<prompt> Human: When she was working she made enoigh to easily budget and be relatively comfortable. Wehave enough savings to make it the rest of this month, what steps should we start taking? Are there any assistance options I may have? What are our options for temporary work until we find something permanent? Im also very good with manueltechnical skills, are there sources of temporary labor in those areas?  <response>: This is going to sound made up, but I used to train truck drivers and if you want a job right away, get your Commercial Drivers license. There is such a need that companies will pay for your training, and pay to you go to it. If you want a job, you can have one within a week by calling most major trucking companies and asking about their training programs. They will get you working within a week or two. Thats how bad the need is for drivers right now, and its only getting worse. As long as you have your license over a year, can pass a urine drug test, and have a relatively clean driving record, they will pay for your CDL and then pay you while you go through training. Large trucking companies have such a need for drivers, they actually have several classes start each WEEK. The company I worked for would bus in new drivers twice weekly. You do a week or two of unpaid CDL training, financed by the trucking company. After you pass that, you are awarded your CDL and then enter PAID training for several weeks. After 5-8 weeks, you get your own truck and go to work at full pay. I actually was a trainer for one of these large companies for a few years. They still do it today. You can give CR England or Stevens transport a call in the morning and theyll tell you all about it. If you want to know more, just google it. There are several major trucking forums where you can talk to real truckers. Its not perfect, but I liked it, and it pays the bills. I got to see 48 states in my first 3 years.
