WTF does being a single mother have anything in finding a job? They don't ask you if your a single mother on job app.
I agree that being a single mother means more bills and shit, but finding a job come on...
Is a college degree important? Ask this woman.

She would be better off financially. She would be able to save more money and not have to lose her car. Single motherhood causes more early poverty than anything else.
TRUE
at the end of the day its about networking and experience, a company will rather higher someone that has a vast amount of experience over someone with a degree unfortunately...alot of companies are waking up and getting off that college degree shit, because for a long time they were hiring ppl wit degrees that had no experience and they couldnt get the job done...so now they want experience and ceritifications (in most industries)..and networking is very important, because if the manager of HR is ur girlfriend's aunt, who's gonna get the job? you or the dude wit 2 degrees grinding....sad to say it , but u probably will get it...thats called nepotism, a whole other story for another day....
and as far as the woman in the clip. she definitely gotta grind harder, most companies dont like to hire ppl wit kids, let alone a single mother...because they risk the possibility of not being punctual, due to their kids...but she definitely gotta grind harder
although i agree that women need to do a better job of planning pregnacies...
but i agree with the person above...her having a child should have nothing to do with finding a job
additionally she shouldnt have to go thru this alone...where is the childs father...he should pick up the slack...for the child's sake
if he had custody of his child he could
you know the odds of that happening
It is important but now just having a college degree is now equivalent to having a high school degree. So many people have it and it's no longer a standout on your resume like it was back in the 80's and 90's. Atl has one of the highest unemployment rates in the U.S. so I can feel the pain she is going through somewhat.
Did yall miss something in this clip,she said she has a degree and doesn't have a job?Then later in the clip the new anchor said how are you going to get to work and she say I don't know.You don't need to get to work because you don't have a job
Second she has a 12year old so maybe she had the kid in college or around college time.Where's the father,maybe he's lock up or dead I'am not going to assume that part,but the fact is they not together,then she lives with friends so the rent should be low,where's your family at(who knows?)People take the wrong turns in life no doubt but you have to be smarter nowadays.If you couldn't afford the truck you shouldn't of bought it.I can't feel sorry for her repo man is doing his job,and when she fiance the truck it say pay on such and such date if you miss 3-4months the repo man is coming.On another not I don't understand how a female can be broke,us guys are paying to take you out,pick you up burning up our gas,and they have a team of ninjas doing that,plus child support,get in clubs free,free drinks etc etc.this shit is crazy.I wish I could wake up and leave my wallet at home and don't have to worry about it

C/S .....PERIOD.
THE SHIT DOESNT SURPRISE ME AT ALL.
I USED TO DO IT ALL THE TIME AND SEE THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT NOW TIMES HAVE GOTTEN WORSE.
IN FACT I WAS CONSIDERING GOING BACK INTO `THE REPO BUSINESS.
BUT I TALKED TO ONE OF MY HOMIES AND HE TOLD
ME ITS GETTIN SO `BAD THE THE FINANCE COMPANIES ARE WORKIN SHIT OUT WITH PEOPLE INSTEAD OF REPOING
THE CARS CAUSE THEY CANT DO SHIT WITH THE CARS.
SAME AS THE HOUSING MARKET ONLY MORE INVENTORY.
C/S .....PERIOD.
Be Careful what you cosign TRU because some people misconstrue Success = No College as no schooling, training nor discipline at all....... and we certainly know that aint the case.
you nailed it. experience and networking is the key. GPA dont mean syht. I dont get the point why ppl brag about their GPA, unless their going to grad school. Me, i just make sure my syht isn't below a 2.0.
i had a hard time landing a internship through hard luck, but i have atleast 4 to 6 people with connections in my field to help me out. im not putting all my eggs in their baskets, but its a hell of an advantage. I even see frat ninjas getting jobs because of their brothers and syht. Connections will do you wonders
. there tons of people who got jobs through connections.
Again,
College = $$$ : Incorrect.
Hustle = $$$ : Correct
College = More Options (generally) : Correct
Hustle = Make Your Own Options : Correct
College = More Advancement : Sometimes
Hustle = Advance At Your Own Pace : Correct
You rely on your college degree to help feed you for the first 5 years after college if you don't know how to hustle and work for yourself. And this applies to everything from a BA, to the highest degrees.
The ultimately goal should not be crying about "I HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE AND I CAN'T FIND A JOB" .... sorry, I wouldn't hire someone like that. They believe because they have a degree, they're entitled to something or some sort of special treatment.

