  • I really enjoyed this video mainly because me and you are similar. I graduated 2010 and haven't had much luck with college or work. I work at a Daycare now minimum wage getting no where so I'm thinking about going to job corp. I'm from tx I wonder if they will let you pick a job corp if you know I'll appreciate your feedback :)

  • @LadiiAries1 1st, I wanna thank you for even watching and giving feed back. I'm kinda stuck where I am now seeing as how I'm procrastinating with joining the military now. You do get some say so in deciding on where you want to attend, but in the end, it really falls on which center has an opening for new students. If there are any openings near or away from you, take it. I live in N.Fla and ended up having to attend in South Ga. All in all, I do hope you decide to go.

  • @laronman2008 you're welcome & thank you :) The military is a great choice too i wanted to do the air force but i have flat feet so thats a no lol i'm going to call job corps tomorrow and see what they say I really want to go.

  • @LadiiAries1 The first thing you should do is call a local job corps recruiter. after doing so and if you feel at heart to make that move, do your registration/paper work for entry and from there, they'll give you all the info you need. If u still have questions, feel free to msg me. As far as the military goes, your feet should hinder you from knocking out basic training to get those awesome benefits lol. Good luck new friend and thank you again and you're very welcome.

  • I feel Motivated i have not felt this good in a long time soo thank you very much sir

  • @magicalstarburst1 You are very much welcome ma'am. Glad I could help.

  • @laronman2008 how long did it take for them to give you a date to leave

  • @paigew407 After they call u for an interview, they'll call you again with more info if you're selected.

  • Thank you for the video! I really want to go to be a better person also. I have no motivation whatsoever where i'm from. no job, no money for school...im scared but i think the experience will be well worth...along with your video i watch some others to get a feel for how life is there but im excited just waiting for the call to get an opening

  • Thanks for your vid man, was thinkin 'bout heading up to do Jobcore myself, though i doubted whether i should or not. your vid changed my mind a bit.

  • DONT DO IT 

  • @jo3jo3221 I have no choice but to. I've used up all my 1up's so the Navy is my last train ride to freedom and livability. I do appreciate the advice tho.

  • @laronman2008 dude just go back to college

  • @laronman2008 you passed job corps, you can do college too

  • what college u goin too?

  • @jo3jo3221 I was at South Georgia College but I'm no longer there.

  • @laronman2008 are u still in college

  • @jo3jo3221 Not at the moment. Preparing for the Navy...losing weight, toning up, etc..

  • Thanks for the information. Im going to the one in utah. I heard that one is the best one in the western region.

  • @TheRealSlenderMan You are very welcome. Info is the best free thing I can give out right now. I couldnt do Utah cuz me and cold dont get along too well.

  • THANKS FOR ALL THIS INFO MAN

  • @THE6PLAYER9 No prob. Hope it helped

  • this was the best video ive watched about jobcorps. im going to the keystone one in PA, my sister went and shes doing good! i put alot of thought into it and i seriously need to better my life, im 16 and pretty much screwed up my life so i wanna get on track before its to late, i think job corps will be good for me, im gunna go in there focused and keep my head up because i dont wanna be this person i am now when im 25, time for a change! thanks for this video (:

  • @SexxiiC215 I do appreciate it. Never thought I heard that about this video. A change for the better is always the best path and I hope all goes well for you my friend.

  • Best of luck to you friend.

  • hey man i will be goin in 2 job corps may 24th i will be goin to moses lake in WA and im 22 will be 23 on may 28th so i will be spend my b-day there

  • @skull723 i will be going and i'm 22, so how is it going there?

  • @skull723 Unfortunately, I had to spend my b-day at JC as well. Sucked! Happy Belated!!!

  • This is a good dude who took advantage of something that alot of people take for granted. He was correct about alot of things, and you young people should listen to what he's saying. He has been through it and know what it takes to succeed. He didnt have to get on here and display his experiences, but he did because hes a good dude. Good luck bro, you will go far in life.. God Bless.

  • @iAceback Thank you very much for the kind words my friend. All I can do is try. IT was hard there but I got thru it with ease towards my last 3 months.

  • im soo glad that you posted this video bc i've been thinking about joinin jc and i've been gettin all bad reviews!! but you pretty much laid everything out that i wanted to know!! but good look with you and your gf and much success on ya'll future endeavors!!

