Now for anyone who has seen me strugging or is still struggling and actually replied through my messages here now know I have a great job at Chase.

This bugs me. My girlfriends (who hasnt worked a day in her life) family has connections deep in the roots of GA I suppose. She has been hired as a secretary, f/t at this law firm in downtown Atlanta and is clearing $24 an hour.

Now I'm not complaining as she's my lady and I'm getting something outta this, but the point is, this is her FIRST job and the reasoning why she has it is due to her parents connections. I personally get tired of it but I'm glad for her. This just fully confirms that the "who u know" is more important than your skillset.

I worked hard for this position at Chase that provides me with decent income, but shes killing me a far as rates go and its her first AND shes younger than me. Networking seems to be the key, I hope to setup my children for an easy transition (somewhat) to the working life.
