If the econony is doing "so well", why can't I find jackshit in southern cali? Have a 2 yr degree. Haven't found anything steady ever. 1st job was temp work. Then after it was over, it took me a few months to find 3 jobs. 2 of which laid me off after a fucking week (low skilled general labor shit) and the other was just too far (took me 2.5 hrs to go and 2.5 hrs to come back so 5 hrs a day of transportation). I hated the job anyways, but I ended up quitting because of the transportation time.
Went to some interviews. Last week I went for a security job interview. Thought I did okay. Basic questions. Never contacted me back. For a piss easy security guard job. Unemployment rates are bullshit. How the fuck did I not get a security guard job? I mean, there were quite a few people getting interviewed..
So again, unemployment rates seem like a lie. If it's so easy to get a job, why are there so many people per job opening? How the fuck did I not get this easy as fuck job?
Now, skip 7 months from my last job. Have a few options. Will be called for 2 interviews. 1 for a city job. Have it on the 24th. Actually, this is a test, not an interview. The other, god damn, I was supposed to get an interview already, but it seems I'm going to have to wait anywhere between 1-4 more weeks for it.
I don't get either of those 2 jobs? I am absolutely FUCKED.
I will probably just say "fuck it" and just not work and finish the bachelors and become a teacher (which I wish I did from the very beginning since it's the easiest middle class job in existence. Disagree? Name me one middle class job easier than teaching. That's right, you can't).
Also, california has a 19% poverty rate. What a "booming" economy, huh?
Think about that. 1/5 people live in fucking poverty levels.
Nope. I dress in a pompous way in interviews (stupid dress shirts, etc.). I shave. Overweight? Keep coping. Socially awkward? Ya actually, but I definitely don't show it in interviews.
That projection though..
Eli Ward
Whats your degree for? Is it a meme degree?
Kevin Cruz
That's well above what they average. What company?
Leo Parker
Sort of. It's a trade degree. I fucked up. If I had never done it, I would have been dome with a bachelors I was doing already. This was by far the dumbest decision of my life.
I asked everyone I knew if they could hook me up. None could.
Michael Wilson
Not the other guy, but you DO come off as an arrogant prick. Starting a post off with "I have a Degree" makes you look like a dick.
But you'll just ignore this and stroke your cock about pwning those Yea Forums trolls, right?
Or don't like in a blue state where the morons gather.
Isaiah Hall
I have a four year degree and 2 years experience. It has taken me almost 6 months to land a 40k/yr job. I think unemployment statistics are false. It's much higher than they claim, and it's climbing. I've noticed that 18-25 dollar an hour jobs that used to require a college education are now high school diploma required. Funny, most employers care more if you don't drink or do drugs than if you're smart. Entry level jobs require MS degree and 5 years?
Something is up for sure. A two year degree never helped me 10 years ago either. It's a crap shoot.
Matthew Parker
Get better b8
Lucas Reyes
What trade?
Connor Young
In what field? Took me only 6 weeks to find a chem job with only a bachelor's degree and little lab experience starting at 45k.
Landon Lee
Geology, Experience as a hydrogeologist and geochemist
Lincoln Clark
Electrical. The bachelors I was doing was in business admin/econ. Honestly, I just want an easy cush teaching job now but fuck it. Depends how the next to job opportunities go.
Blake Lopez

Kayden Hernandez
Best of luck and kinda surprised always thought electricians were always needed, try maybe in public schools idk
Xavier Ward
Op is an idiot. You don't need a degree to get a GC license as an electrician. He could have worked as an apprentice and studied for the test. He would have hit the ground running once he got his license subcontracting or winning bids. Instead he let them waste his time and money.
Bentley Jenkins
>California There's your problem.
Samuel Stewart
They kind of are, but mostly journeymen. Most people just don't want to train from the ground up besides unions.
Zachary Reed
Its easier to get security work if you already have your guard card, you can get it online, you have a 2 year degree I'm sure you'll figure it put
It cost me no money but I do feel like an idiot for wasting time on this when I could have finished a bachelors by now had I not done this. Even more so since trade school isn't even easy and that effort amounts to shit. I only did it because I had met another electrician when I was at a CC that was saying "oh ya, I went to trade school. I recommend it. I personally just want to switch careers because it's not my thing".
Ya now I'm on the same spot.
Also, if you think it's easy to get an apprenticeship, you're full of it. If I can't even get one with my associates, imagine without one.
It really seems pointless to bother with this trade unless you happen to know people.
Samuel Wood
Could a felon with a double homicide on his sheets get a guard card?
Julian Martinez
I don't believe that for a second cholo. You sound like a liberal wastoid piece of trash making excuses.
Dylan Cook
Cholo?
And don't believe what exactly, retard?
Want me to post a pic of my useless associates?
Benjamin Diaz
Also, "liberal waste making excuses".
Are you a Trumptard?

Christopher Williams
Yep. Southern Cali is fun and chicks are tops but good luck affording a house.
I'm 34 with no college or skills. Got a felony from defendjng my wife (drunk bastard was an off duty cop so they used that.) After jail all i do is care for my 94 year oks grandmother for 600 a month. When she dies...i have nothing but my nurse wife to support me.

