I'll survive with or without this job theres no time to learn something and save your situation! Plus no schools are open...and I never hired someone from a trade school and I've hired allot of people. That industry is learn on the job and you start out at min wage and work your way up, trade school or not!

I hate to tell you buddy, but it seems as though you failed high school English. Shame on you!

It might not be the six figure job you had in mind, but it's not unskilled work in the same way that some temp jobs and other minimum wage jobs might be. Being a CNA, phlebotomist, etc., requires specific training, and the difference between a CNA and a job at the temp agency is that most CNA's I know get health insurance and there are CNA jobs at literally every hospital in the USA right now so it's very transferable.

Actually, Not really, I'm a licensed funeral director in a few states and have been keeping an eye on the job boards... surprisingly there isn't much out there.
