Right now I'm unemployed, praying for a second interview. My boyfriend works full time, he is landscaper. Winter is coming fast. Last winter we had a rough time getting through it. He wants a career in machines, like a heavy equipments operator. Right now we can't afford anything. Right now he wants to get his forklift license. It would cost us $250, and would help him get a job in the winter. The winter that passed he was unemployed for the most part, and then had a $8/hour job. So, do you think it's worth scraping $250 for him to get his forklift license? Right now we're so tight on money. (Hopefully I get that job soon!)

Yes, go for it. QFT. Skills and knowledge (such as a forklift license) is almost always worth it. panicxparadox Posted at 8:10 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Yes, if it will help him get a job. naurtoBoy Posted at 8:08 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 say he'll work the average 9-5 job, then you woul be repaid in 1 week. and have 70 left over befor taxes. swtpie Posted at 8:02 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from look over here at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 That's why you go to college. I'm going to college in Jan. He is going to work on getting these licenses from now to probably 3 years. tearsinheaven Posted at 8:00 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 definitely worth it. once he has it, the benefits will far outweigh the sacrifices you had to make, because he'll have a much better shot at employment.

I heart nubs Posted at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 yes Alabamarama Posted at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Yes, it's worth it. You'll be short on money for a while, but then you'll get more money than you would without the license. SerendipityDarling Posted at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Scrape now, invest, reap the rewards.
