it just seems like it never gets any better. All I want is a job that pays me enough to live with a straight seven in the morning until 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening Monday through Friday schedule.
I just want an honest days pay for an honest day's work. I mean there are jobs out there like that, but when they advertise, my application is getting drowned out in the stack of like 200 other people who are competing for the same damn role. when the hell is the economy going to get better so I could finally get my damn foot in the door? how the hell am I supposed to buy a house when most jobs don't even pay enough to cover rent for a one bedroom apartment? when are we going to get those manufacturing jobs back and transition out of this stupid fucking low-wage service economy? I just keep seeing things getting more and more expensive and I really don't give a shit about all this political fucking theater when at the end of the day I'm still getting squeezed just as hard as I was under Joe Biden.
Haven't looked at the link but I will soon, but just a quick reply to your comment.
Over 70% of deaf people in America are unemployed or already working at jobs that pay less and isn't what they went to college for. Over 90% of deaf friends I knew from college, are either unemployed or working below minimum wage jobs (or commission based jobs) but they are struggling big time. One of my friends are working 3 jobs just to support his family on top of his wife already working at the school for the deaf as a math teacher, which doesn't pay well. He majored in Graphics Design and he's really, really good at what he does, yet no one wanted to hire him.
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if your friend's sister is also struggling to find a job, but I hope for her sake, she did get a job and pays well.
Yes there's one School for the Deaf which is 2 hours south of where I live but according to my wife who's from this state and other deaf people here, that school isn't a good school and has a lot of stigmas. A lot of people got hired then fired a few months later so I'd rather not take a chance working there.
Thanks and I will look at the link soon.
I worked with a deaf electrician, he was a great journeyman. Also worked with a colorblind electrician, that was kinda scary considering he'd have to ask the difference between purple and gray wires (high voltage).
