i am a college grad already have a degree and was working on a 2nd degree but i owe the school money. there are no options for me i swear ppl have suggested such **** for jobs things i will not do because it doesn't pay enough and i am putting up with bs. where's the fulfillment these days and the passion? now we need crummy jobs again just to survive.
experience is killing me and i will not volunteer for free work. i could use the new skills but i have to look at how i am gonna eat and yes i need an income to survive just like you. i am 26 yrs old and where i live always had crap jobs cuz of the cheat cost of living but has good jobs if you have a ton of experience. i wish ppl could come up with better answers and not some goobly gook for advice!
what r u suppose to do when u have less experience? i got my degree in IT no certs 2 yrs ago i dont have any contacts. my dad was in IT but i would never use him he has a bad employment record.

Hi ladytiger it sounds like your dealing with a lot. I'm asking myself that very same question for phlebotomy. So I completely understand where your coming from. I also understand just how hard, and degrading some of these jobs are. People do treat those who work in retail in ways that just aren't acceptable. That's why I try to share a few kind words with service workers at every opportunity.
Maybe you could gain the experience your looking for through a temp agency. Granted, it would probably be a modest sum of only $9-$12 hourly. But at the same time I hope that you would be treated kindly and respectfully.