  • @calandrapalmer The reviews will infact be a lil diff depending on where those ppl attending JC. Fortunately for me, the one I went to was fairly ok except for the fact that 90% of the staff really didnt really care if u succeed or not.

  • i wish i could go but i have a child to worry about. is there any program that can help you further your education with your child

  • @brittanyrutledge18

    yes its called the solo parent program. thats where im going. cant wait!

  • @brittanyrutledge18 There are Job Corps centers that have day care services and aids for mothers and fathers. You should really check into that. The interweb is your friend.

  • How long do you have to stay there? And are the Classes hard?

  • @Ervin90100 There is no time-limit on how long you stay. The program is self paced, meaning, you can fly thru it if u get and understand it, or you can take your time and really understand what you're learning. Parlaying for too long will result in getting kicked out.

  • Thanks for the info, man.

  • @kyleisah303 1up!

  • in the security trade what all did you have to do?im also thinkin ab that once i get sought up to go

  • @liljamie261 Security is pretty much pre-law any everything it entails. We did physical work outs, wore all black uniforms with combat boots so you can believe we looked B.A. It's pretty much like being in a regular high school class studying your notes and understanding the concept of the trade and security work.

  • what age do you have to be to go to job corps? im 19 and im a mother deperatly needing help and a better life to my child

  • @brittanyrutledge18 16-24. You're good to go as far as joining. I hope everything works out for you and your child

  • dont do it! job corps is fuken hell! drama,sluts,diseases,stinky ppl take it from my experience it sux theres ppl that are literally mentally abused its fuken nuts you cant even have your own you time everyones up in your space and business even when you do your best to get away

  • AND THAT SHIT AIN'T WHERE IT'S AT. I'M DYING TO GO AND COME BACK A NEW MAN. A REAL MAN, WITH GOALS TO COMPLETE AND RESPONSIBILITIES. I'M TIRED OF MY SITUATION SO IT'S TIME TO CHANGE. YOUR WORDS GAVE ME A LIL MORE COMFORT AND PEACE OF MIND AS FAR AS GOING ON AHEAD WITH THIS STEP, SO THAT'S WHY I SAID THANKS. GOOD LOOK ON THAT BRUH AND STAY UP. BLESS

  • REAL TALK, THANK YOU. I'M J.G. AND I'M FROM TAMPA FLORIDA MYSELF, AND I AM ABOUT TO EMBARK ON THAT MISSION. I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SAME THING SINCE I DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. TRAPPIN, FUCKIN HOES, FIGHTING, BANGING, YOU NAME IT. IT HAS WORN ME OUT AND JOB CORPS SEEMS TO ME THE BEST CHOICE BEFORE I BECOME ANOTHER STATISTIC OUT HERE. IT'S HARD OUT HERE AND MY PPL, GOD BLESS EM', STUCK TO THEY WAYS TOO MUCH AND GETTING NOWHERE FAST. I'M 22 WITH NOTHING BUT THE CLOTHES ON MY BACK TO SHOW FOR.

  • @ATT1TUDEGYAL Good luck man, just do it. Be strong and finish if you start.

  • im from tally!!! and im about to sign up!

  • @jacarasunny Power to ya. Did u speak to Wooten yet?

  • @laronman2008 yess i go to the meeting dec.13 i wonder which one they would send me too and how long would it take to send me!

  • @jacarasunny That all depends on you, not them. It's a self paced program. You'll go to which ever JCs has an opening for students at the time when u get accepted. It all depends on which center picks up your file and decides to add u to their roster so it's basically a waiting game on how long it'll take to get in.

  • @laronman2008 oh thats lame man im ready too go now i need my high school stuff will they let me keep the credits i already got??

  • @jacarasunny unfortunately that's a 50/50 depending on which state you come from and which state the JC you attend. Say for instance, if u were from Ga, You can finish up where u left off on the Ga High School Grad Test at a JC in Ga. As far as other states, I doubt it.

  • Ima be going to Job Corps in a min to get my GED and get that Security Trade if i stick to it n focus how long yall think it take?

  • @nwerede20 A min of 4 months, a max of 8 with average progress.

  • @laronman2008 word dats wats up b ty

  • I attended Tongue Point Job Corps in Oregon in 2005. I was only there for two weeks, then I quit. I HATED Job Corps.

    One of the most awful times I had in my life. Job Corps is not for everybody. I laughed when you said "Nobody wants to be stuck at Job Corps"

    TOTALLY true!

