I was making good money for someone with just a high school diploma. 600-700 bucks a week depending on my over time. 600 a week being with none. But as luck would have it I got laid off after being there for slightly over a year. Saved most of the money I had made for a rainy day but that doesn't last long when you have bills constantly rolling in each week. So i got a job at a gas station to help some money of what I could keep coming in. After 7 months the whole staff except for the store manager of course was no longer needed. This gas station group does this about once a year and a half. Anyways, right now I can not find a job. It is not because I'm to proud to flip burgers if I have to, but more because there is literally nothing out here where I live. Unless of course, you have 5 or more plus years of experience and 4+ years of college. Like right now my mom is all that's working. she makes about 1200-1300 every two weeks. Barely enough to keep our heads above water. But we also suffer because we go hungry. We have nothing to eat here. Today we had to scrape up a couple of dollars for her to eat at work. But, just to say everything is not as bad as it seems is a joke. I know we don't have it near as bad as some people but still. Some people have it worse. Everything is not a perfect as the leaders of this country want everyone to think. Until people realize there has to be a solution to this problem nothing will be fixed or changed. Not a quick fix, not a panic move, none of that bullshit. Because as we are seeing now, that isn't working.
