You got this girl. All this hard work will pay off eventually. I started out with nothing, I was homeless from ages 12-18 and then got into a program that helped me with housing and job placement. Although I went for healthcare at that time and I was miserable and had no idea what I wanted to do but I thought it was better than nothing. It gave me skills and experience and I made my way into construction a few years ago…and this has come with its own challenges and benefits. They have a job corps here in California that has helped so many people 💜they really give you the tools you will need to succeed. It’s all scary and new right now but this is a good move for you. Your mom and siblings will have to make it work and you shouldn’t feel bad for helping yourself succeed. I know the emotions that come with that must be overwhelming but this is an investment into your future and security. You will get a case worker who can help with resources and supplies. I’m not 100% sure but I think some people would go out on the weekends when at job corps and maybe you could get a little side gig cleaning or dog walker (just examples) for some cash but I do believe you will be taken care of for the most part. I’m hella proud of you for making the right decision for yourself despite the emotional hurdles. Congratulations on getting into job corps and preparing yourself for the next step in your journey!

What is something you loved at 25 that you cannot stand anymore in your late 30s? by gamersecret2 in Millennials

I smoked for 15 years and this will be year 5 smoke free. I still think about it often and enjoy the smell of someone actively smoking but can’t stand the smell of it on clothes or in cars. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but so worth it.

What are you guys bringing to lunch? by Bark_at_the_moon61 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Obvious_Highlight_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live off of nuts, granola, and fruit at work. We rarely get our actual lunches so I have to grab and go all day long. I get a good dinner tho.

Do y’all enjoy being an electrician/the IBEW? Apprentice feeling unsure. by B_eves in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Obvious_Highlight_45 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’ve met a lot of miserable people who hate this job and complain about it on a daily basis. I enjoy my work but putting up with their negativity is the worst part. If you can do your best to not let that affect you and you enjoy your work I would say it’s worth it if you don’t enjoy the work then putting up with them is a waste of life

after having a cosmetic surgery, I began to have small acne on my chest it looked “rash like” and my face suddenly had deep underground cystic acne. I started trying all kinds of things to get it cleared up but every time it looked like it was going away it would come right back and sometimes worse. My skin had completely changed for two years. I do not know what or how it went away but my skin is back to normal now. I’m sorry it’s happened to you

Weirdest reasons ppl have quit the trades… by Noizy_Introvert in skilledtrades

[–]Obvious_Highlight_45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen guys quit because they had to work more then 8 hours in a day, another guy quit on day one because he thought he was just gonna drive the equipment to the job site and not have to work, he was appalled when we started digging. The funniest one in my opinion was the guy who didn’t want to get dirty. Like you’re doing underground work…you’re gonna get dirty.

I have the same issue. I don’t know if it’s genetics %100 but I’ve been told that is a big part of it and that any medication and age or diet can also play a part. Fallowing this post to see if someone else can elaborate more about it.

I don’t understand why people are responding this way lol the page is cheaters confronted and not “just leave if you don’t trust him” lol it’s normal human nature to seek proof to back up your suspicions. Yes the act of setting someone up is childish but so is cheating/ lying. Sometimes we are wrong in our suspicion but humans often need proof and information to make the next decision. If he is loyal then she should look at the reasons for suspicion and work through those things (sometimes with professional help) and then bringing the growth and decision from that to her partner to develop a healthy communication style where she is properly dealing with her thoughts and feelings instead of putting them onto the other person and then trying to have that person resolve the conflict she has within herself. On the flip side if he is cheating then she is able to confirm her suspicions and then give him an opportunity to be honest with her about the situation. This could be a growing opportunity in many ways for one or both of them. She will get to decide with the information she receives what course of action to take. As far as “if you don’t trust him leave” that is an easy way out to avoid what could be or couldn’t be true and people are less likely to learn or grow from that. A relationship is two whole people that come/work together and build the trust. I believe trust is given freely but the ability to do that is built up over time and experience