Justin Jenkins
14 years old. I didnt mean to shot my dad when he was beating and molesting my sister and I. The bullet went through and hit my uncle.
I want to get a liveable wage job so I can get my sister out if foster care. Of course i have to fins her first.

What don't you believe about my story, tard?
And bragging? You are retarded. I even called it worthless in the post you're referencing.
Mason Gutierrez
So try talking to the union. They get a lot of work and always need grunts to pull wire on big jobs. With your trade school, you have a leg up on untrained apprentices. Or go talk to independent contractors. The truth is, if they are busy they can make money on your labor.
Camden Turner
Id kill for some nurse wife ass
John Flores
How do you "sound mexican" on a board where you can't pick uo accents?
Holy shit >being this retarded And no, I'm not mexican
Don't blame you. She's amazing. No hold back in bed, doesn't give af if i never work again. Im just raising the kids and looking after my grams but it pissed me off i have no skill beyond home repairs and the sort. The only time I can go to a class is only 600pm or later amd only tuesdays amd. Thursdays.
Suuucks.

Your sister might be better off in foster care, you know. Not everyone in foster care gets molested. My sister actually loved it: No more get buttfucked by daddy.

That'd be nice but these idiots automatically resort to attacking anyone looking for help.
Carter Brown
Just say fuck it and work pipeline, garbage man, or literally any trade because none of that shit is worth your time bud
Ya.. I mean there is one union. I applied on lile august and I actually was supposed to have my interview already but it seems I have to wait 1-4 weeks for that. Everyone i know with the trade associates/cert got in so if I don't get in, I'll be salty.

Grayson Lee
I'm genuinely excited to get my associate faggot, lived in Cali all my life, was in the Army and has gotten every job I've ever interviewed for. You ever think its you and not the degree?
That is some rough shit, it is possible but you need a Cert of Rehabilitation, than you can get the card but that doesnt guarantee the job, I wish you the best of luck bro
Why would it be me? I do everything right in the interviews (extremely rare for me to even get 1).
I become a conformist in interviews "oh overtime? Yes, not a problem". Etc.
Eye contact. Mild smile. Answering questions well. Dressing like a nub.
Only so much I can do.
Jordan Murphy
Its fucked, I know out here employers can be real cunts, how vast is your work history? And how many pages is your resume?
Connor Morgan
We sound a lot alike OP and what a coincidence, we're in the same situation. I have a feeling the world wants people like us to die out.
Jackson Garcia
I've never had a job and it's about 3 pages. All in crayon.
Eli Gonzalez
My resume is pretty shit tbh. Only had one good job but it was temp. I stayed 3 or 4 months before the job was terminated.
After that, I went to school for a semester and summer. Applied in August for stuff. 2 general labor jobs laid me off in a week. Have no clue why. Last job I had was 5 hrs total of transportation so I quit.
So my resume actually looks terrible. 4 jobs, 2 ended through layoffs and 1 I quit because of transportation. That's really it.
Thomas Rodriguez
>i have no degree >83,000 a year banking job cuz i started as a teller and actually worked hard for 7 years.
Jaxon Wilson
Well if you're serious 3 pages is quiet a bit for somebody with no work history, I'd say keep the crayon because it shows how creative you are, all jokes aside employers hate looking through stacks of paper work, give clear cut short paragraphs otherwise they won't even bother reading it, and as soon as you've sent that shit, call the company ask to soeak to the manager and let them know "Hi I'm user, recently applied for the position and just wanted to introduce myself" and if you're feelin real gay you can ask them some questions but only if they aint busy my dude
ALSO REFERENCES, BITCHES LOVE REFERENCES, what part of Cali?

>I deserve a job
No you don't. Keep applying until you get one. Based on your apparent temperament I would reject you as an applicant as well. You strike me as the type of employee who would complain constantly.
Thats the pits, I used to live in anaheim when I was in high school, I'm up north now, jobs are alot more prevalent up here. My advice try and relocate, this place aint good to people who are just getting started, rents too high, jobs are too picky and your competition is so fucking grand that you are merely 1 shit particle in the septic tank called LA
Colton Phillips
1. 2. This is exactly why I straight up feel like starting a certain business with a person I know. So I don't have to deal with this pompous attitude. Just as you wouldn't want to hire me, I wouldn't want to work under someone like you.
Lincoln Murphy
Yep... I feel like going to where the buying power is at it's highest. Haven't looked at which state has the best buying power, but some places in general that onterest me is either texas or florida.

