery, looks like a pyramid/MLM scheme to me.
But just be smart & follow your gut.
I didn’t think it was something I needed sources for. Thought it was kind of a common knowledge. I currently am not in front of my computer so I can’t put in the research but did a quick google on my phone and clicked on the first site. The top 6 are probably more male dominant than what I mentioned before.

New teacher, this is my second year, but when thinking about opportunities outside of education I thought about corporate trainer jobs as my fall back.
Here’s this little guide
Simple Job Search that took me a few minutes to see what jobs are in the most demand in the US according to Career Builder.
CEH - 495 jobs using CEH keyword.
OSCP - 166 jobs using OSCP keyword
Masters - 5,000 jobs using Master in Cyber keyword.
Looks like having a Masters gives you the greatest amount of opportunity, it will also require the most effort to accomplish.
Second is the CEH and last is OSCP. Both would be easier to obtain than a Masters.
This by no means should be a ultimate decision making metric and by no means scientific research.
There are these things called discrimination lawsuits that occur occasionally in instances like this. Additionally, some states do prohibit this.
And on top of that, it's just terrible business practice.
I can almost guarantee your employer wouldn't want you asking about that because it makes you a liability and a discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen. It only takes one person feeling they were wronged to start bleeding your company, and I guarantee they care more about that money than you.
Regardless of your beliefs, it's not the time or place to gatekeep based on factors entirely unrelated to job performance.

From what i've seen, dice does not advertise elsewhere, for a good reason.
When a company advertises, everyone... and i mean EVERYONE, sees it and knows about it. This means they get a flood of every job seeker, including the untrained and untalented. The "low hanging fruit" so to speak. This is great for companies like best buy, walmart, call centers and data entry operators. They don't need the educated, trained and talented. They essentially assume their applicants "know nothing" and are geared to train new employees to do everything.
Dice and a few others on the other hand are looking for the educated. They prefer people with degrees. People that have put in the time, the effort to learn something. Their Customers (the employers needing talented people) are paying for this service, usually quite a bit more than the others. They expect more and they offer salaries to prove it.
PS - I just thought of another site with "better" job listings. Careerbuilder.
Also, Both dice and careerbuilder let you set up scheduled automated searches. Want an email every Tuesday of new job postings with specific keywords? Or new job listings in a particular city? Do it, just a few minutes and BOOM weekly (or daily, or alternate days - whatever, YOU make the schedule) emails to you. Companies and headhunters use this technology to scan thousands of resumes daily. Take advantage of that power and do it back to them!
You have that C.S. degree, so I assume you know what computers & software can do. Now make those computers work for YOU. You've earned it.
If you removed minimum wage work, having a high school diploma only would seem a lot better too. Kinda weird thing to say about removing a portion of the data making it look closer to your point, but hey, do what ya gotta do.
Yes, I understand that having a college degree on average leads to higher pay. That's why I said so previously. Not sure why you are arguing when you agree that your decision wasn't prudent.
And yeah, I'm not surprised people make more than an entry level salary in my field.
Here are a few job listings I saw in Chicago of the kind I'll aspire to do after a few more years.
Since you say you're only arguing about extraneous classes in degrees, and the high costs of some colleges, it's unclear why you're arguing about IT salaries or asking for my anecdotal evidence. Then again, maybe that's just high school level arguments?

Your time on social media is more valuable than you might think, or better yet, what your next employer might evaluate. Your online presence gives hiring managers more evidence of your work, and during the pandemic, how we engage in digital environments matters more as students, coworkers, and other "audiences" are isolating their attention on device screens.
Employers probably won't ask candidates about their social media activity in an interview because of the legal risks involving social media screening. But they'll likely take a peek at candidates' profiles at some point before a hiring decision. As many as 70 percent of employers, <strong>according to a CareerBuilder survey</strong>, have done this, and more than half found something that prevented them from hiring the candidate.

