Ive been living in the suburbs of Atlanta since 2001 and everything you said is true. My mom has been out of work for years. The say shes either overqualified or dont want her(Im guessing because of her age 60's but able bodied). The traffic is horrible. Where i live it takes my bf an hour to get to work and its 11 miles away. The schools are horrible unless you move into a white/asian neighborhood like I did. Buying a home in this area is out of the question. Atlanta living is a lot harder than people put off. Love and hip hop is not real. Idk why people think everybody lives in luxury. They are living in expensive rentals that the show is paying for. Believe me.....I know sone of the folks.
That last part, you know some of the folks, now that's deep...….. I'm sure some of them people you know personally on that show has told you all kinds of stories about that LHH franchise. I would love to know personally LOL
At the end of the day, if you wanna move to Atlanta, you need to have an ENTREPRENEURIAL mindset OR own your own business. PERIOD! I'm tired of people talking about the job market and all that. Atlanta will eat you alive if you just expect to find a job, becuase yes the job market is bad and there aren't enough of them HENCE, you need to be able to start something on your own. People think of Atlanta and are disappointed because it's not what they THOUGHT.
Exactly and people still come down here for a weekend and decide to move. No plan, no skills, and plenty of problems. Then get made when it doesn't work after a year of trying.
Ophelia so what's a good market out there? For owning/starting buisness. Here in cali it's like all foreigners taking over. Making blacks leave to whatever state. I'm just hearing ATL mostly.
Kinshay Shafra Please please PLEASE don't come down here just bc it's Black people here. Alot of them have zero resources, no plan, and hella personal problems. It's not like how it was back in the 90s. They are lying to you.
Man yea I'm not trying to especially people like you telling it how it is. But Cali is just extreme cost,high maintanence living, everyone thinks they're rich here. The bay area is The most expensive part of cali other then Hollywood hills and parts of LA. The cost drove us to the boring hot valley or the desert lol.
I live in FLA don't ever use a employment agency they'll send you to a company that is trouble and will go out of business or relocate to Mexico in 2 or 3 years. If you want to make a good living get a CDL that takes little time Plumbing, electrician.
So true....Just so you know even professionals moving to Atlanta, Georgia has difficulty too. They don’t respect your degree. It’s who you know I believe. You on point they only wants to hire you temporary.
I am from Memphis, and lived in Atlanta briefly in 2000, then from 2004-2006.Atlanta is a BEAST.DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE $10, 000 SAVED, or KNOW SOMEONE WITH CONNECTIONS, and preferably have a PLACE TO STAY BEFORE YOU GET THERE.Atlanta is NO JOKE.I thought about returning (I live in Nashville now), but I don't think so.Atlanta has a very SINISTER ENERGY.
What's that supposed to mean??😂 I live in the 901 and if u didn't know Its one of the most dangerous cities in the US. Atlanta and Memphis are both predominantly African American. Nashville isn't as far as I know. I would want to move to ATL for the film industry.
You not go make it in Atlanta with 10,000 dollars. I'm glad I move out of Atlanta cause the job market sucks plus, the cost of living is going up. When I stayed down there the people are rude they don't wanna get money with you and do positive things and most of the people are superficial. Atlanta is a party city that's why when people watch these bullshit ass shows like Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Real Housewives of Atlanta made people believe the hype about Atlanta just to come to live their lifestyle. November this year will mark three years I left there no regrets. I'm doing good and better getting ready to travel to California in the fall.
@@timahawk3220 I mean I’ve known people with less than 5K who went out to cities like Atlanta and NYC and were able to make it work. It’s just a combination of hustle and luck, I believe.
Amen Amen Amen Brother. Man, I agree with you a thousand times. Sometimes it doesn't even matter what you know (education) or how much experience you have, but who you know. I give up and working on moving. Moved down here because my wife had an incredible opportunity, so I had to quit my job and sale our house to even come down here from TN. You're telling the truth. All I have to say, after 3 years of this, we're leaving.
Ever try applying to the post office? May not be what you're looking for, but the starting pay is decent. To make moves here you have to start somewhere.
They've been trying to get rid of that Dept for a long time. If Republicans get their way and they usually do, they will. Don't plan on retiring off the Post Office.
I didnt like the constant smacking and bowl hit by spoon noises very distracting and there are jobs in Atlanta it sounds like yall gave up too easy not to mention that place yall living in looks nice
Look into computer sciences. They need people bad and u can get a job anywhere paying $75-110K easily. Plus, in a lot of cases u don't really need a degree.
Houston seems to be the new ATL...more affordable and job friendlier than ATL. Seems the only people who are making it in ATL are rappers, pro athletes and reality stars. Start your own business young brotha,
Houston ain't shit like Atlanta it's only 1/4 Black. Houston caters to Hispanics period. They are blocking the job market and making it only for bilingual ppl. The Hispanics run the police department, fire department and are all up in the politics of the city. The historical black neighborhoods have been gentrified till there's only 1 black area holding on. Houston is a great place to get money and go back home. Houston has a black mayor but he's a sellout. I'm a native.
lmaooooo you dont get it do you. It is 'who you know" and if they want to hire you. Im not gonna hire anybody i dont like. THat why black males are least likely to be hried by white men as assistance. you feel me lol. all the gay males in these office jobs arent there by accident.
Somehow someone put the word out to black folks that Atlanta was a great place to move to. Its always a good idea to visit a place first before you pack up your whole life and just move. My friend moved there and like you said she never found a decent job. Dont believe the hype. More negatives than positives
The big problem with Atlanta is that it has been heavily invaded by people from the East and West Coasts. They have trampled over Atlanta's genteel, southern hospitality and welcoming friendliness. Atlanta is no longer that way. It has fast become a hostile rat race, in which people no longer care for one another -- the way they used to do back in the day. I have only spent one hour in Atlanta in my lifetime (between airplane flights), and that was more than enough for me. Next time, I'll stay at the airport and mind my business. The great city of Atlanta has become a joke! Pity!
I moved there in 1993, worked for a temp agency, worked hard and didn’t complain, raised 2 Kids and am now a CEO. You’re young, get your skills and don’t quit. You can do it in the ATL too! Just suck it up and get to work. You are our future. Man up!!!
Start your job. Think outside the box. Sell tshirts, detail RVs , landscaping, arts and crafts, interiors, exteriors designing, painting, barbering, nail techs, hell hot dog stand with a twist. The same energy you are welling to put in on another mans company start your own with that same energy. I believe in you now go out and believe in yourself
Start a small business that's the only way you will make it a job is not going to cut it in Atlanta I'm just saying I lived there for 10years and I'm here to tell you I had a small business that's the only way you were going to get by forget a job.
