if you have your associate's degree maybe submit your resume to a temp agency like Robert Half. a lot of white collar employers in the city use staffing agencies to fill entry-level positions.

Reply to comment by TitsMageesVacation in Zeke Cohen officially declares run for City Council President by gothaggis
I’ve had a handful of experiences with Zeke. He’s incredibly accessible as a politician. I’ve messaged him on Facebook, tweeted at him, called his office. All on regular things (pothole/garbage collection shit), and he — not his staff, him — has always responded.
On one thing I was particularly impressed. A friend ran into a house to save two people from a fire. He was badly burned. After he was awarded and decorated, two years later one of the people who lived in the house — the son of the woman who owned the house, who my friend tried to save — was a guy with mental health issues who was living on the back patio of the burned out house. Sadly, his mother had died despite my friend’s rescue attempt. The son was left alone. He was out of his depth and autistic. With no home, no place to go, he just started sleeping on the back patio of the house.
Neighbors saw this and we reached out to Zeke. He gave us as much assistance as he could do in his job. He had the house condemned, which allowed neighbors to do certain things to give the son a way to live on the patio (which he wouldn’t leave, so we got him a shelter and port-o-potty). He, Zeke, took the initiative to reach out to us now and then, to check in.
Sadly, the son died of alcoholism after several months of us providing him shelter, food, clothing, and taking him to homeless shelters now and then until he checked himself out.
Zeke has always been responsive. He was responsive then. I always heard from him, not his staff. When I’ve reached out to him over pothole-like issues, I’ve heard from him, not staff. He responds like a neighbor, not a politician.
One of the dings against Zeke I’ve heard is that he’s too empathetic, too soft for the job of City Council President. I understand that. He’s compassionate and kind and looks to long term solutions for underlying causes of crime, and some people think he’s not as focused on reducing crime in the near term..
I get all that. It may hurt him.
But he would hardly be the sketchy dealer Mosby is.
I’m all in on Zeke.

Having done the Columbia commute for a couple years until COVID, sticking to Federal Hill and Locust Point will save you like 8 minutes in the morning and 12-15 in the evening. There are also a bunch of bars and gyms there so those neighborhoods are probably where you should be looking.
That said I did this commute living in Mt Vernon and it was fine for the most part. It was kind of too much when I had a baby but before that it was aight. That neighborhood has a big gym (Merritt downtown) as well a couple small ones - City Fit, MV Fitness, Charm City Crossfit, Lightnig Quick Fit (boxing), and a bunch of bars / restaurants / music venues. Crowd skews older there than in Federal Hill though.
Would also just tell you to rent a rowhome with a roof deck, that's where the value for your housing dollar is at lol
My parents live in 1101 St Paul and I really like their view. Would pony up for the garage parking just to save time looking for parking in the evening, getting home from Columbia at 6-ish means you're fighting with the symphony / restaurant / theater crowds

Federal Hill will give you a good view of the sky line and put you south of downtown, Eliminating the tunnels from your commute.

The legislative branch can be more active and has more tools at its disposal than that.

Yes, City Council President is an at-large seat, distinct from the district seats.

The JCC in Owings Mills has a dry sauna, and the JCC in Park Heights has a steam room. It is not for profit.

Baltimore Sports & Novelty in Owings Mills. Good selection of jerseys in various sizes you can try on in the store. Orioles fan (and good human) owned.