It cost me a lot because i sacrificed a lot to make it happen. Its not like i just out of the blue decided tk do something that big. I saved for 2 years to make it happen because i saw it needed to happen.
Just because something was established as one thing in the past and has changed as the times have changed is literally a fact of life. Coca-Cola was started as a medicine and is now a world wide soft drink. Things, specifically purposes, change over time.
Minimum wage is one such thing. If you truly believe someone working a cash register, greeting people at a supermarket front door, stocking shelves deserves as much pay as someone who works EMS, i really dont know what to tell you other than, "someone who has learned a skill and applies it professionally deserves more than someone who has not gained such skill/experience."
Here are some jobs that pay approx. $15/hr. Some are much more but its still a list. They have one thing in common. You need to have learned a skill through experience or school/training to work these jobs.
UPS is hiring for the sunrise shift at their warehouse in Vancouver.
First, calm down and take a deep breath. Everything will settle if you give it some time.
Lost my job too, took a month off and did some things that really boosted my mental health. Did a hiking, jogging, bike riding. After a month started looking for a job. Researched lots of websites like Indeed, careerbuilder etc. After some time received some positive emails and found a job. More info regarding the website I found my job. So it is up to you regarding your motivation, mental stance and the amount of time you will spend searching the job you want.
Fine. Here
“The average Child Care Center Director (Hosp. Op.) salary in Georgia is $78,508 as of May 28, 2020, but the range typically falls between $70,971 and $91,292.”
This is for Georgia and it is listed as the childcare director, which one who runs a daycare out of their home or facility they run for that matter would be. You should research a little more apparently since correct math isn’t a good enough source.
Lol find 1 source at all? Or do you not have any?
Here are the survey results by the way.
https://www.careerbuilder.com/advice/stress-is-part-of-the-job-for-health-care-workers

Big sad for you.
Listen, I'm only a year older than you, but I know what it feels like to have your life fall apart. One thing I have to say is that no matter what you need to take care of yourself and do what's best for you, cause there's no guarantee anyone else in this world is going to do that for you. keep moving forward and doing things to improve your life because things will only get worse if you don't.
I'm currently trying to figure everything out myself and I've been using careerbuilder.com to look for a job if that helps. Just be sure to wear proper protection and take proper precautions when you eventually get one, wouldn't want to bring the virus back home to your sis. Maybe see if amazon's hiring anywhere near you cause they pay $15 per hour. I'd save up as much money as you can, half of your checks if that's possible.
If you live in the US you could use the US Department of Urban Development to look for a apartment once you have enough cash. Or see if your state has a local website for housing. And be sure to take care of your mental health, it's hard to do anything when you're depressed. Look into getting a therapist if you need one. Ask your sister to help and support you in any way she can. Stay strong, it's going to be hard but don't lose hope because realistically, things can get better for you, but it's up to you to make things better.
To fix your lack of friends issue, have you heard of meetup.com (they're worldwide)? Enter in your location, join a few groups that share your interests and go. Best case, you meet people you connect and want to hang out with. Worst case, you get out of the house for a few hours and do an activity you enjoy with random strangers. Either way, you win!
As for your minimum wage purgatory, it doesn't have to be forever if you're willing to learn some skills- and you don't have to go back to school to do it. Lots of marketable skills can be learned online via Udemy courses, Youtube videos and the like. I think your problem may be that you just don't know what you like to do, so you feel stuck. To un-stick yourself, just start trying new things. What kinds of things do you like to do for fun? What are you naturally good at? Do you like helping people? Are you good at showing people how to do things? Maybe there's a job you'd like in education or sales. Do you like to draw and make crazy costumes for gaming characters? Maybe you'd do well creating outfits/accessories for avatars and selling them as in-game items online. The point is, once you know what you like, you can start applying for better opportunities (or creating opportunities of your own!), while learning new skills that employers want and will pay for. If you're doing something fun, it won't feel boring like school, and you'll be much more likely to stick with it.
If you're not up for learning any new skills yet, here are some job options that might inspire you now. Hope this helps! https://www.careerbuilder.com/advice/20-jobs-you-can-get-with-a-high-school-diploma
Why do you think the number has gone up so much even before Trump took office?
From 40% in 2012 to 49% in 2014 and 61% in 2015.
But wait! Here's a different study from 2019 that finds while a majority (51%) can't miss more than 1 paycheck, only 31% of Americans said they could not miss any paychecks before dipping into savings.
Wow, Trump has been amazing for the US economy! From 78% that can't handle missing a paycheck (I assuming at all, not just that they'd need to dip into savings, since that's how you framed this) down to only 31% in only 2 years with Trump in the Whitehouse! And at least some of those 31% would have savings to dip into if needed.
That's a nice picture, but more likely is that careerbuilder.com is more interested in clickbait article titles than being a research organization and made a crap study.

