COLI full of smart dudes . Yall really need to save up some bread or team up with your family and get your own license. Learn how to bill the government and just market yourselves. Stop looking for employment and start looking for opportunity. My OG always said "The only way a black man can get rich in this country is to pick up a ball, pick up a mic, or pick up a government contract." LOL
Quick example.
Disclaimer: No disrespect to anyone at all, but yall gotta peep...
Some people can say yo, I made $11.10 an hour ( according to homies numbers) or I made 10K last month as an NP (just using homie's mom as an example, no slight) but there are some people who think hmmmmm, someone needs this service and is willing to pay $20 an hour for a CNA. Bet, let me go make sure my paperwork tight (cause you know they regulate when you play in their game), find a CNA looking for a job, pay him that 11.10 an hour and then bill the government, etc. Now I'm making $8.90 an hour doing admin work. Better yet, let me hire an admin for $7.25 to do the work. Now I'm making $1.65 doing nothing. Now throw in that NP who I pay 10k for every month but bill insurance companies 20K a month and you'll see that it's all just a game. And as long as you stay focused, you can make things happen or just be part of the story.
