Hi guys i know i should not sell or trade it because they are rare but it is coming around that time where i need to start getting things for family.I know most of you would say save up but i do not get any money any other way other then fixing people's lawnmowers and landscaping but its winter and drought season so there are not very many people looking for it as for mowers same thing goes with winter no one has grass to cut. So i would like to see if anyone would trade my malibu for a couple of yard karts/mini bikes i figure i love minibikes and go karts my sister does and my girlfriend does so why not hit three birds with one stone right :)
I'm basically just testing the market and seeing what there is out there.:auto:

So my next question is what prevents you from getting a job ?
Click to expand...

Do you know how much the un employment rate is in california lol let alone in my city.I have filled out 42 applications to just about ever job i couple possibly get MCD,pet co,pet smart the Cinamark movie theaters both there are 2 both Wal-mart's the 99c store taco bell and dell taco the mall.I have tried applying over and over again my mom even helped at one point and filled out applications .She said the same thing it seems like every joe shmo is working we tried calling and asking if they had reviewed my application because in California that is how you get a job there are no walk in applications only online and you have to call and talk to them and still nothing. My father tells me i could have a job within a couple days of living out there at the old movie theaters that him and his brother worked at but its a little to much to pick up and move right now.
It have just gotten to the point that i am going to go to college instead .

Hehehe... jobs...

I've gone back to working on a 4 year degree because with a 2 year the best job I could find was loss prevention. I literally made the store more money than I was paid through item recovery and civil demand fines and still couldn't get a raise. I eventually decided fighting with the meth addicts and felons carrying handguns wasn't worth $11.50 an hour. I briefly considered law enforcement but realistically I'm not sure I could put up with that **** for the rest of my life.

Anyways... my recommendation would be that if you're not going to college you'll pretty much have to find a small skilled trade business where the person hiring knows how the work is performed so they're looking for skill/ability to learn over that piece of paper or previous work experience. Unfortunately those places are few and far anymore.

If you are a hard worker and eager to learn, I suggest Land Surveying.
I did it for 10 years with good pay. Call all the surveying companies in the Phone book and and in your area. Tell they you would like to apply for a rodman position.

They will train you and eventually you can go to school too. In Cali they would start you for probably; $12-15 as a rodman. (Entry position ) Rodman/ poleman holds the rod to mark points on a map.

It is a lot of fun if you love the outdoors. New job site everyday.

seriously check it out. If I decide to stop being a nurse, I can always fall back on Surveying.

i tried the army i went into pt with my Sargent at the time we trained for 6 months to get me ready .I was going to go for a 11B infantry man but they told me i would have to go to college first .There was leah she did not want me to go into the army because of the risk of not coming back . So i have come to the conclusion im either going to be a cop a fireman or Us coast guard its a lot less dangerous then the job i wanted to do in the army and there will always be a need for it .
