I might get a job at GoodYear, but I'm not sure.

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.

Hey ya'll, thanks for your input on everything! They haven't called (Goodyear) and I've been talking w/ my dad about it and even though it's a very well paying job I'm not 100% sure I wanna do it (even if they do call) which I doubt they will ;/ I just don't know if I could do the work unless they gave me an easy job that doesn't require lifting heavy HEAVY things, cause *yea, I am a girl* ;] lol and I'm only 105 pounds!!!

I really have thought about going to school....and I want to....but I don't know...it just seems and sounds hard. My mom tells me that I can do it and that I'd be glad I did it once I'm done and have a good job. She really wants me to go to college. I just don't know if I want to. I need to figure something out though. I've gotta either go to school or get a beter job for now. I can't keep working and not make anymore than I do. I'm glad I still live at home, cause if I was living on my own there's no way I'd be able to make it. I just need $$ to be able to put back and safe for the future incase I need anything or ever decide to move out (which I don't plan to until I get married) but still...it's nice to know you've got it, you know?

Oh well, we'll see

Is it possible to go to school and work a job even if part time? That's what my son did.

A friend of mine was hired here at Goodyear a couple of years ago but she's being laid off permanently on Feb. 1. She's in management, though.

I'm sorry about your friend. That's tough. my dad has been laid off several times. It's never any fun ;/

I'm sure I could probably do that. I could probably even stay at Chickfila and do that. They are pretty good at working around your schedule (sometimes)

You sound like you have talked yourself out of working for Goodyear even if they do want to hire you.

Do you know what kind of job it is, or are you just assuming it would involve heavy lifting? At least if they call you, you should go for the interview to get more info.

And there are many schooling options other than a 2 or 4 year school. I see tech schools advertising all the time on t.v. There's a lot - especially in the medical field: medical office, massage therapy, pharmacy technician, etc.

Sure - college or advanced schooling is "hard", but you have to want to better yourself. If you want an "easy" job, then you should probably stay where you are now, and the longer you wait to go to school or get a better job, the harder it will be.

Well..ok..guess what? My mom's friend is a Pharnacist and he needs more help. He told my mom he'd hire me to work for him full-time 9-5 Mon-Fri and 9-5 every other Saturday and I'd be off every Sunday. He would pay me $8 an hour. but...he needs me to know by the end of this week. He said if I don't take it he's got to hire someone else. Would I be crazy not to take it? Would you do that? Or do you think I'd be better off to stay at Chickfila and go to school for 2 years to be an X-ray tech?