Voting up/down means “This adds/detracts from the conversation.” Yes, I have downvoted your comments here, as you have nothing of value to add.
Voting manipulation means having multiple accounts or going through social media to gather downvotes. Myself and my circle give absolutely zero fucks about your karma, and if you are having problems with getting upvotes, maybe you should consider yourself as the common denominator.
these aren’t normally thought of as labor intensive Interesting enough most general labor jobs are around 15 an hour. Trade skilled jobs require an apprenticeship period before commanding $30. Finishing an apprenticeship is an achievement; not mindless labor
I kinda think that labor intensive jobs bringing 65k+ is a myth. Unless you’re working for UPS.
Be honest but don't go into too much detail. It will come out anyways.
For the first, something like "“I learned a lot in that role, but I was looking for an opportunity that provides more challenges as I continue developing my skills and abilities.”
Frame it positively but keep it succinct. For the second, be honest but don't bash the employer. Just say you learned the importance of due diligence and communication when it comes to maintaining equipment and expectations of such maintenance or something like that.
This is a good article to reference. It's where I got the first suggestion
For the second, I'd reference here.
Best of luck. I know it's tough.
https://ged.com/ 🙄 wowie look at that. “General Education Diploma.” A dictionary definition is not a sufficient source of information on any subject. You will never capture the nuances and context with a dictionary definition alone.
https://www.careerbuilder.com/advice/high-school-diplomas-vs-geds-do-employers-care “Having a GED is preferable to no high school degree at all. And in terms of educational qualifications, employers generally consider GEDs and typical diplomas to be equivalent.
“The distinction between a high school diploma and a GED in the eyes of an employer is very negligible. Most employers do not in fact care whether a candidate has a high school diploma or a GED unless there is a relevant reason to,” says Nate Masterson, director of HR for Maple Holistics.”
Further reading confirms that the only real difference is the fact that some people— like you— are misinformed and believe that a GED is “cheating” or not as good as attending high school for all 4 years, despite all evidence of the contrary.
Ironically, the most important thing I ever learned in school was how to do research properly and pick out reputable, unbiased, comprehensive sources of information. You must have been absent that day.
Thisay be a bit old, but it agrees with my gut reaction that asking location prior to hiring can be seen as discriminatory. https://www.careerbuilder.com/share/aboutus/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?sd=4%2F9%2F2015&id=pr877&ed=12%2F31%2F2015
I'm literally giving you examples of multiple people who have had different experiences. When I worked, there were regulars that everyone knew. 40-60 a night isn't shit pay when that adds up to 1000 in cash alone each month, on top of a paycheck. And notice how I said "on slow nights". Good nights, it was at least $100 cash tips. It's not the highest paying job, but I was stunting ok folks making minimum wage by all means. It won't rival most white collar jobs, but for a job that requires no qualifications it pays very well.
Again, your experience directly negates anything I've ever experienced or heard. The only people getting fucked are the third party drivers, and only sometimes. If you look it up, average delivery drivers make at least $31k a year, or about $14 an hour to $16 an hour.
I talk my skills up because I backed them up, too. If you think there isn't much you can do for customer service with deliveries, that's because you were shit at your job. I did stuff like memorizing gate codes, knowing which apartment entrances were close to which room numbers so no time was wasted, always used polite and courteous language (whereas most drivers just say "here you go" and leave), made small chat with customers that were chatty, called in advance so that customers exited their buildings just as I arrived, was one of the only people that would actually ensure food didn't fall over or spill, would remember which customers liked which extras so they didn't even have to ask for them... I can go on.

After a few Years you can become a Journeyman Electrician and make $30-$45 an hour
Continue up the line become a Master ELectrician save up start your own company and make lots of money. Just takes a some time and dedication.
You went through all of that to completely miss the point. Don't get so hung up on the use of the word "better". More and more, you need those the degrees to even get through the door. Employers ask for them and therefore they are required.

