Hello. I (27m) am hopefully going to be getting into my first para position. I worked in the food industry for my whole working career & I need something different with benefits. Also is kind of important to me to feel like I’m doing something rewarding. My mom is a SPED teacher and has been a para in the past and encouraged me to try it out. I’ve applied to a few different schools and interviewed at one for more mild disabilities where I would be going from science/social studies and helping students with homework or tests etc. I have an interview tomorrow at a different school which is more severe disabilities. I don’t know if that’ll be the right fit for me.. but I figured I’d go in and speak with someone to see what the job really entails. Is there any advice you’d give to someone just getting in to this? I know it’s not the greatest pay and can be exhausting. But I’d love to hear both sides!

Figured I’d post here. I (m27) just moved here from Minnesota and I’m looking to connect with people who rave as that’s my biggest hobby and liking. I’ve been to multiple fests and shows & my favorite genre is dubstep/riddim but I can get down to other genres as well! I live in the east valley and would love to meet people who share the same interest!

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever! When is usually the drop dates? First time going this year.

I (27m) am a step parent to a 5 year old. With absolutely zero support. We don’t have family to take her off our hands once in a while, the baby daddy is of course non existent, and she is not in kindergarten yet. I haven’t had a night alone with my wife in months. I watch my step child 5 days a week in the mornings as I work nights. And on top of that, she is a Velcro child. She doesn’t play by herself, read, play outside, try to learn how to ride a bike even if I push. Nothing. She wants to be in your face 24/7 and expects us to entertain her. I have to physically take her out of the house to do things to get some sort of relief for myself. I can’t even sit on the couch for a second and get a second to breathe. Maybe only child syndrome? I don’t know. But I feel like I’m at the brink of exploding constantly. Sometimes I cry to my wife on how hard parenthood has been on me. How sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and wonder who I even am anymore. I feel like I’ve really put myself on the back burner constantly having to put the child first because there’s absolutely no support and we don’t have the money to be paying for someone to watch her. I have a very supportive partner, and I know it’s easy to say you can leave you’re young. But it’s not that easy, because I do have so much love for her and this relationship. But I just feel like I’m drowning sometimes with no one to help me. How do you navigate this if you also have no support?

Looking for morning work!! I work a night time job and I need a second job asap. If anyone knows of anything please let me know! I’m in the east valley!

Hello,

I am (27m) and I currently live in Arizona. I have worked in the restaurant industry my whole working career and I need to find a different purpose in life. I have always stuck around because of the money, but it's time for me to move on and learn something new. I do not have a degree, and decided college was not for me. I love helping people and being there for people when they need me. I have always been rather selfless. I am really easy to talk with a get along with. I think I have always been interested in the medical field, and being able to help people and talk with people. My uncle was a firefighter paramedic and I always looked up to him. I have dappled with taking EMT courses or trying to find something entry level in the medical field that could give me more purpose in life. Does anyone know of any good jobs I should look out to do? Or even out of the medical field. Thank you in advance.

Anyone know of any jobs hiring AM shifts right now? My night job starts at 4 and I’m in need of finding a morning one. Most of my work has been in the restaurant industry serving, so a breakfast place would be great. But I’m willing to work outside the industry too! I’ve applied and walked in many places & jobs seem scarce so wondering if there’s any leads!

In kind of desperate need of a morning job if anyone knows anyone hiring. I live in Chandler. All my experience is in the restaurant industry serving so if anyone knows breakfast places hiring. Or even none restaurant jobs are fine! I work my night job at 4 so just need to be off around 3. Let me know please!
