Clerical and administrative can be a good start. I would highly encourage you to look at your local government job boards and see what the requirements are. Also, remember that a lot of the salaries are usually made up with benefits, but check into that for yourself.

Sure, local and state governments typically have a lot of openings for non-college people. Some of them may be out in the field, but some would be office positions. In some cases you might be able to get tuition assistance, and get help going to college if you were interested in that.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
