Once you get experience under your belt, and make contacts....incorporate yourself and go into contracting!!!

If you incorporate yourself can do B-2-B contracting and it can be quite lucrative and you do get to make your own hours, etc.

If you can get into Federal or DoD contracting, that's steady and VERY good bill rates....if you can get a security clearance....VERY VERY good bill rates.

This requires either full time work, and jobs will dry up, or making one's own business which requires paperwork and keeping track of money. This paperwork is handled by a "worthless" degree.

Incorporating yourself and forming your own LLC or S-Corp company and doing a little paperwork is not rocket surgery and everyone that is an adult should be able to handle basic finances.

None of that requires a degree.

Yes, compete with people here illegally who will work for cheap. Sounds like a good idea.

Well, to be fair...we're in the process of throwing those folks here illegally out of the US and making it harder for them to work here.

These jobs should and would go to US citizens if the artificial lowering of wages you describe did not exist.

No it just shows how inept and BAD Kamala was as a candidate and elected official....

For all his faults...Trump is still far superior to her.

I would hardly count Slashdot as being even remotely a "social media" site....

Yup this is creepy as shit....

Makes me happy, however, that I've never been on social media nor had SM accounts.

The importance of "not being seen" .

Hey...it could have been worse had the cackling creepy Harris had somehow won....

Can you name one republican that could win a debate with Pete Buttigieg ?

Vance would wipe the stage with Gov. Pete.

I'd like to see Byron Donalds out of FL to be VP for the Republicans besides Vance as POTUS candidate.

I don't think the Dems have anyone that could touch either of those folks in any sort of debate.

It is probably safe to assume the next Republican ticket to have Vance as POTUS and Rubio as VPOTUS

I think the 2028 dream ticket would be Vance and Byron Donalds out of FL....

That guy is just as cool and a great speaker publically as Vance is...

I don't think the Dems could put up anyone that could touch them in debates, etc.

They both handle the press like champs....

And it wouldn't hurt the minority vote the Reps need either....

Wow....you guys have really gone off the deep end....

I can't really imagine keeping 2x more trash cans in my kitchen and dealing with having to work around and walk around them....it's full as it is.

But hey, it's a free country...you do you.

I don't see any compelling reason to change a lifetime of behavior for no perceived value, and add inconvenience to my daily life.

To each his own...sounds like a major PITA to me.

Where I am...each house has 1 or more general garbage cans...but plastic things, uniform size and shape....and on trash days (2 a week) you wheel the "bin" out to the road side....the truck comes along and a big mechanical arm picks up each can and dumps it in...

There's no garbage men there to even look at what you're throwing out.

On a different day of the week, I do see folks putting out their small recycle bins, the ones that want to participate.

To save money, they've set up this system so that we don't have 2-3 guys hanging on the back of each garbage truck grabbing each can and dumping it...there's pretty much just 1 person driving the truck and the truck grabs, dumps and returns each can....

Again, I don't have anything against recycling....but participation is and should be optional...where I live.

Johnny Fever on WKRP.

"When everyone is out to get you, paranoid is just....

.......good thinking"

LOL....oh, don't forget the Phone Cops!!

Thankfully where I live....no one forces anyone to recycle.

You can if you want...but you are free to decide if you want to bother or not.

We don't have any "trash police" here....we've got better things to spend our tax dollars on.

I'm kind of mystified by the absolute visceral hostility of a large number of Americans towards recycling.

I think it has to do with some cities actually forcing people to recycle....where they actually go through what you throw out and fine you...?

Thankfully I've never lived anywhere like that, but I'd be pissed if that were the case.

I'm glad people that want to do that can....I have nothing against it, but being forced to is another thing entirely.

I don't have room in my kitchen for 3x different cans to sort and throw shit out....nor the patience or time to bother.

But I support those that wish to do so....
