#job-search #jobs #full-time
Where are some places that I can apply to that are hiring full time positions for at least $15 an hour? I have my high school diploma and part of a physics BS and psychology minor. I'm interested in working with people whether they be customers or co-workers.

Hi Scott,
You've mentioned liking to work with people, combined with the subjects you were studying, I'm wondering if you've thought about exploring becoming a nursing assistant. Currently the demand in this profession is very high with additional income opportunities for individuals willing to work alternative shifts. To become a CNA, students typically complete a CNA training program and pass the state's certification exam. CNA programs are lower cost and quicker to complete than LPN and RN training, making the CNA role an appealing entry point to a job in the nursing field. The training programs can be quick (4-12 weeks depending on frequently you want to take classes) and oftentimes nursing homes or local organizations, like the Red Cross, will offer free training programs. Also, there can be opportunities to start working just a few weeks into the program. For example, a friend of mine completed her CNA about a year ago through one such program. The program was free (she just had to pay $100 for her course materials and the exam fee). The program was offered through a nursing home. While she was completing the course she worked in the nursing home's kitchen. When she completed her program and got her license (this took about 8 weeks) she moved into a nursing position. She is earning more than $15/hour working a night shift. Once you have your CNA you help sick, disabled or dependent individuals in a variety of settings such as in their homes or at residential nursing/healthcare facilities.

Seeing that you live in Rochester, have you submitted your application to the university system? I am thinking about Strong Memorial Hospital, RIT, and U of R, for a staff job. These are just three big employers in the area I can think of from when I went to school there (I went to MCC, UR, and RIT when I lived there).
If you are looking for a career, I would consider looking into the trade unions like IBEW and become a trades apprentice. This will match your pay expectation and grow your career.

Don't let money be a factor but passion. When looking for high-paying jobs employers are looking for education, experience, and also connections. The world is changing a lot but look at professional organizations in your field, your school for resources, and that a lot of roles exist but it is finding them.
So the problem with that is my passion revolves mostly around teaching, psychology, science, and math. Unfortunately, you usually need a degree of some kind to do any of that. As of right now, I basically failed out of college and I don't know what to do with myself. So, as unfortunate as it is, I feel as though money needs to be a factor so that I can start paying off student loans, eat food, and have somewhere to live. Something I've been considering is streaming, but you can't just pick up streaming. The idea for me is that I'd have a full time job and then stream on the side and hopefully build up enough viewership to make streaming my full time job. I have no idea if it's a good idea but for the time being, I'm looking for a job that can sustain me for a bit while I can figure it out.
