No GED? No Job!

There are very few jobs for those without GED's. Those that are, are not in the medium or high-incomebrackets. I am not going to kid you that you can make 100s or 1000s of dollars more with a GED or high school diploma. Becuase that is a joke. But, you can work at more of a variety of jobs and use more of your skills. So, while you are waiting, or working that "entry-level" job, get your GED!
 

Consider a job as a way to learn more and grow. If the job is “Dead End”, unless this is all you can do, or if this is all God requires of you, and you can live comfortably and give back to church and/or community, then go for it. But, if washing dishes for the rest of your life is not for you and you think there is more, then look over your skill list.  On the right hand side of the paper make a list of jobs that come to your mind that you would like to do for the rest of your life. Now, number the jobs and put the number of the job next to the skills you have to do the job.

 

Now, if you are a Christian, pray over that job that it is the one that God is leading you to and that you will be happy in it for the rest of your life. If you are not a Christian, think over this job and see if you think you will be happy in it for the rest of your life.

 

If the answer is yes, continue. If no, then check out the job with the next amount of numbers by the skills. If everything is no, then maybe there is something you would like to do that you did not list having any skills for. If this is your decision, then you will have to acquire skills through education, training, (sometimes on the job) or you did not list all of your skills. Remember, I said to be honest with you.

 

Even if you have listed many skills to achieve success in a given field, it is possible that you need some further education or job training. With this in mind, while you are waiting for that “Dream job”, it might be good to look for areas where you could brush up, take courses to give you the edge, or look for jobs with on-the-job training in your field.

 

Some suggested local colleges and technical schools that might help are listed here with the page to grants to help pay for your education and in some cases your living expenses while learning:

But, it cannot be shown here due to technical problems.

 

I will not give any support to the integrity of any of the above information. I am the first female graduate of ICBC back when it was International Broadcasting School. My suggestion to you is not to believe any of the technical school hype as to getting or guaranteeing a job. They did get me a job at a radio station that had nothing to do with broadcasting and lasted only a month. However, through contact made at the station I ended up being a station manager for two radio stations in the Dayton area for several years.

 

Now, that you have looked over your skills, listed the jobs you would like to have and have found the job you are most skilled for – let’s see if there is something out there.
