Job advice

have u been or graduated from college? if not, even just attending a two year institution can open up a whole new list of possible opportunities. plus, you may decide that you want to try a professional career and that could help you down the road as well.

I went to chattahoochee tech... guess that doesn't say much. i got about 50-70 credit hours completed. Finished all the core classes, and was halfway through with the automotive program when I started seriously doubting that I wanted to persue a CAREER in the automotive tech industry. I love cars, I love workin' on em, just really dont want to be doing that for a living for the rest of my life. So I'm kind of at a stand still right now in the college department.

Find something you like... you will have to start at the bottom of the barrell.. but aslong as you find a good company thats growing or been in bus awhile you can move up and make a decent salary.

Gotta market yourself.. is hard.. but not impossible... sometimes if you can market yourself, resume's mean nothing, im some cases.

But hey.. keep hustling.

THis is my but i was in the same boat as you. i wanted to find a job that i can get my foot in the door for a better chance at a better job. But i talked with one of my managers at work whos only 22 and makes 62K a year. He did just like me when i was 18 (19 now) got crappy jobs and made his way to management in each of them. Even if it was a fast food chain or what not. I work at sams and have been there jsut less than a year and already make 10.60-11.60 an hour with 38 hours a week. Well he did the same as me, did theys small time jobs until he graduated college with a degree in Business Management...and now hes a manager making 62k a year. And his goal in life his to be a GM of a Sam's Club. Sounds kinda stupid...but our current GM doesnt have any degrees been working since she graduated from high school and worked at sams for 15 years and now makes 132k a year +++ Bonuses. Well one of my managers i was talking to says the highest paid GM for any Sams in Georgia makes 160k a year with a degree plus a HUGE bonus.

So for me i am jsut sticking where i am. I work at a company that gives me good benefits(since i am full time) making 10.60-11.60 an hour through college. I have been there less than a year and have already work the membership position...front lines..hardlines...recevings...pretty much everywhere...even supervisior. Come Feb. i will be a Supervisor again...making 12.60-13.60(full time) then when i get my 2 yare degree i will hopefully be promoted to management, while still working on my 4 year degree.

So like everyone has been saying a good way to get your foot in the door is to go to a big name chain and company and start from the bottom of the barrel. Its working for me so far

But like i said this is just my
