You get what you pay for when you try to get a job
While there's a handful of professionals that end up living in their cars, for the most part many people experiencing homelessness with their family don't have degrees, sales training, and in many cases a formal high school diploma.
One thing of interest is Jacksonville Community College offering free education to people experiencing homelessness. It's a little known fact and one that I had reservations about blogging about, but it's something that needs to be put out there...because when I was, nobody told me about it.
If you're homeless and want to return or start college, go to the downtown campus and ask to speak to a guidance counselor. Be honest and state you want to return to school, and that you are homeless and want to participate in their education program to benefit someone experiencing homelessness.