Been in Atlanta since 2000. To ALL you new COMERS! If you don’t have a degree in Technology or healthcare FORGET IT! Those are the only jobs that pay 60k and up. Everything else pays garbage. Get a degree or go home! 🤷🏽♂️
Don't move to Florida unless your Hispanic. They moved even more Of the hurricane victims from Puerto Rico to Florida. Every job wants you to be bilingual. They racist in FL. If I move to Atlanta I want to be successful as a Entrepreneur first.
When you move to any state, you have to have a plan. Most people who look for jobs and arent successful at it finding one, are looking for certain types of job. You have to be willing to clean up shit if you are desperate to have a paycheck. Im not trying to be mean, however some folks are more driven than others. Its like folks who move to California hoping to get discovered, but end up out on the streets, while too embarrassed and ignorant to go back home, or focus on a regular life. Many folks have giant dreams but are not ready for the challenge, life dose not come easy!!
I grew up in ATL (born in Cali). If u don't have family Connections in the south then u will have a rough time because u will be steered in the wrong direction constantly. I love the ATL and can't wait to get back there but I'm real about it at the same time. I make my home outside the perimeter (Powder Springs stand up) because in the city it's too expensive. Quiet is kept, ever since I was a youngin growing up in the 80's in ATL, the native Georgians never liked outsiders but they have a nice way about not letting u know about it, it's just real subtle and low-key until one day ur making a video about why u don't like ATL. If u move to ATL, remember to respect everybody, make connections fast, find somewhere outside the perimeter (if ur not stacked), and understand the old rules still apply. Sweet Tea anyone?
Carolyn Ekuka- YEEEEEAHHHH!!....Brownsville rd & hwy 278 all day long. I miss my little may berry/Andy Griffith/Gomer Pyle small town......lolol. I miss riding my 10 speed on the silver comet trail, man, GA on my mind errrrrrday.
You have to be creative I'm from Jersey and at 1 time I was selling cardboard I was making $5,000 a month stop telling yourself you needed a degree no you don't you just have to be creative think outside the box use your mind
Local stores have to pay to get rid of it they pay companies to come pick it up go to the local stores and ask them if you can have it you'll take it for free then bring it to the recycling places there are some who will pay you in cash for it and just some who will make you wait for a whole month for a check it's just like collecting metal cardboard is better because you can always find cardboard
If you want to live in your car move to the ATL. If you want to be messed with by cops move to ATL. If you want to sweat your ass off move to the ATL. If you want to be surrounded by Patel's move to the ATL. Worst place I've ever lived in.
People been saying this for years about Atlanta, I be in shock people didn't know this before moving. If you're not highly educated with in-demand degree(s), a college student, or successful entrepreneur ... do not move to Atlanta. Visit and take yo ass to a city where's there's a better economy and there's no EXTREME overcrowding. Atlanta has simply been unable to keep up with the unreal number of black people wanting to move there b/c there show is filmed there or they like to party ... just ridiculous.
You have to live here for 5 years before you a resident apply for financial aid ITS SICK!!! YOU RIGHT YOU CANT TRUST THESE PEOPLE ITS LIKE A MODERN DAY PLANTATION.YOU NEED A CERTIFICATE FOR EVERYTHING-GGGGGGGGG ITS SICK! AND THESE BIG ASS WATER BUGS, & YEAH THEY DO BREAK IN YOUR CARS IN THE PARKING LOT YOU WORK.
Why don't you get a degree? I work through a temp agency and I keep a job I've been here for 20 years. Agencies also offer medical insurance just like direct hires. I work through Randstadt and I drive lift equipment, I keep employment because I have a skill set. How far do you expect to get in the world with no skills?
I have live in Atlanta since 1980 when my pops retired from the Army. I agree with everything you said! It didn't used to be like this. After I graduated High School in 1986, jobs were plentiful. After I got out of the Marines in 1992, jobs were still plentiful AND they paid well because of the Tech boom. You didn't have to have a Master Degree to get a job. You didn't have to have the top certification in your field to get a job (My field was Network Administration, top cert was Network+ or CCNA. Now it's CCIE at a minimum). Now you can't have any break in employment, at all. Something happened...I haven't worked a salaried job here in Atlanta since 2005 and I haven't worked a part-time job since 2011. I am only fortunate that I get some money from my VA disability and I live with my mother.
I hear a lot about people wanting working for others. Working for others almost never work out for the worker. Start your own business. Georgia make it easy for a person to run a business. I don't care where you from in America or where you live you should always try to mind your own business instead of working for anyone it only makes sense. Another thing makes sense is people are wasteful and they spending money being consumers at restaurants and everything instead of trying to grow their own garden and raise their own food and be healthy. Everybody see life differently so you just got to do what's best for you to survive but there are ways that you can survive in Atlanta or any other parts of Georgia if you get in where you fit in.
Georgia is hungry for more business stop search create business is a gold mine field in georgia. I m from Augusta and I learn when I lived in Charlotte nc. Towns in georgia are stepping into a rise because of less competition than Atlanta. A smart business decision and if have degrees then start a business in towns. Augusta wants more detainment real estate restaurants and services. Its growing fast in these fields. So pay attention to the growth opportunity in towns. Atlanta is overwhelm looking for work when there's too many people bundle up in that city of little room.
