But consortium is a collection of schools with a commitment to enrolling underrepresented minorities, their scholarships cover full tuition and fees, you’d likely only have debt for living expenses (if you don’t have savings) and maybe trips/or academic treks that cost extra.

everyone is on their own journey. You’re likely younger than me since I guess I’m set on the coli lol, so 100 before 30 is doing great.

There's an ebay dropshipper who has 73,000 items listed

Man that is creative and smart AF. I really need to put all my focus into getting more money online.

Haven't done shyt since my Amazon seller account got closed back in like 2014, before it did though I was making like $700+ a month and that it was poor quality/little effort

So I’m likely taking the job offer I posted earlier, I’m walking away from three other offers in doing so, so I have used that to ask them for a sign on and more PTO, hope it works. :plzhappen:

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations and my availability for an interview in an email. I told her when I was available and asked for the salary range. She ignored the question.

So while I lament how over regulated California is on everything, I do love tha recruiters aren’t allowed to ask current/past salary and have to reveal (at least some part) of the range if you ask them.

Why is this? I've heard of so many businesses deciding not to set up shop in Cali because of the various regulations.

Congrats again on the job. I'm still sending in apps and man this stuff is annoying. Waiting 2 weeks just for a recruiter to say no

I moved into my new place. No roommates!

But I can't find the key to the old apartment. I think I dropped it when I was loading my boxes into the Uber.

Already got a bite from Microsoft. With talks of layoffs going round, might have to take this seriously.

I want to see which specific jobs my resume would attract. Basically like a matchmaker for my work experience and skills with online job postings. Doesn't have to be in my field, just genuinely curious which other industries would be interested since I've worked in a very niche oriented field my entire adult life. Any brehs have recommendations on a good site or manner of going about this?
