Why do they drive around the parking lot going 2 mph? Are they really accomplishing anything? They are constantly in the way when I'm trying to drive in and out of the lot.

People suck. I purposely try to get in and out of there without dealing with anyone.

You are not alone in that understanding OP. I lived on the north side for many years, and there is a reason I don't now. I get that there are people out there that have had a rough go at it, but I don't miss random dudes wandering down my street in tore up puff jackets and missing a shoe looking like they just came out of a 40 year desert march or wild eyed people coming to my door and telling me I was chosen by god because my door was red, my truck was white, and I have a biblical name.

I ain't going to convince the civic cheerleaders that live in some Springfield that I certainly never have and frankly they can have it. The only thing keeping me here are my parents and my friends.

Yeah I don't think that confirms that division st is covered in meth fueled zombies. I don't know what to tell you, if you're hounded by poor people at gas stations, buy a tesla. Though unfortunately the good charging station is on north glenstone. If you don't like where you live then my suggestion would be to move. But your experience isnt universal. I grew up a few blocks away from Jefferson and division and never had any problems. My parents still live there and wouldn't trade their neighbors for the world.

I dated a Kickapoo girl once. Asked her why the whole family kept guns under their beds. Turns out their next door neighbor was Jon feeney. I'll take a stolen bike over that any day.

Reddit uses vote fuzzing, refresh a few times and you'll see that your vote count goes up and down a little.

Also, we weren't talking about that kind of church. We were talking about something... else. Something secret. Something wonderful. Something terrible. It is forbidden to say more, hence my admonition to stop talking about it.

Now I must go listen to Cradle of Filth and make my night complete.

How do you expect to find a job with a Bachelors of General Studies?

Why did you not study Project Management, Accounting, IT, CompSci, Stats, Finance, Education, or just anything specific?

Everyone is looking for employees with those skills. There is a labor shortage from everyone dying during COVID.

You just don’t understand the point of higher education. It’s to specialize.

Here's a list of job openings from a company I used to work for. They're a great company to work for, and I owe so much of what I have now to them. They don't really have a reputation for paying the very highest in the field, but when people left for higher pay at other companies, they often came back for the supportive culture. I loved it. The owners are awesome, my co-workers were awesome, and the work was interesting and challenging.

I left to be a high school teacher, teaching the skills I used at this company, and I love that even more. It's a dream job, honestly. I'll tell you what I tell my students: There's no place in America for the unskilled. Not today, and not in the future. We can work to change the system so that that isn't the case, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Can you program PLCs with ladder logic? Are you a process engineer? A machinist? A CAD designer? A TIG welder? Awesome! All of those jobs are in high demand, and are among those in the link above. Do you have a high school education only and years of experience in retail or restaurant work? You're in a tough spot.

High schoolers: Get your A+ scholarship and go to OTC for free, learning to do all of those high demand skills. You've only got to graduate with a C GPA, do some mentoring, and pass your Algebra EOC. Do your math and science homework. DO NOT GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT A PLAN FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION! We have a surplus of those people already.
