Wow...I've always been interested in doing something like this... did you have to pay for the job agency to get you that job? Do you like doing this?

I work at a fast food restaurant popular in the south. (Bojangles) Do Grill and Chicken Mon-Wed.
Part time with $8/hr pay but eh... Its my first ever "official" job.

Its actually the only application I sent in back in March because I was tired of complaining to myself I hated not having a job, wasting time now that i had my EAD, etc.. so I sent it in and got a call for an interview.

Now with the money it pays, im finally taking care of my health. Hadn't seen a doctor in over 10 years.
Aside from a Thyroid issue I now need medication for.. Im glad it wasn't worse.

I'm currently a Project Manager for a Marble/Granite company. We are one of the largest in New England and have done jobs for several high-profile people in the area.

Started cleaning floors, then proceed to being a CNC programmer (knowledgeable on computers), then moved up to Assistant Project Manager, now a Project Manager, approaching 8 years in the company.

I like my job.

I work as an editor and camara operator at a small television station in Cali. Its a pretty cool job but i have have to be available almost everyday. The good part is that I get access to a lot of cool places and get to meet a lot of important people like celebrities and all that

Pay starts at 15.50 for bilingual speakers and once you become permanent get a dollar raise and once permanent your options are endless you can move up or around the other departments like IT, Direct customer support (dell, HP, Sony, Apple...) Data Recovery departments (if you look around in the Internet Seagate has some of the most high end data recovery centers).

School? well High School graduate, A+ certification and some Cisco certifications nothing fancy but i think they definitely helped. I had no previous experience "on paper" working with computers but ive been dealing with computer since i was a kid mainly because i could not get a job in the IT field until DACA.
That sounds really cool and the pay sounds solid. How long did it take you to get certified in the required fields?
