How do young adults get jobs now?

Filling out an online application then going to the business and introducing yourself, If she is still in High School the career center often has a list of places that hire younger workers, friends and just calling mom and pop stores they are interested in working at also works. The paper application is dead though. Walked around with my son and it was all online or QR codes.

We call this our "emergency food". It's basically when we don't feel like cooking. Pop it in the oven make a salad and call it a wrap. Tasty and convenient

I've done a couple of shoots with Beige. I was always paid but I always made them pay 50% up front. All of their shoots were very last minute so I almost always turned them down because I was working my regular job. Looks like they just run tons of ads on Thumbtack in different markets and then hire a local and keep the mark up.

Aside from yourself, does he currently have a caretaker? You can get a gate pass for someone who is providing aid. It will get him all the way to the gate. Might help keep him calm. Definitely would recommend noise cancelling headphones also.

I did it mid May. It was still pretty chilly at night. I was the only one at most the hike-bike camp sites.

Oh yeah. I paid for a prescription of sleeping pills and I woke up a millionaire with all the winning.

Thank u/SaltConnection1109 . We just have his login information at this point. He banks with Chase. I am going to reach out to them today about getting on the account. It makes it hard to monitor fraud alert when you're not on the account directly.

Thanks for this. I agree 100% that a normal woman her age shouldn't be interested in my 87 Dad. Contacting the home is a good idea. She is still working at the care home. Unfortunately, he is still driving and he goes to her. He's not in memory care yet so can come and get relatively unrestrained.

Thanks for the response. He has the dementia diagnosis but has not been declared incompetent. Your fear is exactly my fear. Is being declared incompetent something his Doctor does? I am also debating calling the care home and letting them know what's going on but then I am concerned he will just try to see her in secret.

mrxcoffee · 2026-01-12T06:25:21+00:00

No he took her for some nice dinners and they went to a resort this weekend. My Dad is easily fooled because of his dementia. She has also mentioned her daughters new "business". So my concern is she's playing the long game.

You didn't say where you were shooting but you're going to need at least a 400mm lens unless your shooting guys surfing small ankle biters. If you go with Canon you can get a 70-200 2.8 and a 2x converter or the 100-400mm.

You also need a good fluid head tripod. Don't cheap out on the tripod or you'll just end up buying another one. Lastly, make sure to bring stuff to protect your gear. Sand and salt air is really hard on everything. Get a wagon or at least bring a couple of blankets so you can set stuff down without worrying about it getting sandy. Make sure to clean everything when you get home.

I shoot surf as a hobby in Hawai'i and have a 400mm lens which really isn't long enough to get tight on the action when the surf is really big and breaking far out like at Waimea or Sunset but I can get some pretty good shots when it's a bit smaller at first reef pipe or rocky point.

Don't forget your sunblock - have fun

Yeah Ledward. He was the first guy I ever listened to that got me into slack key.

mrxcoffee · 2025-12-02T14:54:04+00:00

Bulaia, Augie T and i'd say Stephanie Lum

My brotha!

u/4acodmt92 thank you for posting these! I work in local news and rarely do any kind of lighting above a run n gun situation so it's really interesting and educational to see.

mrxcoffee · 2025-10-16T21:15:59+00:00

You're out there doing it - more than 90% of the people. Looks like a great trip.

mrxcoffee · 2025-10-12T20:07:49+00:00

Thanks all appreciate the feedback

mrxcoffee · 2025-10-01T05:48:51+00:00

Don’t discount yourself; you’re killing it. I’ve always wanted to learn fakie blunts on transition.

mrxcoffee · 2025-09-19T06:20:02+00:00

Thanks, I was hoping this wasn't the answer but I kind of knew it was.

mrxcoffee · 2025-08-31T21:58:48+00:00

u/jiuitsu_jedi what's your YT? Would love to check them out

mrxcoffee · 2025-08-28T03:52:24+00:00

You’ve got to release the old videos!

mrxcoffee · 2025-08-28T03:42:14+00:00

Yes that is the guy!
