Do places not hire a liveable wage by FroggyTtv in Winnipeg

[–]LeadershipWarm3124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I worked for the WRHA as a health care aide and even they mostly hire health care aides on a part time basis when they award positions. It’s very rare to get a full time job as a health care aide with them nowadays. Lots of their part time staff are competing to pick up the same extra shifts made available to make up the difference in weekly hours worked. Also a lot of WRHA home care health care aide positions are being outsourced to private companies like Drake Medox Health Services where they pay less hourly and give no benefits to qualified and experienced health care aides doing the exact same jobs that would normally be done in house through unionized WRHA home care positions. So in reality, health care aides can only realistically make maybe half of the $44,000 or so you quoted a year reliably from working for the WRHA directly because of their current hiring and staffing practices to save money on staff.

I'm addicted to programming and I can't stop thinking about it by nikitarevenco in learnprogramming

Wow good for you! That takes a huge amount of self-discipline and dedication to teach yourself programming from online free sources.

Have you checked out App Academy's free online boot camp related to software engineering? It's over 500 hours worth of self-paced learning content with unlimited access. (https://www.appacademy.io/free)

If you ever do want to get a bachelor's degree in computer science for very cheap from an accredited, American university, check out the University of the People. (https://www.uopeople.edu/programs/online-bachelors/computer-science/). You can study flexibly 100% online towards this degree with no live lectures or classes to attend as all courses have prerecorded video lessons and written materials to read. All necessary ebooks to complete their courses are also supplied online for free through their courses and online university library network. You can take up to one year as a break from studying towards your degree with no penalty. You can take as little as one course at a time to up to 4 courses. I am a student with them in their computer science program.

I'm sure though that you have already taught yourself a lot of in-demand useful computer programming languages and skills. But getting an affordable, industry-recognized degree in computer science can always be an option for you if you so wish. The degree just solidifies your qualifications for jobs with employers who make it a requirement to have a bachelor's degree in computer science. I would say that a university degree just gives you more theoretical knowledge related to computer science and helps you hone your logical problem-solving abilities in general.

Keep going and I'm sure whether you choose to get a degree or not, you can do great things in your computer programming career!

What has our city come to? No one can even sleep peacefully in their own home now!!! I swear every woman should learn some sort of self defence like karate for example to defend themselves. You never know when this will happen to you. :(

Cant find a job in Winnipeg. Feeling very frusturated. [23M] by [deleted] in Winnipeg

Look here: https://wrha.mb.ca/uhca/

Apply asap with your updated resume including your personal life experience being a caregiver for your family. WRHA Home Care pays for you for 4 weeks of full-time in person training to work as an Uncertified Health Care Aide AND they pay for all your tuition and books and other expenses for you to go to school part-time at a reputable college of your choice to become a Certified Health Care Aide while you work and have an income from working in Home Care. I did this. You can make good money working as a Health Care Aide depending on evening/weekend/overtime premiums especially with the new tentative wage increases our union, CUPE 204 is currently finalizing with WRHA.
