Reply to comment by SomeGuyFromRI in Newport St Patrick’s Parade by Frosty-Vegetable-385

Honestly get there early, park at the gateway and walk down Thames as far as you can get. The hike back is worth the hassle. The local radio station WADK does parade coverage so if you want to pop the listen live on and jump into a coffee house or something you can get a pretty good idea of how long you have before the parade gets close to you. I used to have family who lived near Thames Street Glass, which is not far from the grandstand at the end of the parade route so you ended up with the various drum and fife/ drill teams and other stuff getting to stop and handle a bit of performance for you sometimes.

They have welders riggers painters electricians probs another 5 jobs I’m forgetting. I went through the interview process just to learn I’d be working 2nd shift and not getting hours toward my license. They pay great I was offered like 22 iirc no expirence but if you want a license I’d say go another route.

idk why folks are downvoting you but you can absolutely learn to code on your own using free resources that employers will actually view as valid certifications and provided you're able to pass their tests, you'll be on reasonable footing with other candidates.

udemy stuff can be fantasitc, for example, and will build you real skills.

the thing I think people don't realize about these software jobs is they are far better able to test competency before hiring you than other fields, and so they don't rely as much on you having a bunch of degrees and certifications in your field.