If you're rich, then Atlanta may be the place for you. Atlanta is for the rich. They have beautiful homes there. I'm rich myself, and I wouldn't live in Atlanta. I live in NYC. And yes education is important. I possess a Doctorate Degree in Divinity, a Doctorate Degree in Religious Science, and a PhD in Religion. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I went to school for the education to "build my own brand," not to go and work for someone else. If you wanna be rich, never take advice from someone less successful than yourself 😉😊💯✔
Aha! I lived in Atlanta from 02/1996 to 05/1998 moved Chicago BUT my job paid for my relocation and my being from the North? I never knew our race broke down to mentalities, 'black, colored and nigga,' and it was harder for me to learn to communicate with them than back when I dealt with the language barriors of when I was in the Army for 3 years and was overseas in Frankfurt, West Germany! I under stood those Foreigners than I did in the people of the South but my move from Chicago was a job advance opportunity of a life time, but my job put me in the front of 9 Southern States and I had to fact those people! Working for HUD in the Program Area of, “Office of Fair Housing,’ a/k/a which was the Federal version of Welfare Housing because I got 20 cases at the start of the week and out of 20 cases, ’14 would be Section-8, 4 may be Public Housing and the rest? If I’m lucky will be a working-class person.” Strange thing that people who lives off the system generationally had the most problems? How can they have problems and not have to pay for shit man? The stories I could tell you! Dealing with 9 Southern States of Black people and it absolutely blew my mind! MLK was born and raised down there? Really! The social able side of Atlanta was great back then, 'I don't know about now,' but the people I met outside of work was great! And I lived through the before, during and after of the Olympics, and 3 Freak nicks and by the time I got to 1998? It was time for me to move on and I got blessed again and got selected for the same kind of job but in Philadelphia which I stayed 5 years then back to Chicago for another 5 and retired at the age of 50! And why? Black women! The more they took away the job we were paid to do the more our jobs turned into, ‘other duties assigned,’ a/k/a expecting me to be a wet nurse, a counselor, a social worker, a physiotherapist, bilingual and all other abuse to come! They could not have put enough $.0,’ behind $I bill for me to face those bitches one more dammed day! I retired in 2007 and if I was still working? I’d be making $123,00.00 and again! They could not have paid me enough to face those bitches! Since retirement and now being a private citizen life has been grand! Just to show you how god provides when one does good in life towards the worst of the worst from job, to family to friends and I’ve been able to thin the heard within my life! Now my blessing! Back in the year 2001 I was working and living in Philadelphia and I was a GS-12 and the government Grade Scales a/k/a went from a GS-1 to a GS15 and I made it up to the Grade-12 but they had job openings for Grade 13’s but the Agency, “HUD,” wanted to hire from the outside to raise the number of employees they had but instead of promoting us GS-12’s they wanted to bring the new hires in, expect for us who did the job to mentor new higher then ultimately promote them to Grade 13’s over us GS-12.’ The union was not having that shit, so it was on so we who are/was a part of that lawsuit stand to get back pay from the year 2001 to currently which is 2018 and 3 months! After all those years HUD wants to now settle the law suit! 16 plus years of recalculation of benefits to pay difference all with interest due! Man, you have not seen no $Dollar$ figures until the government owes you? $Shit$, but in life we have to tolerate as much as we can to pay our bills. So, I have a lot of relatives living all other ATL and I plan on visiting them from time to time and my being from the City of Chicago and best believe, 'I've learned to be a real lethal weapon on my own rights,' so bitches who's out to do crimes, etc., they got to bring an ass to get one! Good luck to all wherever they live at! That crazy shit shows in TV relating to, 'Stars,' as they are called is for the birds and I thank them for the entertainment they provide acting dammed fools! Such as life! Aha! PS.: The cheapest place to live is a Mobile Home Park! Most of the people who lives in the one I reside in, ‘has cars that cost more than their mobile homes,’ so something to check out folks because relocating, finding you a mobile home to live in and a town which has a lot of police stations, restaurants, factories and/or Hospitals! You’ll always have a job because people get sick, people get hungry and people fuck up and get locked up, so those jobs are forever in comparison to the temp agency’s etc. So, head up people! Heads up! PS.: I live in the Midwest! 100 plus miles West of Chicago and? And to be honest these white folks really don’t want our black ass’s down here not because we are bad people? It’s some of our race member who fucks up but if you live in a town long enough? Law Enforcement get’s use to seeing you and ultimately, they know WHO the bad ones are and in that case! We don’t look as much as alike as you’d think? Good luck to you all!
Atlanta is over saturated with what’s called transplants .. folks that came from somewhere else basically not natives...The place also was overdeveloped in 80’s and 90’s .. They overbuilt on homes...There is potential but something has to change with how things are being ran by office ! Also employment is at Will. That’s the state again smh
Ok in the world today presentation and illusion are everything. You might not like it and it might not be fair but the fact remains presentation and illusion are everything. Dude what you say in this video has the strong ring of truth to it. But your presentation of both self and your content reinforces the most negative black stereotypes possible for those who don't know you. Some people would look at your presentation immediately see the poor black negro too tired to hold his head up without resting it on his hands. Your delivery which did not sound assertive or authoritative. The clanging spoons, bowls and other distractions suggest your life is unstructured ruled by chaos. You are heard chewing food and slurping whatever as you talk with presents you in an overly familiar way. Your general presentation is one lacking, culture or decorum. The fact that your video was so distracting it suggests an ill mannered nature, You don't have soft skills, like manners and culture hence your affect is harsh making you a poor fit for any business that wanted to present an air of sophistication to their customers. You think I'm trying to put you down and no I am not. I think deep down you are a good and honorable man who wants a good job paying a living wage. The problem is most jobs today in 2018 require you to have a more polished public face. Your presentation of self is WAY TOO CASUAL! Casual is nice when at home or at a party but the cadence of your voice, to the way you present yourself is painfully casual as if you don't take things seriously enough. Nobody gives you anything. Today to get ahead you must be aggressive not in a fighting hood rate way. You must be aggressive in planning and strategy. You have to market yourself as a commodity. You have to create your work persona as a brand that defines you as the unique solution to a potential employers problems. You must create yourself as a brand unique among your peers. Just like there are watches and there is the Rolex! Rolex ain't nothing but another watch but when you say Rolex most folk know thats something special among watches. This video is presents you in a way as to suggest you are nothing special which is why I have the experience you do. I live in Baltimore and it is hell here too. There are so many black men in your same situation here. They suffer for many of the same reasons you do. I am a black man living in Baltimore yet I do very well because; I've learned to market myself. I pay close attention to managing and updating my brand keeping it fresh and interesting. Finally you need to stop the pity party because YOU SIR HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE GREAT! The ONLY thing holding you back is that you don't believe in yourself. Your heart, your mind and your soul if hobbled by STINKIN THINKIN! You can be great sir. The problem is not Atlanta the problem is you lack faith in you! No place welcomes you with open arms. I've lived or visited many places in this USA and world. When so many people saw this crippled little old bent up cock eyed, cerebral palsied, autistic man walking their way many were predisposed to hate me. I was afraid but I forged ahead. I presented myself with a vigor and a self confidence that was in time infectious. I love myself as God first loved me. I spread the abundant joy that God gave me. I try to have so much joy in my heart it is impossible for the most wicked to steal it all. In your face deep below all that pain you have some joy and you won't succeed till you let go of that pain and failure and embrace the true joys God gave you to share in life. Our true joys will bring us profits in time. You are a good man never forget that!
Hey Bro Im from Jersey I moved to Upstate Sc 8 months ago its been somewhat ok, Try Greenville Sc or Simpsonville Sc. Hope everything works out ma dude!
It’s always hard in the beginning, but it gets better young man. Just like you wrote down the Pro’s & Con’s, write down your goals...short term, & long term. There’s something about getting thoughts out of your mind and on paper that makes them manifest. You both had the wherewithal to move from Virginia to Georgia, so I am sure you have what it takes to be successful. While you continue to look for work or move back to Virginia; think about what you love to do & somehow turn it into a business. God Bless you both. 😊 Ask God to lead you, He will.
Seems like an intelligent young couple. I wish them well. Young people please Go to College!!! It’s very very very Important! Education is something that no one can take away from you.
