No one is hiring
At this point it’s all about hoping you don’t get laid off. Companies are focused on doing more with less right now. If you ain’t been laid off yet then maybe you’re good since workforces already slimmed down at most big companies. They are hitting record numbers again in the stock market so layoffs should decrease now that the fat has been trimmed
I know there is another thread on here about it, but it remains that the military is one of the quickest ways to middle class in America. One of my homeboy that joined out of HS now owns 4 houses and is retiree at age 40. He being taking cruises all the time, going to the superbowl, living his best life. And he came from a poor family.
I live in Virginia. I know for a fact that they are in desperate need of Corrections Officers in the state. The state is so desperate that they are having to shut down prisons and move inmates because there are not enough COs available to keep them functioning. COs outnumbered 20 to 1. I know they're offering signing bonuses as an incentive. At this point, they will accept anybody without a criminal record. Im sure they are hiring in other states too. Problem is young people will quit the job after they finish basic training because of the rigorous schedule and restrictions (no cells phones in the facilities).
That's 2 fields that you can get into with only a HS diploma.
If you got a degree, the inner cities are desperate for teachers too. They will hire you immediately if you have any kind of degree, and just require you to get your certification in 2 years.
