of at risk young folks we work with, one 18, one 21. They have been
pounding the pavement here for almost a month, one has put more than 30
personal stops and restops to places that "might" be hiring and who
knows how many on line applications. There is just nothing out there now
the pres is gonna' give 11 million new illegals the right to compete for
the ones that are there?

Oh, and the 18 year old just found out his license appt has been pushed
back 60 days as they are expecting a flood of illegals at DMV here in
CT... This is crazy...

I don't know about the Drivers thing Scott but the local economy in my area sucks. A friend of mine is trying to support a family of 5 while working part time in an auto parts store. He was full time till they started cutting hours. He's been looking for other emoyment for the last 6 months but nothing for him in the area. He's a good mechanic too and takes side work but he says that's getting slim too. No, the economy isn't 'booming' regardless of what anyone says.

I know a couple of "troubled" kids on the west coast who got into a
12-week pre-job program to learn general work skills and then into union
apprenticeship programs to become skilled workers with steady jobs and
good pay and benefits.

Good paying jobs are still hard to find. Many that existed 8 to 10
years ago are gone for good. People who want to get ahead may have
to go back to school, learn new skills and start all over.

The 18 year old is just graduating HS next month but has worked nights
part time with a stage company. He does sound and lights, etc but that
is a pretty narrow market. The 21 YO just graduated from a local tech
school, with automotive mostly in his curriculum. Both have good
appearance and are pretty sharp. It's a tough market around here for
young guys.

Tell the kid getting out of high school to check out:

http://bergstenmusic.com/

They are the largest backstage equipment rental company in New England
and supply sound gear, lights, mixing equipment and instruments
(guitars, amps, organs, keyboards, etc.) for bands and groups when they
perform at the major venues in the New England area. The have a crew up
there working almost 24/7 filling orders for equipment and a fleet of 8
large trucks and several smaller ones to deliver and pick it all up.

I've been up there many times. It's like Disneyland for musicians or
audio/lighting geeks. Don't know if they are hiring but I know they are
busy as hell. The owner is a friend of mine and he told me they average
about 200 rental/setup gigs a month.

Without any further education or specific skill training decent jobs for
kids that age are far and few between. Hell, they are hard to find for

My HVAC guy has his own shop, is a hard worker, and his two sons and daughter work at the business. The two sons install units, and the daughter runs the "store".

The sons are well raised, clean, respectful, and well spoken. They are following the dad's footsteps because they see what good, honest work can get you. He works hard, but lives well. I called him on a Sunday evening on his cell, and he took my call during one of his son's birthday parties to help me with an issue with one of my units a couple years ago. I rewarded him by buying a new Trane split heat pump from him for upstairs last week. My third unit from this guy. Not the cheapest fellow, but not the most expensive. Honest and good.

Oh, and he's a conservative christian. :-

My wife's uncle started out as a diesel mechanic with initial training
in the Air Force (back in the early 60's). When he left the Air Force
he continued working in the field for Cummins and then Caterpillar but,
being non-certified his income and growth potential were limited. He
took advantage of one of the company's certification programs and then
started going to school at night to get his degree and teaching
certificate. Over the course of the next 10 years he continued and got
a Master's in education. He taught diesel technology at two local
technical schools (both two year colleges) and did pretty well for
himself. This is a guy who grew up in a rough section of Boston, never
graduated from high school and got his GED in the Air Force.

he continued working in the field for Cummins and then Caterpillar but,
being non-certified his income and growth potential were limited. He
took advantage of one of the company's certification programs and then
started going to school at night to get his degree and teaching
certificate. Over the course of the next 10 years he continued and got
a Master's in education. He taught diesel technology at two local
technical schools (both two year colleges) and did pretty well for
himself. This is a guy who grew up in a rough section of Boston, never
graduated from high school and got his GED in the Air Force.




That's cool. I know a few successful grads of the Job Corp who are doing
very well these days.
