IT'S GARBAGE DAY AT WENDY'S FUCK YEAH WE EATIN GOOD TONIGHT

Spaceman Future! posted:

he supposedly worked for high profile law firms for about a decade, so that makes his whole "they wouldnt sponsor me waahh" argument a lot tougher to swallow. The dude had options to sidestep without making some ridiculous charity leap, he likely had the income to offset the cost of his own green card application expense he could have found a company willing to sponsor him and hire him if he made concessions to make it happen.

The immigration system is hosed, but that dude had every opportunity to be his own advocate, sounds to me like he thought he was so important that there's no way things wouldn't work out for him so he kept things on cruise control and was shocked when the world didn't bend over backwards for him and made a desperate and risky move that could have been avoided.

Also, if he was doing legal work for fortune 500 companies he likely had enough income to just buy his way to legal citizenship. Its not a game about playing the rules, its about exploiting any advantage you have to get your green card. Dude refused to play, now he leaves.

he also couldve gotten a marriage of convenience pretty drat easy as someone working for high profile law firms

not that that solves all his problems but jesus

he also only ditched the high profile work to do people helping people when he realized he wasnt gonna be able to get everything he wanted doing the high profile work which just :laffo:

Then she went to bed and I texted it to her

You need some kind of consistency of employment. even if its lovely, if it can keep you eating and whit a roof over your head, get at a bare minimum 6 months of solid, consistent work, a year is better. Then go for the next job while you still have one.

Retail is garbage but can offer limited upward mobility. If you can get a retail management spot, that can be used to springboard to better career options as its full of transferable skills. Fedex/UPS is the same poo poo and i think you and have have commiserated about you working there for a while. UPS is still an option.

You are young still and can grind this out. There are no quick answers and being forced to bootstrap oneself in america is loving garbage, but thats the world we live in. Try and focus on the long term goals you have, because short term, poo poo is going to be drudgery and somewhat miserable. However people can and do pull themselves out of it all the time, and overcome being born in ghettos and tons of other disadvantages.

You can do this, its just going to take a lot of work and no small amount of persistence and endurance.

If I could go back to fedex and make enough money doing it as my sole job I would do it in a minute but uh they like to play that 35 hours a week game and I can't do that

I know I could work my way back up at the box people in a minute though. Probably wouldn't even take me a year like it did last time

not in retail or fedex, however the degree gets you in a lot faster. works the same in manufacturing as well. get hired, prove you can think for yourself, eventually you get a spot. getting to a be shift leader even can be experience you can transfer into a better job elsewhere.

If youre not completely braindead and also not a complete wet noodle there's always construction. Otherwise youre probably best off hitting the community college and seeing what kind of certifications you could get quickly for mid level office work.

Once I get back from NY I'm going to talk to my manager about being the lead driver just so I can pretend it's a management position. Tack that on to my SME job and I think I can spin that
