Should I list my college degree if I’m applying for jobs that just need a high school diploma or less?

So I was an education major who graduated university years ago. I'm looking to just find a job right now that is more physically demanding. Like warehouse, etc. However I'm getting almost no callbacks right now. Should I list my degree on my resume or application? Please share your thoughts and prayers, thank you!

What is a good “big tip” for a driver?

They are going out of their way for me & hinted that they are expecting a big tip (I think they think I don’t understand tip culture from the way they spoke). I agree the tip should be big. The total cost of the trip was $67. They are only driving me an hour or less out of the way but they are really saving me hours of time & other things. It’s worth $40-50 at least. What do you guys think? Is that a big enough tip? I really appreciate what they are doing for me. I don’t want to undercut them as they’re doing me a big favor. ETA It’s saving me more than 3 hours by them taking me this way. I want to make sure the money says that because I know words don’t mean shit lol

Preferred wage rate?

Looking at my budget and financial plans I tried to see what wage would work with what I wanted and came to $21hr (USD) I’d be okay with that considering it’s a bit high compared to what most people in my field get but low for what I think my skill set is worth. Anyway getting myself ready to ask for a wage increase in a few months if another job I was planning on doesn’t work out, what wage would you want from your work to consider it good enough for the life you want?

Question for you all…

Hi everyone, So I'm a Residential Support Coordinator (basically I'm the supervisor) for two adult group homes in Portland. Our homes support people living with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. I have a shift that's 16 hours Fri-Sat from 6am-10pm, and I've noticed people get really excited about the idea of working two days a week, having full benefits, etc. What actually has happened is someone gets hired, is stoked for a month or two, and then suddenly burns out. I consider my primary job to be keeping my staff feeling supported, not burned out, and feeling confident to work autonomously. I really care about them and am really sad about the recent loss. Obviously I havent given much detail about the care supports, other staff, what it's ACTUALLY like to work under me. Typically however, we have the highest staffing of all the homes. Our recruiter is a fool so…

Why waste the candidate time and bother doing the interview?

I had on over the phone interview 2 weeks prior and the manager said i was gonna meet other supervisors over zoom. The interview time comes. I was so stressed and worried and wanted really to get the job and practiced interview questions. The interview starts and there is only the manager i spoke with and one other supervisor, no supervisors. The same manger asked me the same 2 question i answered over the phone. “Why do you want to join us and speak about your work history”. Then they asked me if i had any questions for them. They other supervisor just sat there quietly till the manager pushed them to ask. The interview that was supposed to be 30min ended in 10 min. Most of it me asking them to show that i have interest. Like they at least could act like they were are interested. Ask some…

Emotional blackmail for overtime

While we’re all busy working, I have a manager that comes around and ask us if we would like to do an overtime shift. Generally it is to replace a sick call or there’s been a change in demand. This is perfectly reasonable to me. What I do not think is reasonable however, is the way my manager goes about it. When people decline to do overtime she says stuff like: “Oh you don’t want to help out your team?” “Okay that’s your choice, but it’s not fair on the one or two people who are always having to do the overtime.” Sometimes I just say no to spite her manipulative attempts to make us feel bad. I feel like there are so many things wrong with this situation. For example, why don’t you hire more staff, why don’t you stop contributing to a toxic workplace culture so people want…
