With taxes, I buy civilization.

I'm in a red county up against allegheny. It is pretty MAGA, but there is a good amount of progressive population. I bet some areas could be slipping blue. The county as a whole will take time.

Good place to live if you want land.

This is why when I had smaller kids I had a rule to how close to the road they could stand.

We waiting in a driveway and the bottom square of the driveway was off limits until the bus stopped. If they stepped forward, they weren't in the street.

Small kids don't get it, an adult needed to corral them and drivers need to be more careful. Poor girl.

Kia Forte. From the sound of it, the driver was just driving and the girl stepped off the curb. I don't think anyone is really at fault here.

Remember that there were 2 kids at that stop, a witness with them, and the driver who will never forget today ever. I feel sad for a lot of people.

In 2010, I worked customer service at PNC and made $9.85, and worked as a waiter on Saturday and Sunday. Then, I managed restaurants, making about $55k.

Now I make about that same money but sit at a desk and eat snacks and drink coffee. So much easier. I am learning golf so I can be management.

No, I won't give money or service to hate groups.

My pleasure. Best advice I can give to people is to plan for what job they want then learn what it takes to get there.

Also to choose a value for yourself that matches what you work for and don't let people rip you off.

Fast food management pays 40k to 60k. Why would you take your Bachelor's degree and work for less than that?

Also, those management jobs can be worthwhile options that you shouldn't be afraid of if you will work. Also, there are good labor jobs in water authorities, parks departments, county jobs, and apprenticeships. Good jobs exist, that's why the "nobody wants to work anymore" crowd always looks silly with what they offer.

The low end jobs are very saturated. If you graduate high in your class (which someone working 2 jobs already wasn't going to do) and go to a top tier school, you can go right into industry or one of the big 4 to work on your CPA.

CPA can make you bank. All the best entry level Jobs are very hard hours until you climb and usually burn you out. But they pay well and can be rewarding.

Everyone else starts as an accounting assistant, accounts payable clerk, or accounts receivable clerk. They pay usually about $14 here.

I have friends that did this and one became a staff accountant after about 10 years and now makes about $25/hour.

I am willing to tell people what I am worth and don't work anything for less than a set figure as a primary job and am willing to walk away from their "opportunities" because I don't do $14/hour with promises of future success.

When I got my BS in Accounting in 2010 I was getting $12 offers. I kept turning them down since I was making far more in food service as a server.

I keep getting told that you need to earn your way up and these are "starter jobs" but fuck that, I spent $50k getting a degree in between working 2 jobs. I earned real wages.

I work in an office now finally, but still take my $12/hr in fast food at my night job.

Also, free meals.

The mcdonalds in North Versailles pays $13. And I bet you have better hours.

Because then they don't get the refund that they keep after canceling the first.

I live near there. I don't hate it here. But there are better places to live in the area. It is hard to get anywhere, the food is all chain restaurants, the mall is okay.

Upside is most of what you need is there and houses are affordable. If you want east, it's alright. But if you have choices, I would go north of town.
