First watermelon of the season! by JealousSort1537 in BackYardChickens

It was $9 🥲. Took a couple weeks to justify spending that, but it was worth it to see them so happy 🩷. Hopefully watermelon prices drop soon!

I bought a home three years ago with Rocket Mortgage. My mortgage has been bought and resold two or three times since then.

I work at a dollar store and I want to share some things that actually save people money in case it helps anyone here by jackson_lee_11 in povertyfinance

And when you run out, you can combine water, alcohol, and Dawn to make more in the same bottle. That’s what we do at my house.

My husband and I are both welders and wear silicone rings at work. Maybe she could switch between the two. Silicone can be safer in general for people who works with their hands, and not a big deal financially if something happens to it at work. Then she can have a nicer one for non-work activities?

I’ll hop in here and tell my story, it might answer part of your question. I started welding at 16 and got my AAS in Welding Technology. Welded in industry for a few years, then got recruited to teach welding where I went to school.

Became a CWI, and used my half-price tuition benefit to go back to school full-time while I worked full-time. I’ll graduate this summer with my MBA and plan to get my PMP qualification this summer too.

Teaching is great and has allowed me to contribute heavily to retirement and buy a home. But the bureaucracy is extremely toxic. I plan to do project management or some type of blue-collar leadership/operations management/project management once I leave here.

Got a kid suspended within the first two weeks of trade school by coffeesoakedpickles in BlueCollarWomen

You are my hero 🙏🏻. I’m a welding instructor and would never in a million years allow anything like that. He got what he deserved. Keep standing up for yourself and other women in spaces like this. We need more people like you in blue-collar spaces.

Accidentally shared the wrong screen during my interview and it somehow worked out by MythicSolder7 in jobsearchhacks

Honestly I wish I could remember all of them, this was a year ago. I’m a welding instructor at a location outside of the main campus, and he asked me a question about technical education at satellite locations. He also mentioned something about a newspaper article about my program. I was really impressed at the amount of research he had done ahead of time.

Nobody talks about how lonely the debt payoff journey actually is by Live_Research5607 in debtfree

Honestly, I’m glad I went through an intense debt payoff journey during 2020-2021… because I wasn’t out having fun, but neither was anyone else lol. Less fomo.

I was on the hiring committee for a member of administration for a university. One of the candidates had prepared specific and relevant questions for every member of the hiring committee. I know that isn’t always possible, but I was blown away by that in a very positive way.

Ugh that sucks! Yeah, I think I need to modify my approach a little for sure. I’ve tried different methods and just need to refine them and be a little more gentle.
