    I don't know if you live near the Decatur or the Gadsden plant , but I see where they are investing, in plant upgrades, at the Gadsden plant for producing some of their high profit tires. Because of lawsuits at Goodyear concerning pay, for female employees, it looks like you can get a good paying job, if you get an offer. If you do get an offer you need to go for it. You are very limited at chickfila for future advancement.

    My 2 cents worth for what it's worth - after many years in the work force.

    No offense intended, but your job with Chick sounds like a typical job for school kids looking for a little money, or even for retirees looking to supplement their retirement pay. Of course there are some possibilities for advancement, but they are usually few and far between.

    It sounds like a job with Goodyear would be with good pay, and the way the economy is right now, if I were in your shoes, I'd be looking at the potential that would be available there. The work will definitely be something that you are not used to, but remember, that the good jobs aren't ones that make you feel like you're still in school and hanging out with your friends.

    Best of luck to you, regardless if the Goodyear job pans out or not. If not, then just keep looking. You'll find a good job, or it will find you, when you least expect it.

    Go to school. Go to school. Go to school. These jobs you are looking at are probably not life time careers.

    School, especially college, isn't for everyone. Trust me. And it has nothing to do with intelligence.

    A career job at Goodyear could open up a lot of doors, go for it!

    Statistically speaking, education wins out over a career at a fast food restaurant or in a position that she is speaking of.

    I would much rather a young lady prepare for the future with an education than hope that doors are opened for her some how at goodyear.

    It all depends on how you define education, and I'll let it be with that comment.

    BTW, young lady? So education isn't for males, just women?

    Aren't you overlooking business schools, or schools that offer tech
    training for a 2yr degree in many trades?.You are right that everyone
    should not go for a 4yr college degree, but there are other options available.

    Isn't genny a girl? My apologies if she is not. I presumed that based on her name and some other things she said about some boys in her life!
    She was the OP, and my comments were directed to her. Like I mentioned fast food and good year...kind of making it specific?

    Trust me. Plenty of men need an education. Plenty.
