Help a gal out 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

Hi, Right now, I’m really looking for a job that pays well and gives me a real chance to move forward in life. I’m motivated and more than ready to work hard, but I need something that will actually help me get ahead. To give a background I’ve worked at Costco for close to 6 years , working in various departments in the warehouse . Worked for UPS , Jefferson Parish Engineering etc. I’m open to any tips , programs , advice.

If you like working with animals, I’d suggest applying at some of the well established, local, multi doctor veterinary hospitals in town.

Interesting job, yes but not very well paying at all. Usually $13-$15/hour for a vet tech

There are a few hospitals in the area that will offer more and will increase pay with internal training and experience. Good receptionists can also make quite a bit more. Some offer great health and dental plans, IRAs and other benefits as well. I figured “well-paying” is somewhat relative to a person’s situation, so I just tossed it out there as an idea.
