Q&A: What jobs should I be able to get?
Question by yellinatthey: What jobs should I be able to get?
I am 18 years ancient and a recent high teach graduate in Oklahoma. I am having some distress deciding what job I want. I know that not having a college education or certifications of any kind leaves me restricted with a excellent paying job. I was interested in working at Wal-Mart but they pay is only $ 6.65 per hour and I would only be working part-time (thats where they place me.) I have some family members that work in Nursing Homes and make $ 9.50 per hour (they paid $ 575) to get their certification. I don’t know how well I would be in that position but I really want the excellent pay and it only takes 10 days to get your certification. I know that working in a nursing home requires hard work and you have to be really caring (which I am) but I am unsure if I should just be guaranteed the $ 6.65/hour at Wal-Mart or if I should get my CNA license at this time in my life. *I really want to start saving up to go out into my own apartment.* If not, what places are excellent to work that pay well?

Well, I have to say that it is a pretty much a judgment call on your part. But if you are not in a rush to make a lot of money I would say take the job that gives you the opportunity to study.
There are now online courses, which will enable you to get a degree in 2 years while you work. An education is a long-term investment. It will place you in excellent jobs. It will also give you a lot of self-respect. Money is not everything. There are learning years and earning years. It is generally not a excellent thought to prioritize work before education. It is like putting the cart before the horse.
Peace and blessings!

Don’t stress out! I spent 5 years in college getting paid minimum wage before I found my dream job! I worked at Walmart, and it is not that terrible! I started as a cashier making 7.50 an hour f/t. The benefits were fantastic and you get raises nearly every 3 months. If you stick with them, you can get promotions a lot too. But I went. As far as being a CNA… I work in a nursing home as an occupational therapy assistant. I work with a lot of CNSs and have worked with more in my past internships. in my opinion there are only 2 types of CNA’s- those who are committed to their jobs and like their patients, and those who whine and moan every second and despise their job. There is no in between! You don’t get paid well, work long hours and literally have to deal with all the crap. Reckon long and hard and shadow a few CNAs before you choose. If you do want a fun job in the nursing home, try out out being a therapy aide. Just need high teach diploma. Ours get paid 8-13 an hour and like thir jobs!