That's the problem right there. Older Black ppl pushed Education on the masses now at the end of the day ppl with degrees cant find work because we fail for the okeedoke. We should have been pushing both skills. Skills is what they can't take away from you.
Try Jacksonville FL, they have plenty Jobs, It's alot of people that drinks, So They have work. People are pleasantly Ok, Fresh Food, They have their moments, You n Yours consider it. We know how DMV area is, People snobby bad, Very Short with you, No where to Breathe, unless you move to Maryland, outside that area, Yeah your certificate helpful, But I'm pretty sure Commonwealth is High, Fredericksburg VA is ok. Places need to be people friendly,
Yes, that's right! Atlanta is a great city for professionals. I have been here all my life and most natives are doing doing well; honestly. I have had two homes, and two businesses and working on another one. It is also a city where you have to do a lot of networking with people that are established. Yes, the traffic is awesome, but I haven't lived in the city for many years now and the suburbs are the best for living, schools, and traffic. I made a video on this same topic. I hope things work out for you guys. Please feel free to send me a message on you tube if I can be of any support. Take care.😃💛
Phyllis Brown I'm sorry miss Brown but the vast majority of blacks in Atlanta are living in poverty. blacks who are well off are in the minority. the job market in atlanta is horrible the wages suck. for a city that is majority black there aren't a lot of black own businesses. this city is not a black mecca I'm sorry to have to break it to you.
I believe it's a bot because that's a lie! He also forgot to mention another con... how long it takes for permanent jobs to get in contact with you after you apply. By the time they get back to you, your usually already working somewhere and DON'T WANT TO RISK leaving because you know how hard it was to get the job you have in the first place. The environment and way of thinking is so slow in Georgia it's ridiculous. He said their are a lot of snakes, TRUE! Very closed minded people. They go to church each Sunday but happen to be the most judgmental and hypocritical of them all! They won't admit it though, smh. Poverty is ramped throughout the state. So many people donate plasma and go to other means just to get some change in their pocket so they can get by each week. Especially in the smaller cities around the state. Slavery mentallity in 2018.
Bren Williams Sounds like I offended you and that wasn't the point. I was born and raised here. We grew up seeing Blacks make a way for themselves here while dealing with heavy racism. After most of the Blacks left the south to go up north, our parents stayed down and built for themselves. They were working career jobs and building businesses, not working temp jobs. So understand for those of us that are from here, alot of these videos sound like personal excuses of why they cant succeed in life. I'm not sure of these people that you know that have degrees working part-time, but that's a personal issue for them, not an indication of this city. All I'm saying is this isn't the city to move to if you don't have several skills, an education, and a plan for yourself. It's not the fake Hollywood you see on tv but it's also not a place to be on your grind.
That's why too many northerners imagine moving to a new state and run into persons already know I knew people born and raised in GA and claim they would never go back
this nigga looking for a factory job everyone looks for those unskilled jobs u have to be a professional with the right degree to make it here u can't move down here with just a highschool diploma
Again ppl have told the world anyone can make it in Atl and with the bare necessities. So when ppl get down there and it's not what they thought it's fucked up. He has the right to be discouraged. I know these ppl have painted us as super human but it's a normal response.
This is a good video. True ideal factual shit that can have an effect on people's cost of living. I'm glad he didn't choose the cheaper route and start going in on like the type of people living there like the gays, lesbians, or attacked the health part of it like HIV/AIDS. I notice a lot of people take that route and try to bash and talk down on those things when it's no laughing matter and so disrespectful when literally that can happen in any city or state
Thanks for sharing your story about ATL. Would you like to barter with me? I can offer room & board and a stipend in exchange to stay with my elderly mom, attend school at FAMU or FSU and assist me in setting up the property as an "assisted living business", "Adult Day Care or who knows the possibilities are endless"? Research Tallahassee and other options before you go back home. This offer is to you and your partner...
Why is it only Black People and not White People telling Black People not to move to Atlanta. Are Blacks being told to tell other Blacks this. No one is saying don't move to New York, Kentucky, LA, etc. Get education, your own business and get a job.
MedusaGold exactly! The client pays what the agency charges and staffing agencies pays you a rate per hour and they get their cut because what the worker sees is usually 1/2 of the client fees.
Don’t move to Atlanta if you don’t have a job and you can avoid all the drama.
Like you
Exactly, have an education have Skills have some get up and go about yourself
ITS WHO YOU KNOW WAT YOU KNOW
Ive been living in the suburbs of Atlanta since 2001 and everything you said is true. My mom has been out of work for years. The say shes either overqualified or dont want her(Im guessing because of her age 60's but able bodied). The traffic is horrible. Where i live it takes my bf an hour to get to work and its 11 miles away. The schools are horrible unless you move into a white/asian neighborhood like I did. Buying a home in this area is out of the question. Atlanta living is a lot harder than people put off. Love and hip hop is not real. Idk why people think everybody lives in luxury. They are living in expensive rentals that the show is paying for. Believe me.....I know sone of the folks.
That last part, you know some of the folks, now that's deep...….. I'm sure some of them people you know personally on that show has told you all kinds of stories about that LHH franchise. I would love to know personally LOL
Janelle Scott I believe you. Don't believe Atlanta Hoysewives and Love ans Hip. All fake.
Temp agency=Legal pimping
Kevin Dee So true! Straight pimping people.
At the end of the day, if you wanna move to Atlanta, you need to have an ENTREPRENEURIAL mindset OR own your own business. PERIOD! I'm tired of people talking about the job market and all that. Atlanta will eat you alive if you just expect to find a job, becuase yes the job market is bad and there aren't enough of them HENCE, you need to be able to start something on your own. People think of Atlanta and are disappointed because it's not what they THOUGHT.
Exactly and people still come down here for a weekend and decide to move. No plan, no skills, and plenty of problems. Then get made when it doesn't work after a year of trying.
Ophelia so what's a good market out there? For owning/starting buisness. Here in cali it's like all foreigners taking over. Making blacks leave to whatever state. I'm just hearing ATL mostly.
GA I mean. But ATL is the most and only name I hear if someone mentions the south.
Kinshay Shafra Please please PLEASE don't come down here just bc it's Black people here. Alot of them have zero resources, no plan, and hella personal problems. It's not like how it was back in the 90s. They are lying to you.
Man yea I'm not trying to especially people like you telling it how it is. But Cali is just extreme cost,high maintanence living, everyone thinks they're rich here. The bay area is The most expensive part of cali other then Hollywood hills and parts of LA. The cost drove us to the boring hot valley or the desert lol.
I live in FLA don't ever use a employment agency they'll send you to a company that is trouble and will go out of business or relocate to Mexico in 2 or 3 years. If you want to make a good living get a CDL that takes little time Plumbing, electrician.