>Do we have fewer well-paid jobs today than we did in the past? If so, what's your source for this claim?
This seems to be centerpiece of this argument. I agree with you that there is still a healthy demand for labor and that job openings as a whole look just fine.
https://www.careerbuilder.com/advice/what-ever-happened-to-middle-wage-jobs
Here are a couple of links detailing concern over middle-wage or middle-skill jobs and how their growth is estimated to be significantly less than low and high-wage jobs. To detail some of the loss that occurred in the 2000s, here is an article from 2008.
>That's not due to there being fewer jobs, it's more of a choice on the part of the people who aren't looking for a job.
Totally agree. However, what is the significance of fewer people looking for a job? Why does it appear that a large number of prime working age Americans chose to leave the labor market?
The loss of these middle-wage jobs is far more impactful on the middle class than the overall supply of jobs. Let me know if my sources are not sufficient!
Ok this is just wrong. Now for me to prove its wrong lets set the ground rules. He's stating that the ratio of $40 (2 donations of $20) at which a person that earns $25/hour is higher than Jeff Bezos' ratio of 0.000906 (same as 0.0906%). Let's assume Bezos' donation ratio is correct bc I don't want to look that up.
$25/hr at 40hours a week, for 52 weeks is $52,000 a year (gross income) not including benefits, paid time off etc. for simplicity sakes and every company varies.
$40/$52,000 is 0.000769 (same as 0.0769%)
Compare that to Bezos' 0.000906 (0.0906%)
Conclusion, Bezos' is donating a higher ratio to charity.
Now, to some points other people have pointed out, no one BUT Bezos' has a right to decide what he should do with his money. And who's to say those GoFundMe's are to a good cause? Bezos' donates to charities with a good cause
I'm not here to judge whether or not he's donating enough or not, I'm just here to correct the math.
Bezos isn't forced to donate, nor are you. You are choosing to donate money out of your own generosity. One should not be criticized by the amount you donate or give away, but by the motives of doing so. Judging people by how much money they give away is pretty shallow if you ask me.
Prices rise, customers don't eat out as much, restaurants hire less waitstaff and then you're back to square one.
Also, being a server is a low skill, low barrier to entry position. The supply of people willing and able to do the job keeps the salary down. It will not be paid the same as a forensic science technician or other skilled professions.
"Capricorn and Leo signs are the most likely to hold an upper management position (VP and above) with more Capricorns in C-level jobs. The Aries sign is the most likely to work in middle management while Aquarius is the most likely to hold an entry-level job."
All but four of the jobs listed on this site listed below require no prior experience. The four that require experience requires less than 5 years.
Moreover you have to get a first job to get experience and that first job will come much easer if you have a high school diploma.
If an employer has a choice between two candidates and one has a diploma and does not who do you think they will hire?
BTW most community college offer courses in the trades and getting a scholarship or free finical assistance is very very easy. But you ignored that because you have a victim mentality. And with that I am finished with you.

Is there a way to move up in the company would be a good first question to ask. I also found this for this perusal, but it might be low effort on my part.
I do have some advice related to the question.
Think about your skills, not your title. What I read was:
Manager position in a large company.
Sales experience. Emphasize how great you are at sales.
Great with people. Leader.
Oh-Communication jobs are often pretty worthwhile too and you'd be qualified for things like that.
Hopefully someone will have better advice on the advice sub, but I myself am a retail dept manager and I'll probably be here for a while.
I wish you the best on your journey out of retail.

Personally I do clinical work remotely through my own business so technically I'm independent contracting, but there's quite a bit of development available to me depending on what you mean (management positions, increased salary, etc.). I've been offered a job where I'll move away from clinical work and purely do clinical supervision and mentoring, and while the pay isn't significantly better than what I'm getting now, the additional planning and paperwork is far less.
I got that salary from the first result on this page:
My point is less to take that kind of job, and more that one can set things up so they can live where they want (for me, Vietnam) while being financially independent of the local wages.

Affirmative action exists because of white privilege. AA doesn't seek to give minorities a supreme advantage, but parity. In which case, for the most part, it's equal. In any case, the study showing white names getting more responses destroys any advantage that might bring, regardless.
It wasn't any kind of assertion to any truth , therefore you criticism can't stand. But the the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence. Moreover, I've provided evidence of the discrepancies of race in employment. It seems logical to me that it would be mirrored in other places like the deep south.
