You can major in BLAH if you're willing to learn something and show up on time and work diligently.

She spent some time at a publishing house in NYC as an unpaid intern.  That got her a pretty good job at a large real estate firm in NYC, CRBE.  She got into coding there.  She hated large companies and returned to Columbus and started with a smaller company that got bought by a huge company, and then left to where she is now.

Be light on your feet and willing to learn and adjust.  

Our oldest has an AS degree and is making $120,000. His work paid for the schooling.

Our youngest has an AS in electrical something or other and is making $80,000. The Marines paid for the schooling.

They are 31 and 28.

Electrical like EE or just something in the electronics world? (Which I know little to nothing about)

Also, I found myself in a talk with someone who was in the army who presented an interesting attitude. She explained that the military was very good at finding folks something to do, assuming they were mildly willing to get after it. Like they didn't give up on folks. I find it interesting organizationally to have a place that in one part winnows folks down and in another finds places for them. 

I'd make a comment about it being a government entity, but then again, a local base commander wanted to pretty up his house and ended up doing a bunch of damage to local businesses when a storm came, so a mixed bag. 

He's a journeyman electrician.

Very good. As I said in the other post, I bet things will break soon. If they broke for nursing, it's only a matter of time. It'll take some shifts in attitude and values, but money is king, and at some point, that will lead. 

Can't spell asshole without the ALE.

My degree is now called Biological Systems Engineering. That is so much more cool than what mine says.

mine says something about hard knocks

(KXAN) — Millions of American workers haven’t seen their $7.25 minimum wage increase in over 10 years, but a push by the Biden administration and Washington Democrats might give these workers a double raise.

As part of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, the federal minimum wage would increase to $15 by 2025. Many in Congress and elsewhere say that’s just too much.

Well, depending on where you live, it might not be enough.


https://myfox8.com/news/how-much-would-a-15-minimum-wage-really-be-worth/

A new map created by Business Insider shows how much the increase would actually be for minimum wage workers in each state. While the Economic Policy Institute reports about 32 million Americans would receive a raise overall, how many workers in each state might actually be getting less because of where they live?

Using information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the map figures how much $15 would translate to given the state’s “regional price parity,” or how expensive goods and services are compared to other states.

In Hawaii, the state with a 119.3 RPP — 19% higher than the national average — a $15 minimum wage would be the same as making $12.57 per hour. Meanwhile, a $15 minimum wage in Mississippi would actually feel like making $17.77 an hour — the highest on the map.

The $15 minimum wage in Texas would feel about $15, ranking in at $15.54 per hour, although that estimate is lower than most other southern states, except for Florida, where $15 per hour would feel more like $14.85.

So, a Big Mac will then cost $15 and a cup of coffee at Starbucks $10.

And the minimum wagers still couldn't afford them. And frankly, at $15, they might not even have jobs.

When we were driving down here last Fall we stopped at a McDonald's for a quick bite. There was nobody taking orders - it was electronic. Nobody taking money. Only one person behind the counter, handing out bags and drink cups.

McDonalds is going to get rid of people no matter the salary - might as well make them pay the people they do keep