Well then, you might make it if you came to Texas and tried doing some man work for good pay and a much lower cost of living. Mr "I'm perfect and I ace my interviews y won't they call?!", however, would not
Blake Thompson
Not your personal army Yeah that basically sums it up, people get fired out here for having the "wrong" opinions
Blake Parker
Can confirm. I'm a supervisor at a roofing company and we cant find experienced guys to fill out positions. People from other construction companies tell me the same. Its not like the pay is shit, we start at $20/h, its just anyone that wants to be employed already is.
Kayden Richardson
What part of I got 2 jobs did you not get you illiterate cow fucking, dick smoking redneck? >man's work >Implying you arent a beta faggot living in Houstin
Justin Morris
Some things just come down to luck. Best advice in this thread right here: keep trying.
Well, let's look at some things here. Any degree is useless unless it's in the right field. What's your degree in? Second, you're in southern California. The economy is ran by liberals who stand to defy Trump and will do anything in their power to make him look bad, including destroying their economy.
Parker Parker
nah just passing the time at my 6 figure job. It gets kind of boring some days, you know? Wait, I guess you don't know.
Charles Powell
Probably because you're a white guy.
Noah Hughes
Almost same boat as you except no grams. Nurse wife’s are tops. Still doesn’t help the fact I feel like a fucking loser
Benjamin Adams
Maybe you just suck as a tradey. Honestly though, im in hvac, i was doing great, i was the lead tech, i oversaw the companies everyday operations, i managed my peers and directed the schedules, well i directed which employees to the specific projects. Unfortunately, a customer and i had a physical alter ation and i was dismissed. It had been difficult finding employeement, and finally i did, so from all my experience, i get to be a helper and start from the bottom again. I fuxkin hate my life. Fuck you
Jackson Roberts
Also roofing is fucking hard, fuck that shit I did it for a summer. Not OP
Lucas Evans
>implying you're somehow better off with your two part time min wage jobs I'd be angry at my state for turning things into such an explosive shitfest instead of expressing petty jealousy at someone who doesn't have to drive from his hotel job to his convenience store gig just to make rent on his studio appt in the ghetto >Implying you arent a beta faggot living in Houstin Midessa baby

You dipshit, list your buddies as bullshit business's that you've worked for. Especially since you're looking for a "construction" job so many upstart contractor's out there. Just tell your friend's to be looking out for a phone call and tell em something easy.
i.e. Tell your buddy Bill that he runs Wild Bill's Construction and you were his onsite whatever. He let you go because he was forced to downsize, shit like that. Obviously pick friends that are clever enough to think this shit up.
Chase Watson
Sorry to hear that.

Hey they're also fitizen chads and you're an incel okay sweety?
Blake Ward
Dude... I DID try getting into the union before going to trade school. I passed their test (name was online) yet they never called me for an interview. Fast forward.. I got the trade school credentials, and got moved to the interview (it takes lile a whole year to get the interview). I was actually supposed to get interviewed this month but it seems I have to wait at most 4 more weeks
So it's not "that easy".
Connor Young
>Trump is a retard though. Ya know he's the president, and you're posting on a Mexican burrito folding forum.

What is your job anyways? Rocket scientist engineer that practices nursing in space? Stop living in the clouds. I wouldn't be surprised if you're just a crazy homeless guy

Gavin Hernandez
if it hasent already been said. 2 year degrees mean shit. and your in SoCal... so yeah your pretty much fucked there. move to Montana and im sure you will find a nice job.
Also from my experience i will tell you this. honestly an associates degree means fuck all and even then a bachelor doesn't mean much except for specific fields... most employers will take someone with 2-4 years of experience over someone with 2-4 year degree and no experience.
Jayden Ramirez
I was agreeing with you that everyone bullshits about making six figures and is also buff and a chad. You misread it.
Btw, the rich chad is "at work" "bored' in Texas when it's almost 11 pm there. He's also been in this thread for hours.
Matthew Carter
construction sounds like a lucrative field in cali considering how every year half the state burns down.

Got two 4-year degrees and can't find work in Jersey. No, the degrees are not in gender studies and liberal arts; or african american studies, or any other bullshit.
Jayden Lewis
Your fuckin lazy, and a habitual liar
Jeremiah Richardson
I work the night shift. The trade off for making this much with no degree is that I get shitty hours sometimes. Also not as buff as I used to be. Got a bit out of shape one I advanced out of the grunt work. Probably should try to get /fit/ again. I can tell that you're really smart by how good you are with time zones.
Aiden Wright
This. Work at machine shop and can't find people to work even 40hours.
Nicholas Lee
thats because youre in cali faggot
Julian Hill
Yeah all those night shift six figure jobs. What are you a fucking nurse or bell boy you fat turd?
Justin Walker
Wait you mean I'm not on yahoo answers?
Easton Lee
Sounds like you don't like physical labor. FYI teaching and dealing with kids is not all that easy cush.

I'm just sitting on this two year degree in smelling my armpits over here, applying for menial labor positions that I feel should be gracious to have me, since I'm smarter than any of these cunts could ever imagine. Hell, I would be running these outfits if I felt like it. I'm just letting them keep the lion's share of profit because I like the hours better. You believe me, though. You don't find literally millions of people with the qualifications that I have, and even if you somehow could, all of them are vulgar idiots that wouldn't know how to sniff my taint. I should know, I'm the fucking best at taint sampling. I've got a two finger analysis with less that 0.2% margin of error. Yeah, don't say anything, just give me a call and let me know when I need to come in and fix up this dump for you, right? hahaha. I'm kidding. By the way, I took a donut of some losers desk on the way in. You should've seen the guys face. Think he was gonna cry. Ha! Later, fellas." >fucking bagged it
