We live in Canada.

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!)

Scrape now, invest, reap the rewards.

QFT.

Skills and knowledge (such as a forklift license) is almost always worth it.

Yes, if it will help him get a job.

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.

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.

yes

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.
