(I am NOT trying to start a conversation about race or immigration so please do not bring it up)
I am a 21 year old black male living in Los Angeles and I have have been struggling to hold a job since I was 18 I have no car and only a couple hundred dollars of savings.
I have been going from youth shelter to youth shelter,
low paying temp job to low paying temp job
low cost job training to low cost job training
for 4 years and I’m SICK OF IT!
All the money I try to save up ends up burning away.
It seems to me that the primary reason I cannot land a stable job that pays a living wage is because I don’t speak Spanish which is almost mandatory for all jobs that do not require a college degree that pays at least $30k a year.
Would you guys agree that the only option for people like me is to either:
- Learn Spanish
- Obtain a degree
- Move to a city where Spanish is less prevalent
- Join the military?
