What would you do

[Together4ever 1]

My husband is a Civil Engineer. He has done research and understands he has to work under someone in the USA to get his PE. Ok, I have no idea what he is talking about with that however I do understand he is wanting to work immediatly and asked me to check to see if he could sub teach as all you need is 90 credits here in Michigan.

As for working in a fast food place or washing dishes. I wouldnt want that for him at all. He isnt suited for it personality wise. Now sales...yes. Really it depends on the persons personality. I cant sell anything to anyone, it isnt me at all. I would rather be the cook!!! LOL!

I just got back in the USA and have to find job. So I understand how he might feel till he would be able to work here. I am changing direction as I would rather sell something then to work doing hair again (if that doesnt tell you how much I hate cosmetology work) But I did it to support my family and will do it again in a month if I cannot get work.

Humor will get you thru!

Wendy, I was in your shoes 2 years ago. I returned from Egypt with nothing but my suitcase. I had to take ANY work to support myself and put my ideals aside temporarily, until I could find that job that suited me. I think this is the point many are trying make here. If a family is in financial need, sometimes you just have to do what is necessary instead of what is ideal, at least for a time. I did not want to work in a department store for hardly more then minimum wage. It destroyed my feet. They will never be the same from all those hours of pounding that hard floor carrying vacuum cleaners and blenders. But I had to survive and I did until I found work I liked and was suited for. I would never want Mohammed to feel as I did when I started that job or sat with throbbing feet, but IF that is what he has to do to get established and get a position he is happy with, I will support him no matter what. I think we all want those we love to just be happy in their lives.
