I have worked with people suffering from FAS before. Their impulse control problems made many jobs untenable. A desire to learn cannot overcome some disabilities.
even just holding a sign during road construction is going to pay more than standing behind a counter. basic carpentry isnt difficult and you dont need a lot of intelligence to do it (had a roommate once who did framing, guy was dumber than a box of dirt but he made a really nice wage).
there are a lot of jobs one could do. perhaps cruzie’s fault was that he had no ambition.
Please tell me where these “things” are, cause I’ve been unemployed and trying to find one of them for the past 4 months to no avail.
The only companies responding to my applications are for shitty fast food, retail, and call center jobs. I’m middle-aged and I’m so sick and tired of those gigs. I want something different that allows me to actually pay my bills on time for once.
Unfortunate, but they exist everywhere. Almost every company I know out here in STL pays starting 20 for even unskilled positions. I went first responder though and the Illinois side of STL has a premium rate on that anyway. Highest average of the whole state and desperate for hires.
I find office work mind numbing, disgusting in culture, and generally unsatisfying at the end of the day both philosophically and, as a powerlifter, physically.
“cruz” could have done many other things than work as a retail slave. many jobs dont require anything but muscles and a desire to learn.

impulse control is completely different from dumb. army likes Forrest Gump dumb, not Gomer Pyle dumb.

You can find literally any industrial town desperate for workers and offering at least 20 an hour for labor jobs.

why not go the firefighter route? my sister’s ex did that, he said that it was really rewarding.
I have friends that are, and I’m not opposed, I just enjoy what I do now
For instance?
