So i wanted to get into becoming a barista and wanted to know if doing a workshop or those 3-5 day courses are worth the money and more importantly do they even help in the slightest in getting the job.

From my experience I never had classes, I learned through my church’s coffee shop. A lot of places will hire those who don’t have experience and train them. But I was also a manager for a cafe and I knew that it I hired someone who had a lot of experience I could leave them alone and let them get comfortable in the space without training them on bar. I would love for you to do the classes because you want to learn how to be a barista. I will say, the basics are SUPER easy and can be learned just through time and being a barista is SO fun. There are some baristas who are super bougie and do crazy things with latte art and some that do it for fun. So if you like coffee it’s an easy skill to learn, but if you love coffee it’s an amazing community to dive into!

Loan payment question. I have two federal loans. One has no accumulated interest and is ~$110k. One has about $19k of accumulated interest (I previously made an embarrassingly low amount of money), but the total is ~$140k. While the interest is still frozen, do I: 1) make payments on the $110k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 2) make payments on the $140k principal amount only to maximize driving it down; 3) make payments on the $19k of interest on the $140k loan; or 4) ??

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
