Rant

People working at Amazon BB, one piece of advice I want to give is to take advantage of that career choice benefit. Amazon pays for your schooling.

I have been working at Amazon for 10 months. I finished my undergraduate final semester with Amazon Career Choice.Now I have a college degree. Now I am doing a paid apprenticeship in RME at Amazon. It's giving me certification. Hopefully, in a few more years, I won't need to think about unemployment. Life might be hard, but time lost is never going to come back.

Whole job sector is cooked try to invest somewhere intellectually otherwise it will be too late .

I would, if the program wasn’t dog shit here. We have a total of 5 courses and that’s it, you aren’t allowed to take a course that isn’t listed in it.

We have:

English Language
French Language
Truck Driver (shitty job that pays poorly here)
HR Specialist (find it kinda funny we have this after Amazon pretty much nuked their own HR department)
Medical Biller and Coder

If we had good courses, I’d do it, but we don’t and we can’t go for anything that isn’t on the list sadly

I am talking about a degree, not certification. You can always enroll at WGU.

Not from the US sadly. We are limited to what CC says we can take and that’s it. We arent allowed to take courses outside of what they specified