So true....Just so you know even professionals moving to Atlanta, Georgia has difficulty too. They don’t respect your degree. It’s who you know I believe. You on point they only wants to hire you temporary.
Patrice M Foster Yep. It's so sad. They don't respect your degree or work experience.
I'm born and raised in Atlanta. Atlanta is for hustlers. You come here you gotta be on it 💯
Zone6ZoneSix u a zone 6 nigga? Pyrex whippa ,Louis v slippers
Hustlers that’s funny.
Zone6ZoneSix Atlanta is for scammers and con artist. PERIOD. Wake up!
I am from Memphis, and lived in Atlanta briefly in 2000, then from 2004-2006.Atlanta is a BEAST.DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE $10, 000 SAVED, or KNOW SOMEONE WITH CONNECTIONS, and preferably have a PLACE TO STAY BEFORE YOU GET THERE.Atlanta is NO JOKE.I thought about returning (I live in Nashville now), but I don't think so.Atlanta has a very SINISTER ENERGY.
Kimerie Tate Have you thought about moving back to Memphis? Are there a lot of black people in Nashville?
What's that supposed to mean??😂
I live in the 901 and if u didn't know Its one of the most dangerous cities in the US. Atlanta and Memphis are both predominantly African American. Nashville isn't as far as I know.
I would want to move to ATL for the film industry.
You not go make it in Atlanta with 10,000 dollars. I'm glad I move out of Atlanta cause the job market sucks plus, the cost of living is going up. When I stayed down there the people are rude they don't wanna get money with you and do positive things and most of the people are superficial. Atlanta is a party city that's why when people watch these bullshit ass shows like Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Real Housewives of Atlanta made people believe the hype about Atlanta just to come to live their lifestyle. November this year will mark three years I left there no regrets. I'm doing good and better getting ready to travel to California in the fall.
@@lewisanderson1171 facts! He said 10k like it was something 🤣
@@timahawk3220 I mean I’ve known people with less than 5K who went out to cities like Atlanta and NYC and were able to make it work. It’s just a combination of hustle and luck, I believe.
Seriously lil bruh. Eating in a video.. one of the two could have waited..
Right 😂😂

Amen Amen Amen Brother. Man, I agree with you a thousand times. Sometimes it doesn't even matter what you know (education) or how much experience you have, but who you know. I give up and working on moving. Moved down here because my wife had an incredible opportunity, so I had to quit my job and sale our house to even come down here from TN. You're telling the truth. All I have to say, after 3 years of this, we're leaving.
Ever try applying to the post office? May not be what you're looking for, but the starting pay is decent. To make moves here you have to start somewhere.
dude that's a dead end u know how many people be applying for those post office jobs c'mon now. ya'll just be making shit up
They've been trying to get rid of that Dept for a long time. If Republicans get their way and they usually do, they will. Don't plan on retiring off the Post Office.
rock false post office not going anywhere lol
Braves Fan he ain’t making shit up and it’s not a dead in job it’s just a lot of y’all dumbasses can’t even pass the test
People are lazy...
I didnt like the constant smacking and bowl hit by spoon noises very distracting and there are jobs in Atlanta it sounds like yall gave up too easy not to mention that place yall living in looks nice
😂😂
I really hope things get better for you 🙏🏽Stay up !!!
Look into computer sciences. They need people bad and u can get a job anywhere paying $75-110K easily. Plus, in a lot of cases u don't really need a degree.
yeah or IT, but you will need a certificate. It's worth it to get though.
computer science is the answer!
Cody Banks it's the answer now but wages will drop once AI gets a foothold
Just give it time it's going to be very very expensive to live in Atlanta... taxes will go up sky high!
Houston seems to be the new ATL...more affordable and job friendlier than ATL. Seems the only people who are making it in ATL are rappers, pro athletes and reality stars. Start your own business young brotha,
Skip all that Phoenix AZ is where its at!!
Houston ain't shit like Atlanta it's only 1/4 Black. Houston caters to Hispanics period. They are blocking the job market and making it only for bilingual ppl. The Hispanics run the police department, fire department and are all up in the politics of the city. The historical black neighborhoods have been gentrified till there's only 1 black area holding on. Houston is a great place to get money and go back home. Houston has a black mayor but he's a sellout. I'm a native.
Houston ain't fake and ain't full of fake ballers
RISQUE1963 Why do you make it sound so EASY???? STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS...BULLSHIT!!!! U NEED MONEY TO MAKE MONEY
GadinelliT True
Never go wrong with truck driving and Heating and Cooling trade
as a native; i agree with the traffic and informing people to get a skill set.
Bottom line is... You have to have a certain personality type.
true shit about people in the south, how ever thats nationwide bro
Just start an internet based business.
He'd rather cry than do that
You are 💯 accurate with your assessment.
Why don't you guys go back to school. So you can qualify for those jobs
lmaooooo you dont get it do you. It is 'who you know" and if they want to hire you. Im not gonna hire anybody i dont like. THat why black males are least likely to be hried by white men as assistance. you feel me lol. all the gay males in these office jobs arent there by accident.
Somehow someone put the word out to black folks that Atlanta was a great place to move to. Its always a good idea to visit a place first before you pack up your whole life and just move. My friend moved there and like you said she never found a decent job. Dont believe the hype. More negatives than positives
The big problem with Atlanta is that it has been heavily invaded by people from the East and West Coasts. They have trampled over Atlanta's genteel, southern hospitality and welcoming friendliness. Atlanta is no longer that way. It has fast become a hostile rat race, in which people no longer care for one another -- the way they used to do back in the day. I have only spent one hour in Atlanta in my lifetime (between airplane flights), and that was more than enough for me. Next time, I'll stay at the airport and mind my business. The great city of Atlanta has become a joke! Pity!
Glad to see you were not moved by the comment section. Hope you two are better now and are getting it together. One love!
Well this video came out almost 18 months ago.... can we get an update my guy? I'm interested in where you are in life now
I moved there in 1993, worked for a temp agency, worked hard and didn’t complain, raised 2 Kids and am now a CEO. You’re young, get your skills and don’t quit. You can do it in the ATL too! Just suck it up and get to work. You are our future. Man up!!!
Start your job.
Think outside the box.
Sell tshirts, detail RVs , landscaping, arts and crafts, interiors, exteriors designing, painting, barbering, nail techs, hell hot dog stand with a twist.
The same energy you are welling to put in on another mans company start your own with that same energy.
I believe in you now go out and believe in yourself
Everything you said in this video is beyond correct. I moved to jax fl. Try it out here.
Start a small business that's the only way you will make it a job is not going to cut it in Atlanta I'm just saying I lived there for 10years and I'm here to tell you I had a small business that's the only way you were going to get by forget a job.