  • Wow this video was very helpful.. ure frm tally cool i live like 45 min away frm there but anyway ive been thinkin about goin im goin to the oreintation in a week or 2 will be applyin to one in albany cause i have kids.. but congrats on yur achievement continue to do gr8

  • @makeda2010able on and how long did it take you to get accepted

  • @makeda2010able Only because the center I was trying to get into was hella busy with bringing in new ppl, it took me almost 5 months to get in due to me being placed on a waiting list.

  • @makeda2010able Thanks. I can only do my best. Make sure you take my advice when u get there and plz do get comfy with being there for too long.

  • good stuff man iam got all my papers filled out and now iam waitin for the lady to tell me when i leave. iam also going into the security trade too did u like it ? iam going to the one in ny. i see theres alot of wannabes there which is coo u know everyone should do them. but iam porb gonn have my horse blinders on so shouldnt have any pobs with that

  • Hey man, thanks i graduated from school in 09. and same damn ruten EVERYDAY, wake up, shower, eat , play games Etc. lol im from Fredericksburg Va by the way. and i appreciate you doin this Vid. i was thinkin about doin the security, What did you have to do for that? Thanks if you respond

    Eric/Ehop22

  • @ehop22 They'll ask you what trade you would like to join while you're there. Just ask for it. That's all I did.

  • hey dog it's miles the welder that had the seizure lol when did you graduate? i'm still trying to get back in because the doctors want to be dickheads

  • HOW LONG DID YOU STAY AT JOB CORPS ?

  • @THENAMEISKEKE I bullshitted for a while when I was there but all together, I was there for 8 months. Would have been 5 but I goofed off alot

  • @THENAMEISKEKE Sorry it took me so long to replay, had probs with my internet provider. I was at job corps for 8 months because I bullshitted for about 3 of those 8 months.

  • I'm in the same position that you were talking about (basically doing nothing 2 years after graduating from high school). Thank you for this video, it was very informative.

  • lol i love this vid, i'm bout to go to kentucky jc and i don't smoke but what about electronics. i hear we got lockers if i bring my computer and my camera is it smart you just a no-no.

    thanks..

  • @manufacturedfracture Congrats on deciding to go. It's a good thing that you don't smoke because it will get expensive at the corps if you did. You can bring electronics but it isn't smart to bring large electronics like laptop, portable dvd players, sterio, etc. You do get a locker/closet to store your clothing and personal belongings in as well. They supply you with a lock for it as well. Just be wise as to not let everyone see your stuff and ppl love to steal now more that ever.

  • @laronman2008 thankx man i was considering my camera and laptop to make videos but ill hold that off.. i thank you for the advise.

    thank you

  • @manufacturedfracture No prob at all. I'm here to help any way I can. I did in fact bring my laptop to job corps but the funny thing is, everyone knew I had it. I kid you not when I say I wore it on my back every day on my back in a strap Nike bag. That's just how much I didn't trust ppl enough to leave it in my room during the day.

  • is it like jail?? can you have a phone?

  • @kjazmo After being in a job corps programs after a couple of months, it can seem like jail due to it being strict on certain things. The center I went to was strict on camera phones which outlawed them due to students taking inappropriate pics and posting them on the net but regular camera-less phones are allowed at the center I went to. I doubt other job corps ban camera phones.

  • WHEN U GNE WRITE SUM MORE STORIES

  • @lovelockeddown09 I'm currently writing one now. You can view my blog with the stories I already wrote @ thegadson.blogspot.com

  • how long does it takes to get a GED

  • @buckloko1 Sorry it took me so long to respond, got caught up with the girlfriend. You can get your G.E.D from anywhere between a month to how ever long u stay there. I've know for ppl to come to the centere I attended and get their GED the 1st month they were there for CPP(Career Prep Period). Honestly, it's self paced so you can take your time with it or you can zoom thru it if you're they type that's error free when zooming thru stuff..lol. I too hope that helped you.

  • i'm thinking about going. i was wondering if your able to pick which job corp center you get to go to or do they choose it for you?

  • @TitiyanaSheila You can put a request in for the center u want to attend and be put on a waiting list since so many ppl are trying to get in the program wait for an opening or you can tell them to fill you in on which ever center has an opening to get in at the moment. It's really a 50/50 thing with choosing but it may also vary in different states. I hope that helped you friend.

  • Burnswick Whoop whoop!!!
