I have never heard that before.People will stop and ask, what are you doing? And I'm like, oh, nothing, because I don't want anybody to start coming to pick my food.In Louisiana, Jennifer Burgess went straight from high school to dog training.For 15 years, I have actually trained over 10,000 dogs.And so how much money did you make there?On my best year ever, maybe 28.Twenty eight thousand dollars?My best year ever.Mariana Perez was 20 when she emigrated from Mexico in 2005, without a high school degree or even any English, spent nine years working in a North Carolina nail salon.
疫情让劳动力市场进入了一个非常特殊的时期。数以百万的失业人员尚待就业。尽管如此，仍有报道称许多行业存在劳动力短缺问题，还有很大比例的工人表示他们正在寻找新工作。对于那些没有学历(学士学位)的人来说，即便在疫情之前就业前景就很黯淡。保罗・索尔曼正着手一个项目，这个项目能够为无学历人员提供更好的就业机会。本期视频是我们“工作轮班”系列的最新内容。艾德恩娜・费恩疫情前的最后一份工作是Uber和Lyft司机，在弗吉尼亚州开车。开车开得太久的时候我会躺下来，打个盹或者睡个觉，但我还能感觉到汽车在震动。没有时间也没有钱上大学，女儿也吃不饱，住酒店的钱也付不起，因为房子被没收了。自己找吃的？在我开车上路之前，我会在树林里或者小路上停下来找点儿吃的。你真的有时会自己找吃的？之前没听你说过。有人会停下来问“你在做什么？”我说，哦，没什么，因为我不想别人抢我的食物。在路易斯安那州，詹妮弗・伯吉斯高中毕业后就直接去做了训狗师。15年了，我训练过1万多只狗。你做这个挣了多少钱？最好的那一年能挣到大概28.2万8千美元吗？是的，最好的那年。玛丽安娜・佩雷斯2005年从墨西哥移民到美国时只有20岁，她没有高中学历，甚至连英语都不会，却在北卡罗来纳州的一家美甲沙龙工作了9年。