👍👌
Right. But that's everywhere now. At least a lot of places.
What kind of business?
Been in Atlanta since 2000. To ALL you new COMERS! If you don’t have a degree in Technology or healthcare FORGET IT! Those are the only jobs that pay 60k and up.
Everything else pays garbage. Get a degree or go home! 🤷🏽♂️
Don't move to Florida unless your Hispanic. They moved even more Of the hurricane victims from Puerto Rico to Florida. Every job wants you to be bilingual. They racist in FL. If I move to Atlanta I want to be successful as a Entrepreneur first.
77deerose What a shame. I'm from Miami and I know first hand. Cubans turning Florida back into new Spain
Lamar Azmoe I know right, hispanics took over Orlando too. I feel like a foreigner.
77deerose hey im looking to move to orlando. I am a black gay male. What are your thoughts
77deerose
@@lamarazmoe6438 Been like that for awhile now. I first went in 2004. It was like that then.
When you move to any state, you have to have a plan. Most people who look for jobs and arent successful at it finding one, are looking for certain types of job. You have to be willing to clean up shit if you are desperate to have a paycheck. Im not trying to be mean, however some folks are more driven than others. Its like folks who move to California hoping to get discovered, but end up out on the streets, while too embarrassed and ignorant to go back home, or focus on a regular life. Many folks have giant dreams but are not ready for the challenge, life dose not come easy!!
Great video on your experience on jobs there and the headache it could give u at a temp labor board job smh good u got ur money aswell
What part of VA you from I was thinking bout 🤔 moving there. You still in GA?
I grew up in ATL (born in Cali). If u don't have family Connections in the south then u will have a rough time because u will be steered in the wrong direction constantly. I love the ATL and can't wait to get back there but I'm real about it at the same time. I make my home outside the perimeter (Powder Springs stand up) because in the city it's too expensive. Quiet is kept, ever since I was a youngin growing up in the 80's in ATL, the native Georgians never liked outsiders but they have a nice way about not letting u know about it, it's just real subtle and low-key until one day ur making a video about why u don't like ATL. If u move to ATL, remember to respect everybody, make connections fast, find somewhere outside the perimeter (if ur not stacked), and understand the old rules still apply. Sweet Tea anyone?
Carolyn Ekuka- YEEEEEAHHHH!!....Brownsville rd & hwy 278 all day long. I miss my little may berry/Andy Griffith/Gomer Pyle small town......lolol. I miss riding my 10 speed on the silver comet trail, man, GA on my mind errrrrrday.
That temp thing happens to me too
Thank you for the advice.
What do you think about the water boys in Atlanta? Just wondering.
You have to be creative I'm from Jersey and at 1 time I was selling cardboard I was making $5,000 a month stop telling yourself you needed a degree no you don't you just have to be creative think outside the box use your mind
Selling cardboard ? Explain please
Local stores have to pay to get rid of it they pay companies to come pick it up go to the local stores and ask them if you can have it you'll take it for free then bring it to the recycling places there are some who will pay you in cash for it and just some who will make you wait for a whole month for a check it's just like collecting metal cardboard is better because you can always find cardboard
If you want to live in your car move to the ATL. If you want to be messed with by cops move to ATL. If you want to sweat your ass off move to the ATL.
If you want to be surrounded by Patel's move to the ATL.
Worst place I've ever lived in.
People been saying this for years about Atlanta, I be in shock people didn't know this before moving. If you're not highly educated with in-demand degree(s), a college student, or successful entrepreneur ... do not move to Atlanta. Visit and take yo ass to a city where's there's a better economy and there's no EXTREME overcrowding. Atlanta has simply been unable to keep up with the unreal number of black people wanting to move there b/c there show is filmed there or they like to party ... just ridiculous.
way too much noise with the, microwave, cups falling, bagging around...there is plenty of work, lots of home care, cleaning...lol
Work at the post office. You both can work there good money . But u gotta be flexible they gone work u if you’re not ready to work don’t apply .
You have to live here for 5 years before you a resident apply for financial aid ITS SICK!!! YOU RIGHT YOU CANT TRUST THESE PEOPLE ITS LIKE A MODERN DAY PLANTATION.YOU NEED A CERTIFICATE FOR EVERYTHING-GGGGGGGGG ITS SICK! AND THESE BIG ASS WATER BUGS, & YEAH THEY DO BREAK IN YOUR CARS IN THE PARKING LOT YOU WORK.
Why don't you get a degree? I work through a temp agency and I keep a job I've been here for 20 years. Agencies also offer medical insurance just like direct hires. I work through Randstadt and I drive lift equipment, I keep employment because I have a skill set. How far do you expect to get in the world with no skills?
You are kidding right?
Sigh
I have live in Atlanta since 1980 when my pops retired from the Army. I agree with everything you said! It didn't used to be like this. After I graduated High School in 1986, jobs were plentiful. After I got out of the Marines in 1992, jobs were still plentiful AND they paid well because of the Tech boom. You didn't have to have a Master Degree to get a job. You didn't have to have the top certification in your field to get a job (My field was Network Administration, top cert was Network+ or CCNA. Now it's CCIE at a minimum). Now you can't have any break in employment, at all. Something happened...I haven't worked a salaried job here in Atlanta since 2005 and I haven't worked a part-time job since 2011. I am only fortunate that I get some money from my VA disability and I live with my mother.
Stfu
It really depends on what type of job you looking for
Atlanta basically is for rich entrepreneurs. It's not about jobs at all. It's about investments.
💯💯💯
He just explained every major city in the USA
I hear a lot about people wanting working for others. Working for others almost never work out for the worker. Start your own business. Georgia make it easy for a person to run a business. I don't care where you from in America or where you live you should always try to mind your own business instead of working for anyone it only makes sense. Another thing makes sense is people are wasteful and they spending money being consumers at restaurants and everything instead of trying to grow their own garden and raise their own food and be healthy. Everybody see life differently so you just got to do what's best for you to survive but there are ways that you can survive in Atlanta or any other parts of Georgia if you get in where you fit in.
Georgia is hungry for more business stop search create business is a gold mine field in georgia. I m from Augusta and I learn when I lived in Charlotte nc. Towns in georgia are stepping into a rise because of less competition than Atlanta. A smart business decision and if have degrees then start a business in towns. Augusta wants more detainment real estate restaurants and services. Its growing fast in these fields. So pay attention to the growth opportunity in towns. Atlanta is overwhelm looking for work when there's too many people bundle up in that city of little room.
