  Why do people stay at low paying jobs a long time?

  I'm referring mainly to women who work as hairstylists, medical assistants, bank tellers, accounting clerks, restaurant servers, retail supervisors, etc. The list goes on.

  As a high school senior, I feel like there's *so* much pressure to "support a family" even as a girl. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for a career, but don't want a stressful corporate job. My teachers make it seem like my life is over if I don't get a bachelor's degree and make at least 40k-50k/year. (Quite honestly, I don't want to get married/have kids for a long time. But people say I'll never make it as a single wage earner unless I'm in a skilled profession.)

  Is life really as hard as people say? How does everyone else manage to get by if they don't have high paying jobs? There's no way women in low wage industries like I mentioned actually make 40k+/year. ...Am I missing something?

  If you have a degree and apply to a job that doesn't require it; do you get paid more?

  For example: 2 people apply and get hired for the same job; 1 person has a bachelor's degree (or associate's), the other person has a high school diploma.

  The job doesn't require a bachelor's (or associate's) degree though (I know, I know, why are they applying to this job then? because they really need one lol)

  Anyways, will the person who has the bachelor's degree get paid more, just because they have a degree? 

  Any thoughts?

  I'm sure the answer will be different depending on the situation, but this is just a general overall question.

  Thanks for any insight you can provide!

  At what age do kids start working now a days?

  I’m dating a man who has a 17 year old son. Every time he sees him, he gives him money. I got mad because I took out a personal loan using my credit

  to help my boyfriend with a financial emergency. So he pays me every month so I can pay back the loan. Well, this month he didn’t give me the money in advance and I had to pay it and wait for him to have the money available because he said he decided to give the money to his 17 year old son so he could eat outside with his girlfriend. He prioritized his son’s needs over paying debt on time. Shouldn’t his son work if he wants to have a girlfriend? I’m tired of seeing how my boyfriend always hands him money. He even feels guilty if he doesn’t give him any cash. I started working when I was in high school but my boyfriend says his son is too young. By the way he also has a 20 year old and 23 year old son. NONE of them work. Should he encourage them to work instead of handing them money?

  On a scale of 1-10, how much will a job being my first job ever affect my chances of getting the job?

  I applied at a few pizza places, a grocery store, a McDonald's and a 7-Eleven. Will they be less likely to hire me because I haven't had a job yet?

  Is it possible to have such a good reputation with people at your company that your boss can't fire you?

  For example, pretend I work at a company where I work with about 100 different people. Pretty much all of these people like working with me, respect me, etc. However, my boss doesn't like me, doesn't really respect me, etc. Is it possible that my boss wouldn't have the ability to fire me because pretty much everyone else at the company likes me? Also, I work with those 100 people directly often. I'm asking because I kind of feel this way at my company lol.

  I accidentally clocked out early? What will happen?

  I got hired by a temp agency 2 days ago and am training at a big factory. My shift ends at 10:45 I was with my group and 10:30 came around and they said it was time to leave and they dispersed. I assumed I could clock out then so I did at 10:35. I quickly realized I was the only one leaving and now I don’t know what’s gonna happen. Should I bring it up at work tomorrow? Should I call before? I really love my job and don’t want to get fired. The handbook says I will for unreported early leaves, but I feel like if I explain it maybe I’ll be okay..

  Is it okay to work earlier than the official shift?

  I've been doing it for a while now and nobody seems to mind.  I kind of enjoy it too because I am able to work more calmly and produce quality work unlike when I start on the official time...

  Is that okay? Not compensated for it though... and I kind of don't mind...

  My boss won't give me a raise? Is avoiding me?

  So I got hired at this facility starting pay 13.00 I got all the certifications needed- CPR, Insulin, Certified Registered Medication Aide, MHSS, etc for this job and they still are paying me 13.00. I brought it up to my boss asking to get paid 15.00 due to my certifications and she replied thats for CRMA's/MHRT's with years of experience etc. I've been working there since late april and its now september. So I talked to my coworkers about it and they're outraged that I haven't gotten a raise yet. I always pick up shifts never late, my coworkers say I do a good job etc. And lot of them are making 15.00 or more and have been working there for a short amount of time just like myself. I sent my boss an email pertaining to a few subject and including me asking for a pay raise and she responded to my other questions and not about my pay. What should i do?

  Why did he look me up and down? ?

  I just finished orientation at my new job. I dressed in somewhat business clothes because it’s an office job I’m 21. I wore khakis and a plain black top. When I was leaving one of the guys who worked there said see you tomorrow and then looked me up and down before he walked back into the building he looked to be in his late 30’s. He must’ve overheard someone say I’ll be working there because he wasn’t there the whole orientation and he works in a different department. Did he do that because my outfit wasn’t the most proper outfit or was he checking me out?

  First job, need help?

  Favorite Answer:

  You are new and don’t know much about what to do and how it all works which is normal when you start your first ever job. It will feel stressful and hard at the start but you will learn. You won’t be expected to learn everything in one day and magically know how to do the job. It will take time and they are training you. You will pick it up  eventually and get the hang of things.

  I know the feeling of looking dumb and foolish all to well. But if you keep going, you will pick it up and start to feel less dumb and foolish. Looking back, if I could give myself a piece of advice when starting a new job is don’t quit when it gets too hard. I had a few jobs that I gave up quite quickly but looking back I was too hard on myself for making mistakes and stressing out a lot. Mistakes happen when you start a new job but you just have to learn from it. Starting a new job isn’t easy, but just take a deep breath and carry on. Most importantly, believe in yourself.

  Is a receptionist a good first job to have when you dont have any experience?

  I recently found a hair salon that needs a receptionist full time, but I don't have any experience working with customers. I'm currently working in daycare, and have been doing so for a few years now, but I never worked in places that involve any sort of customer service. Is this a good first job to have? Any advice would be appreciated.

  Is it wrong to not stay over at work?

  Well, two of my co-workers quiet while I off of work. I work two jobs and one of my job wants me to stay over. I would get off of work at 11 P.M.. My GM wants me stay until 5A.M. but I have kids and a family. He has been here for 12hours on and off shift. I told him I can stay until 12A.M. because I have to get home. I work in the morning, then I come here at 3 P.M-11P.M. He wants me to stay until 7A.M. He was huffing his breath on the phone because I said I can stay until 12A.M. I'll see if ok with Husband if I can stay until 1A.M. (plus I am night weaning). I sorry the two workers quiet. Am I wrong for not working because we are short of staff? No it's not a GOV job, we wouldn't be so short staff I think. It's a  hotel reception job. The other job PCA work.

  Can I file a lawsuit or sue my managers what action can I take on my manager or company who caused me to quit my job out of frustration?

  Work as a male carer in my previous care home I got along with everyone including most of my colleagues and staff members and that includes manager.

  After working for 7 years I decided to head for new care home company that pays better. As I had years of experience and skills to take care not just of sick and elderly patients but also of disabled and mentally ill patients.

  And when I saye mentally ill patients I am not trying to make fun of them so I hope I don't offend anyone.

  In my new care home company I started working in 2019 and quit in 2020 28h August today.

  Because as soon as I got here I noticed from the beginning I started foot in this company that staff members and carer workers appeared less friendly.

  They were also taking time off alot and they wouldn't take care of patients. You know looking after them, helping them.i y Shri day to day task they wouldn't clean them properly wouldn't bathe them. They wouldn't have them their proper medications.