Why are yall acting like people with degree's have no work experience? A person with 5 years work experience AND a college degree will get hired over somebody with just experience. I don't know any job that is "Moving away from degree's" are you out your mind? It seems like people with NO degree are trying to justify not having one. If it were that easy to start a successful business we'd all be millionaires from one. Stop frontin. Everybody I know with a business ended up going BACK to school. Where do you think networking comes from? College. You act like the world doesn't need Doctors, Nurses, Biologists and all the other professions that require degree's. Not everybody wants to be a fake hustler running around trying to create idea after idea and business after business HOPING it will be successful.
HUSTLE simply means WORK HARD
if your customers aint got no money then you aint got no money.
you cant Advance at your own pace if the money aint coming in at a steady, predictable pace.
With the Right Degree, you can make tons of money, but most people go to college and treat that shit like its High School. They go just to graduate.
I dropped out of college and made money with Porn. Now that the Porn well is drying up, I wish I had stayed in College.
I always wanted to immigrate to the USA. I got in through a student visa.
I just recently got a contract to write television scripts. I made the contract through my girlfriend whom I met in college. My credentials were established through screenplays I wrote for class.
College has allowed me to position myself into situations where I can make money and live out my dreams. If I hadn't gone I'd still be working at a machine shop in Vancouver wondering where my next break might come from.
Oh yeah, there's also that whole degree thingy too....

Having a Bachelors degree is not the same as having a High School diploma. Those who say that are those who don't have a degree. A Bachelors degree can get you a job as a teacher to where you will make more money then the American income average. Can a High School diploma get you that same job and afford you that income? Heck the job that I have as a Chemical Operator requires you to have a 2 year Associates. No can do with just a high school diploma. Having a Bachelors degree does not say you will make more money, but does allow you OPPORTUNITY to find a better job and live easier. As I said above I'm sorry shorty is down on her luck, but she lost me when she said she has a child with no husband. Folks need to stop having kids when they aren't financially stable. I have a buddy now. Just married his GF of 7 years. Two months before the wedding she pops up pregnant. Quits her dam job. Nothing but dark days ahead of him. Paying for a house, baby, wife, and all their bills.
thats how it is....college degrees dont mean much
You don't have one do you.
are you a janitor in the air force? are you making good money?
fuck outta here with that military bullshit
*tearz*Caught me offguard w/ that response...
I don't know her situation so I am biting my tongue...but I am thinking she may be one of those types who feel they are too good for certain jobs...and may have "higher" expectations...or feels she is entitled to a job that allows her to live more comfortably...one thing about subbing is she won't get benefits...
Nobody is saying it has to do with her finding a job...they are saying she has more financial responsibilities that she obviously cannot manage possibly as a result of being a single parent...cats are being very ignorant...
She probably doesn't even know the baby fathers last name. Black women don't plan shit when it comes to having children. My ex gal just decided to have a baby with a dude she wasn't even with. She was already broke and struggling, now SHE'S REALLY BROKE and STRUGGLING.

Exactly 20K in debt and you have massive car payments on top of that...only person I feel sorry for is her child...some Black men and women need to start growing the fukk up...she prolly not even getting child support...
definately cosign...I remember when i first got out of college many moons ago, I had a hell of time getting my first job...I would ALWAYS get beat out over cats with work experience but no college...
If I could do it again I would found a descent job and went to college at night part time - definately would have paid cash instead of getting loans..
The argument is not about the job, but her complete family and financial situation.
If this woman had a husband that was earning an income, then sure times might be tough.....but I bet that she probably would not be getting her car REPO'D
We the men are here are speaking to the larger issue of women creating babies in NOT THE OPTIMUM situation. Since a woman does not want a man to tell her what to do with her body when she is pregnant.....then that women needs to accept responsibility for her decision to have/not have the child. Sure there are some deadbeat MEN out there.... But by and large too many women are choosing to have babies by men that aint shit on the front end.....and then want to blame HIM for not being shit on the back end. Shit happens, but by and large a woman SHOULD NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE A BABY BY A MAN THAT HAS NOT GIVEN HER AT LEAST AN ENGAGEMENT RING.
The women want to wear the single motherhood thing like a badge of honor......and say they don't need a man for shit. Well, don't complain when you are broke by yourself...and dodging the repo man.
Choices.