If you're rich, then Atlanta may be the place for you. Atlanta is for the rich. They have beautiful homes there. I'm rich myself, and I wouldn't live in Atlanta. I live in NYC. And yes education is important. I possess a Doctorate Degree in Divinity, a Doctorate Degree in Religious Science, and a PhD in Religion. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I went to school for the education to "build my own brand," not to go and work for someone else. If you wanna be rich, never take advice from someone less successful than yourself 😉😊💯✔
Bro., y’all may need to start up a business providing some type of service...
Aha! I lived in Atlanta from 02/1996 to 05/1998 moved Chicago BUT my job paid for my relocation and my being from the North? I never knew our race broke down to mentalities, 'black, colored and nigga,' and it was harder for me to learn to communicate with them than back when I dealt with the language barriors of when I was in the Army for 3 years and was overseas in Frankfurt, West Germany! I under stood those Foreigners than I did in the people of the South but my move from Chicago was a job advance opportunity of a life time, but my job put me in the front of 9 Southern States and I had to fact those people! Working for HUD in the Program Area of, “Office of Fair Housing,’ a/k/a which was the Federal version of Welfare Housing because I got 20 cases at the start of the week and out of 20 cases, ’14 would be Section-8, 4 may be Public Housing and the rest? If I’m lucky will be a working-class person.” Strange thing that people who lives off the system generationally had the most problems? How can they have problems and not have to pay for shit man? The stories I could tell you! Dealing with 9 Southern States of Black people and it absolutely blew my mind! MLK was born and raised down there? Really! The social able side of Atlanta was great back then, 'I don't know about now,' but the people I met outside of work was great! And I lived through the before, during and after of the Olympics, and 3 Freak nicks and by the time I got to 1998? It was time for me to move on and I got blessed again and got selected for the same kind of job but in Philadelphia which I stayed 5 years then back to Chicago for another 5 and retired at the age of 50! And why? Black women! The more they took away the job we were paid to do the more our jobs turned into, ‘other duties assigned,’ a/k/a expecting me to be a wet nurse, a counselor, a social worker, a physiotherapist, bilingual and all other abuse to come! They could not have put enough $.0,’ behind $I bill for me to face those bitches one more dammed day! I retired in 2007 and if I was still working? I’d be making $123,00.00 and again! They could not have paid me enough to face those bitches! Since retirement and now being a private citizen life has been grand! Just to show you how god provides when one does good in life towards the worst of the worst from job, to family to friends and I’ve been able to thin the heard within my life! Now my blessing! Back in the year 2001 I was working and living in Philadelphia and I was a GS-12 and the government Grade Scales a/k/a went from a GS-1 to a GS15 and I made it up to the Grade-12 but they had job openings for Grade 13’s but the Agency, “HUD,” wanted to hire from the outside to raise the number of employees they had but instead of promoting us GS-12’s they wanted to bring the new hires in, expect for us who did the job to mentor new higher then ultimately promote them to Grade 13’s over us GS-12.’ The union was not having that shit, so it was on so we who are/was a part of that lawsuit stand to get back pay from the year 2001 to currently which is 2018 and 3 months! After all those years HUD wants to now settle the law suit! 16 plus years of recalculation of benefits to pay difference all with interest due! Man, you have not seen no $Dollar$ figures until the government owes you? $Shit$, but in life we have to tolerate as much as we can to pay our bills. So, I have a lot of relatives living all other ATL and I plan on visiting them from time to time and my being from the City of Chicago and best believe, 'I've learned to be a real lethal weapon on my own rights,' so bitches who's out to do crimes, etc., they got to bring an ass to get one! Good luck to all wherever they live at! That crazy shit shows in TV relating to, 'Stars,' as they are called is for the birds and I thank them for the entertainment they provide acting dammed fools! Such as life! Aha! PS.: The cheapest place to live is a Mobile Home Park! Most of the people who lives in the one I reside in, ‘has cars that cost more than their mobile homes,’ so something to check out folks because relocating, finding you a mobile home to live in and a town which has a lot of police stations, restaurants, factories and/or Hospitals! You’ll always have a job because people get sick, people get hungry and people fuck up and get locked up, so those jobs are forever in comparison to the temp agency’s etc. So, head up people! Heads up! PS.: I live in the Midwest! 100 plus miles West of Chicago and? And to be honest these white folks really don’t want our black ass’s down here not because we are bad people? It’s some of our race member who fucks up but if you live in a town long enough? Law Enforcement get’s use to seeing you and ultimately, they know WHO the bad ones are and in that case! We don’t look as much as alike as you’d think? Good luck to you all!
So they leave the Midwest and the east coast and south,
A real brother....it's all good...You'll be blessed...hang in there.
These are all your personal issues brother. Atlanta is not for the faint of heart. But made for hustlers and self motivated ppl
Atlanta is over saturated with what’s called transplants .. folks that came from somewhere else basically not natives...The place also was overdeveloped in 80’s and 90’s .. They overbuilt on homes...There is potential but something has to change with how things are being ran by office ! Also employment is at Will. That’s the state again smh
What's at Will?
Ok in the world today presentation and illusion are everything. You might not like it and it might not be fair but the fact remains presentation and illusion are everything. Dude what you say in this video has the strong ring of truth to it. But your presentation of both self and your content reinforces the most negative black stereotypes possible for those who don't know you. Some people would look at your presentation immediately see the poor black negro too tired to hold his head up without resting it on his hands. Your delivery which did not sound assertive or authoritative. The clanging spoons, bowls and other distractions suggest your life is unstructured ruled by chaos. You are heard chewing food and slurping whatever as you talk with presents you in an overly familiar way. Your general presentation is one lacking, culture or decorum. The fact that your video was so distracting it suggests an ill mannered nature, You don't have soft skills, like manners and culture hence your affect is harsh making you a poor fit for any business that wanted to present an air of sophistication to their customers.
You think I'm trying to put you down and no I am not. I think deep down you are a good and honorable man who wants a good job paying a living wage. The problem is most jobs today in 2018 require you to have a more polished public face. Your presentation of self is WAY TOO CASUAL! Casual is nice when at home or at a party but the cadence of your voice, to the way you present yourself is painfully casual as if you don't take things seriously enough. Nobody gives you anything. Today to get ahead you must be aggressive not in a fighting hood rate way. You must be aggressive in planning and strategy. You have to market yourself as a commodity. You have to create your work persona as a brand that defines you as the unique solution to a potential employers problems. You must create yourself as a brand unique among your peers.
Just like there are watches and there is the Rolex! Rolex ain't nothing but another watch but when you say Rolex most folk know thats something special among watches. This video is presents you in a way as to suggest you are nothing special which is why I have the experience you do. I live in Baltimore and it is hell here too. There are so many black men in your same situation here. They suffer for many of the same reasons you do. I am a black man living in Baltimore yet I do very well because; I've learned to market myself. I pay close attention to managing and updating my brand keeping it fresh and interesting.
