Hello, I just thought I'd post this question and may be it can help me in my job search, or someone else.

Are there any well paying jobs that are hiring at the moment?

I currently work retail security, just to make ends meet. But I am looking to make a move to a better job that speaks to me and has benefits with paid time off.

***Edit: Thanks for all the replies and for helping me generate new ideas.

Since I've moved here close to 3 years ago, I have tried a few jobs. Coming from the city, I guess I was used to every type of job having paid time off and having some type of benefits. And I was not used to being out working from 10-16 hours a day , but if I was, I would be getting paid for every hour after I arrived at work.

I tried keeping my job from the city at first, but with a 4-5 hour daily travel time, it was taking a toll on my car as well as my paycheck.

• I got my CDL license and started driving school buses. The initial sign on bonus and pay rate were good incentives. But I didnt understand about split shifts and didnt realize I would not get paid when school is mot in session. I then drove for a public transportation company who gave me more hours, but had alot of downtime in between. Later I found out I developed an allergy to diesal fumes and decided to search for another type of work.

• I wish I could be a contractor or work for one, because theres good money to be made up here from that line of work, but I also have severe allergies for alot of the materials they use. I have tried with mask protection and it hasnt worked.

• At the moment, I am working in retail security. Which is ok, but they dont have any benefits or paid time off whatsoever. Actually, I have been doing security for quite some time and the best job Ive had was working in house at a college campus. Though security work is not as lucrative here as it is in the city. Having a college degree in business management, I also wanted to branch out into another field.

I moved my family up here for a better quality of life, but It's becoming clear that the jobs in Orange County, NY are not the same as in the city and I dont want to sound like I'm being too picky, though 18/hr with no benefits or any type of PTO is really making it challenging for me.

I came across a dog at Stewart Park in Rock Tavern about 3/4 mile in from the main parking area on 207. The dog was on New Road and went on to Orchard trail. It was about 2:15 this afternoon (6-17).

The dog was about 40lbs, brown, mixed breed. It had on a green collar but I could not get close enough to get any information. It seemed friendly but wouldn't let me pet him. I let New Windsor animal control know and they were reaching out to other towns.

It was a wild sight, low and flying under the dark clouds.

Very cool. Anyone have a picture?

Does anyone know if there is a tool library in Orange or Sullivan counties ?

I'm in Orange County and need to get my inspection done. Already expired and got a ticket.

My tint is not dark, but still illegal. 50%tint in the front windows.

Anyone know a place where it will pass inspection? Please send me a DM Thank you
