The tech sector can't find workers fast enough. Manufacturing is endlessly looking for workers.

I do network engineering and also have worked in manufacturing (mostly driving forklifts). Those things are indeed hiring; but they only want to pay $18/hour. How hard of a concept that is to understand?

But if you wanna pay my tuition, I'd be happy to get a degree in something instead of just being Cisco and A+ certified and just going by years of experience doing the work.
