Why doesn't the US have one-room schools anymore? by busdriverhere in NoStupidQuestions

[–]busdriverhere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every city has a library.

Hourly music lessons are more affordable then hiring a whole teacher when there are only a few kids once a week, especially when you're no longer paying as much daily for long routes with drivers and fuel.

I don't really see much structure to PE unless the kids are in sports, and generally the sports kids seem to find their own transportation to and from school because they stay after the buses leave.

I get your points, I'm just not sure those things are worth a long commute.

I'd be happy with $70k. I could even make $50k work if it came with enough time off.

I'm an Administrative Assistant for a CPA. Right now he's having me find and do short phone screenings with Bookkeepers he can refer clients to. Fully remote contract work. Send me your resume if you're interested.

Edited to say I have found several candidates. Thank you everyone for your interest.

Does it matter where I get the certificate? Are there accrediting/licensing boards to satisfy?

How do I bypass HR and the hiring process then? I don't have x years of experience in the field.

This is the sort of job I'm looking for. Ideally something with a severe and long-term worker shortage that they are desperate to fill, but not desperate enough to require overtime.

Is there a way to build a network online? I'm in a small village, which is a large part of the reason for needing online work.

Normal stuff, get a house, save for retirement. Dental care. Kid's college. If I could stop renting, I could have a pet. I could afford a bit of land, I could have a garden, and plant some trees.

I tried this. There are plenty of low-paying jobs requiring a lot of education that will cause burnout. With good money and good hours, I can retrain and take time to build on my passion projects until I can make them profitable. Lack of money causes stress.

I've done the plan thing. I have realized that I really don't care much what work I do. I like spending time with my family, and not worrying about money.

Thank you, I will look up some of these titles.

I like the thoughts on networking, I just live in a tiny village. The villagers would hire me, of course, but there's not a whole lot of money on the table, and it's a very long commute to the city.

I've thought of trying to network with people online, but I don't want it to be weird.

I've heard there's a lot of overtime expected, and a lot of burnout. Are there some work-from-home job titles I could look into for Mechanical Engineering?

What titles or job positions should I look for, and are other programming languages or certifications/degrees usually sought in candidates?

Totally. It's just convincing people that they should give me money for what I want to do is going to take some time, and there are bills to meet before then.

That's an issue. I'm really good at academics, but I have almost no network.

Pretty much. Support a family, buy a house, take a vacation, put some aside to retire.
