Hello! So recently I’ve accepted a conditional job offer for community and family services as part of the NYHELPS program. All I need now is to get fingerprinted and a background check. To be honest, I am very nervous: I’ve never worked in a government office, or even an office in general- my employment background consists of just a few cashiering positions and a seasonal stint with the parks. I’m afraid I’ve bitten off a bit more than I can chew, but I still want to take a shot at it as I could see this becoming a career for me if I play my cards right.

I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone had any words of wisdom ‘bout what to expect from the environment, the workload, etc- maybe reassure me a bit too lol. Thank y’all so much

Hey everyone,
So this has been something I’ve been discussing with a friend for a month or so: their roommate is moving out in August and I have an opportunity to move in, preferably around September or November just to get everything together. My grandparents offered to help with the first few months rent, which will be around 1k including utilities. I have about 7100 in savings and make 17 an hour full time, paid biweekly. With all this in mind, is moving out a good idea for me? I’m worried about draining my funds and I’m having some doubts.
