Educate yourself on food stamps

[flyboy56]

You'd first need to get your Comp TIA A+ certification. That consists of two exams, which are mainly basic computer knowledge and entry level hardware,software, and networking concepts and troubleshooting. Sort of the stuff you seem to already have some knowledge of. That certification can actually get you working in the field. You can actaully prepare for that by either taking a course at many community colleges who offer it or I've known some people who have just ordered study guides and basically prepared themselves for the exams. It's been a minute since I took my A+ exams but I believe at the time they were about $150 apiece.

The MCSE(microsoft) certifications, CCNA(Cisco), MASE(HP), certifications, etc aren't really required but look good on a resume. The costs for those courses vary and you also have to pay for those exams as well. I actually had a classmate at UMBC who got his A+ certification and ended up opening up his own computer repair shop and is doing incredibly well. I wish I had that kind of ambition

Thanks for the info. I received my Airframe and Power Plant (A&P) license by studying the books and then taking the 3 exams. I also took the FCC test by just studying the books. I will probably do the same for the Comp TIA A+ exams. But these exams must be taken at a college?

No there are different test centers all over the state. You can just google it for locations. There are also sites that have practice tests on them that you can take and see where you're at knowledgewise

I hope that I can afford one of those new iPhones...just like the one the woman who was in front of me in line at the supermarket had, paying for her food with her Independence card.

how do you know the "iPhone" was not a gift from someone else?

[bmore_ken]

Not to mention if you know where to go you can buy one for cheap

The phone is cheap, but generally the voice + data plan is not.

I have noticed lying is really easy for you.

Things like that happen, but they are far from the norm.

I don't know about you, but I don't waste time A) watching how people are paying for their items or B) trying to identify the brand of phone they are holding up to their ear.

I think people read about these things and then they get spread around like urban legend...

You're right, it's a popular myth that some like to perpetuate. I worked in the supermarket field for most of my life, and mostly in poorer neighborhoods. Did I see abuses, sure! But they were few and far between.

What did people do before taxpayer-funded food stamps were carelessly tossed out to whoever wants them? When legal immigrants came here to escape the potato famine in Ireland, without a cent to their name, did we step over bodies of people who had starved to death?
No.
That is not part of our history.
So what did we do before the gubmint forced this bloated, expensive failure on us?
Educate yourself on that.
If you need help finding the simple answers as well as the difficult ones, let me know, my lyberal children.

I was going to respond to that nonsense , but then I thought why bother?

True, don't know where he came up with that moniker, but it gives me a chuckle when I read his posts. It doesn't surprise me though that he thinks the Irish fared well here after they left their home country because of famine.

I find it hilarious. Because every time a slavery topic comes up , some white person brings up how horrible their Irish ancestor was treated in America. You just can't make this stuff up
