I am a single mother who s also the caregiver to my grandfather. In 2022, I decided to return to school to continue my education. Originally attending for a dual-licensure program in elementary education and special education, I decided to switch after my first term for data analyst and data management where I believe I can achieve higher position roles. #SingleMom #CollegeStudent #CollegeMom #BoyMom #WGU #NightOwl #KoreanHotMessExpress #KoreanBorn #SpanishNamed #KoreanAdoptee

Hi everyone- this is my first post on here, so I really don't know what to say.

I've been trying to find a job that is geared more towards what I want to do in the future. I'm in college right now and I will be getting my Associates in May, then transferring to a four year university to get my Bachelors in Teaching and Learning. I love teaching and I love being in the classroom around children. I've been applying for a bunch of jobs because the place I'm at now is just going downhill and has taken such a negative toll on my physical and mental health, it's just bad. The only thing is, all my job recommendations are for customer service (because that's what I do now), but I want something that has to do with teaching. I've worked at two day cares for about 3 months (total). I voluntarily left them one because they were mistreating the children and I did not want to be associated with that and the second because of conflicting schedules with my classes. I want something that isn't daycare but has to do with actually teaching the children because that's my passion. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do? I've updated my resume a billion times and FINALLY have one I'm not ashamed to show people.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you! #collegestudent #futureteacher

I'm 22 years old and finishing college next year but I am thinking about taking a year off to help start paying these loans before I get buried! I've talked over my options with a couple of my old bosses, both used to drive. They said that I could do a training program with a large carrier like Swift, get my CDL, ride out my contract, and then use what I earn to pay tuition and loans. I don’t think it sounds like a bad idea and I def want to go back to finish school. I have come too far to drop out now. I can see the country and trucking would beat flipping burgers, wouldn't it? What do you all think I should do?

Dear Jobcase Community,

My name is Nate, I'm an aspiring programmer, and I need help!

Is it just me, or is it difficult to find internships for software developers? No? I'll add a few variables: College sophomore, living in Philly.

I've posted my resume to over 20 companies in the area and surrounding it (20 being the number I can remember, I've hit the "Easy/One-Click Apply" button countless times it seems). If you say it could be my skills, well I have almost every trigger-word in my resume that would give HR "ants in their pants". I've used several job boards as well (CareerBuilder, Indeed, Dice, a board dedicated to Montgomery County, Jobsflag, ZipRecruiter, JobSpring, this site, a few recruiters... Oh so many T-T...) However, only one company ever called me (such a great company, could've spent my life there. Why they didn't hire me after the interviews is another story T-T). Besides them, I haven't received so much as an email stating they chose other candidates.

You hear/read so much on the Internet about the booming tech field. "There will be this many millions of jobs in the US by 2020 but only so and so thousands of people to fill those positions. Get in it now!"

Well... We're almost 2 years out from that projected deadline... Is the demand really there, or was that some agenda of the colleges to boost attendance or some crap? (Sorry for the conspiracy theory XD).

Basically, I just need a few straightforwarded answers from someone in the field. Every ad that I see these days wants at least a BS and 2+ years of experience. Every ad seems to ask for technologies that are impossible to learn as a college student (I'm a self taught programmer and usually very good at finding the resources needed to expand my repertoire). I mean, how are you supposed to learn the new technologies that only seem to be available in-company, or get any kind of "hands-on"/"real-world"/"solid"/"business solution" experience... WHEN NOBODY WANTS A NEWBIE??

There are new apps and software being released by new companies every year (every month, every week... Every day!). Obviously somebody's getting hired.

So with that, here are my questions:

1. Is it even possible to get a software development internship (even full-time junior/associate position... Doing the grunt work... Debugging, from what I can gather lol) as an undergraduate IN PHILLY (though I'm not against traveling to reach my goals)

2. If so, list the companies I should apply to please!

3. If not, let me know which cities in your state are the hotspots in our field. I will move if that's what it takes to be a programmer (given the right opportunity). "Dude, I just wanna freaking code all day!"

4. It's fine if the answer is wait until I get my degree. If that's what is wanted, so be it. I'll be patient... But just a year and a half ago, while still in high school, it seemed like there were a plethora of positions for undergraduates (it's kind of frustrating thinking the demand disappeared so quickly).

5. If I still have the attention of my idols/peers, anyone who has experience in the field, what technologies should I learn that apply to your niche? I don't care if it's systems engineering, aerospace, robotics, full-stack, quant/finance-coding, artificial intelligence, physics/chemistry simulating, mobile apps, game development... The whole deal (almost said full-stack again, hahaha). I love it all. Again, "I just wanna code."

6. Should I try freelance websites? Push my app ideas onto local business (non-software oriented)? Keep building my project portfolio?

If you've read this far without skipping, thank you for taking the time to hear me out. Any and all advice/criticism about this post or my situation is welcome. Please, please, please let me know if this anxiety is warranted. Thank you again!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good places to work part time while in college, like places that isn't fast food? I worked at McDonald's for 11 months and didn't want to anymore because how stressful it was to me. Maybe something a bit more relaxed so I can be able to focus more on college for these last two classes. #jobhunting #jobs #collegestudent #parttime #unemployed #searching
