What is your goal, Bushie?  What is a job that will be good enough that you won't immediately start looking for another job?  Is the goal to get a CADD job, and any other job you take will be an interim step towards getting that CADD job?


I would ideally like to have a CAD job.  Yet, everybody requires x years of experience.  How does one gain the experience if nobody wants to give you the experience?  I'll take any office job, but I'd really like a CAD job.

Bushie, just make sure you don't try to love on kids while on the job.

That would solve his problems once and for all, though.

A thought that occurred to me is that a pizza or Jimmy John's delivery job might be decent for Bushie. You can work part time with very flexible hours so he can't use the excuse of having to look for other jobs, it's mostly driving, and even he can walk up carrying that to someone's doorstep. And while the pay isn't great they can make good money with tips, my brother working at Jimmy John's delivery is probably making more than Bushie did at his last call center job with his tips included. And I don't know if Tulsa is the same but in Minneapolis many have the only qualification that you have a car and a driver's license.

But then I realized Bushie would probably get fired after a few weeks due to how unreliable he is and how he'd be constantly calling in because of his headache or stomachache. But hey, worth a few weeks pay.

As long as there's never an inch of snow, he'd be OK.

OK, but that doesn't answer my question.  If you take an office job, are you going to keep looking for a CAD job in your free time (and potentially quit that office job like you just did the call center, in order to spend more time looking)?

He'd just go to the customer's house the day beforehand to be on the safe side.

The issue there is still interaction with customers.

So far as the pizza delivery guy is concerned, way too many people.

Do pizza delivery guys spend 100% of their job delivering pizzas?  If it's a slow day with deliveries, then are they ever asked to actually participate in the making of the pizzas?  Because we are talking about someone who needs assistance for spaghetti.

I'm pretty sure he could avoid actually having to cook anything.

I just want to know if it's a CAD certificate or a CADD certificate.

It's CADD when you flunked with a D like Bushie did.

Certainly a good idea. I'm sure you'll find more employers in that field willing to consider you once you can actually prove your competence in CADD.

Still got an answering machine for the certificate lady.  I left a message explaining what I'm wanting, so now I have to wait some more.  It frustrates me because I called on this two weeks ago and got the same answering machine.  You all want answers and I want answers.  I'll call again Friday if I haven't heard anything.

The only answer I've gotten so far is from Russ Powers himself by email a week ago or so saying that I do have a certificate waiting, and to contact the person in charge.  He said the location of the certificate should not affect my employment.
