-- Posted by swtpie at 7:57 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 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!) -- Posted by gregorymahony at 7:57 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 yes... ofcourse it is! -- Posted by boothy at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Yes. A means to an end. -- Posted by Whiteman at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 yes -- Posted by LittleItaly at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 yess its worth it -- Posted by SerendipityDarling at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Scrape now, invest, reap the rewards. Yes, go for it. -- Posted by Alabamarama 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. -- Posted by I heart nubs at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 yes -- Posted by look over here at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 That's why you go to college. -- Posted by imSOFAKINGrad at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 why is the rape source link up there lol. ya it should be worth it, if its a good paying job, go for it -- Posted by Reefer at 7:59 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Yes it is. -- Posted by tearsinheaven 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. -- Posted by swtpie 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. -- Posted by naurtoBoy 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. -- Posted by panicxparadox at 8:10 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Yes, if it will help him get a job. -- Posted by Evolutionism at 8:11 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from SerendipityDarling at 7:58 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Scrape now, invest, reap the rewards. Yes, go for it. QFT. Skills and knowledge (such as a forklift license) is almost always worth it. -- Posted by Velico112 at 10:18 am on Aug. 16, 2008 Worth it
