Updates: my husband started his full time job this week Monday, working for an Amazon contracted company as a delivery driver and earning $15.50/hour which is way above the minimum wage in our area. Our goal for him was to get at least $15/hour on his first USA job. He gets an increase every 3 months. He likes the job thus far because he loves to drive. So we thank God.

 

Oh and they didn't ask for his high school diploma but he had to take a job written test which he passed well.

 

Thanks again for your input. 

That's awesome! Once he gets experience doing that, I'd suggest looking at moving up to FEDEX, or UPS - I'd imagine they get superior benefits (as they're unionized) compared to working for an Amazon Contractor and would largely be the exact same work. Doesn't have to become a career, but it's definitely good to have the extra income.

Thanks for that good advice! We were just talking about that the other day. That will be another option if he doesn't join the Military by the end of the year. The Military is still our main priority right now. Will keep you posted. Cheers