Finally you need to stop the pity party because YOU SIR HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE GREAT! The ONLY thing holding you back is that you don't believe in yourself. Your heart, your mind and your soul if hobbled by STINKIN THINKIN! You can be great sir. The problem is not Atlanta the problem is you lack faith in you! No place welcomes you with open arms. I've lived or visited many places in this USA and world. When so many people saw this crippled little old bent up cock eyed, cerebral palsied, autistic man walking their way many were predisposed to hate me. I was afraid but I forged ahead. I presented myself with a vigor and a self confidence that was in time infectious. I love myself as God first loved me. I spread the abundant joy that God gave me. I try to have so much joy in my heart it is impossible for the most wicked to steal it all.
In your face deep below all that pain you have some joy and you won't succeed till you let go of that pain and failure and embrace the true joys God gave you to share in life. Our true joys will bring us profits in time. You are a good man never forget that!
That's real and deep !
👏👏👏 Awesomeness!
One of the best comments I ever read here bro INSPIRATION
It's a youtube video not a job interview or PowerPoint presentation for a fortune 5 company. smh
Blacks should build their own businesses.
IF THEY CAN TRUST EACH OTHER STICK TOGETHER AS ONE STAY COMMITTED DEDICATED TO THE MAIN PLAN FOUNDATION SUCCESS
Need. Trade my wife does hair I do heating & cooling
I haven't had a problem i had a back up plan
All you need is faith and gratitude.

Hey Bro Im from Jersey I moved to Upstate Sc 8 months ago its been somewhat ok, Try Greenville Sc or Simpsonville Sc. Hope everything works out ma dude!
Ty Jamison Greenville is booming right now with jobs.. BMW expanding and the cost of living is cheap
I hear you but im not hearing if you haven't worked in a year you dont want to work period
Bro. Virginia is a Southern State. lol!!!
But what you said about Atlanta is true.
It’s always hard in the beginning, but it gets better young man. Just like you wrote down the Pro’s & Con’s, write down your goals...short term, & long term. There’s something about getting thoughts out of your mind and on paper that makes them manifest.
You both had the wherewithal to move from Virginia to Georgia, so I am sure you have what it takes to be successful. While you continue to look for work or move back to Virginia; think about what you love to do & somehow turn it into a business. God Bless you both. 😊
Ask God to lead you, He will.
this needs more viewssss
I'm in Louisiana and see jobs requiring bachelors degrees for a $12 per hour job!!! No jobs here either.
Everything ain't what it seems
Seems like an intelligent young couple. I wish them well. Young people please Go to College!!! It’s very very very Important! Education is something that no one can take away from you.
That's the problem right there. Older Black ppl pushed Education on the masses now at the end of the day ppl with degrees cant find work because we fail for the okeedoke. We should have been pushing both skills. Skills is what they can't take away from you.
college got me in debt
Do a Kellogg's commercials
Why on earth are you blaming Atlanta when you have no marketable skills? That shit's on you, man. Why don't you move somewhere else?
TheCodeWright THANK YOU! people complain it’s the place they live but really it’s their lack skills
Try Jacksonville FL, they have plenty Jobs, It's alot of people that drinks, So They have work. People are pleasantly Ok, Fresh Food, They have their moments, You n Yours consider it. We know how DMV area is, People snobby bad, Very Short with you, No where to Breathe, unless you move to Maryland, outside that area, Yeah your certificate helpful, But I'm pretty sure Commonwealth is High, Fredericksburg VA is ok. Places need to be people friendly,
Get Your CDL
Studying now
Duh
Thank You
What's new bro , how is it going ?
Yes, that's right! Atlanta is a great city for professionals. I have been here all my life and most natives are doing doing well; honestly. I have had two homes, and two businesses and working on another one. It is also a city where you have to do a lot of networking with people that are established. Yes, the traffic is awesome, but I haven't lived in the city for many years now and the suburbs are the best for living, schools, and traffic. I made a video on this same topic. I hope things work out for you guys. Please feel free to send me a message on you tube if I can be of any support. Take care.😃💛
Phyllis Brown I'm sorry miss Brown but the vast majority of blacks in Atlanta are living in poverty. blacks who are well off are in the minority. the job market in atlanta is horrible the wages suck. for a city that is majority black there aren't a lot of black own businesses. this city is not a black mecca I'm sorry to have to break it to you.
I believe it's a bot because that's a lie! He also forgot to mention another con... how long it takes for permanent jobs to get in contact with you after you apply. By the time they get back to you, your usually already working somewhere and DON'T WANT TO RISK leaving because you know how hard it was to get the job you have in the first place. The environment and way of thinking is so slow in Georgia it's ridiculous. He said their are a lot of snakes, TRUE! Very closed minded people. They go to church each Sunday but happen to be the most judgmental and hypocritical of them all! They won't admit it though, smh. Poverty is ramped throughout the state. So many people donate plasma and go to other means just to get some change in their pocket so they can get by each week. Especially in the smaller cities around the state. Slavery mentallity in 2018.
It a difference situation for everyone as far as temp it like that everywhere
Lmao yall moved here to work temp jobs?? This isn't a blue collar city. Why would you move anywhere without an actual career in place??
Bren Williams Sounds like I offended you and that wasn't the point. I was born and raised here. We grew up seeing Blacks make a way for themselves here while dealing with heavy racism. After most of the Blacks left the south to go up north, our parents stayed down and built for themselves. They were working career jobs and building businesses, not working temp jobs. So understand for those of us that are from here, alot of these videos sound like personal excuses of why they cant succeed in life. I'm not sure of these people that you know that have degrees working part-time, but that's a personal issue for them, not an indication of this city. All I'm saying is this isn't the city to move to if you don't have several skills, an education, and a plan for yourself. It's not the fake Hollywood you see on tv but it's also not a place to be on your grind.
That's why too many northerners imagine moving to a new state and run into persons already know I knew people born and raised in GA and claim they would never go back
just to live life smh...
Can we get an Update?
They practice classism down here in Atlanta
Bro just start a cleaning business 💯💯
you got to many complaints homie that's why u didn't make it
this nigga looking for a factory job everyone looks for those unskilled jobs u have to be a professional with the right degree to make it here u can't move down here with just a highschool diploma
Again ppl have told the world anyone can make it in Atl and with the bare necessities. So when ppl get down there and it's not what they thought it's fucked up. He has the right to be discouraged. I know these ppl have painted us as super human but it's a normal response.
This is a good video. True ideal factual shit that can have an effect on people's cost of living. I'm glad he didn't choose the cheaper route and start going in on like the type of people living there like the gays, lesbians, or attacked the health part of it like HIV/AIDS. I notice a lot of people take that route and try to bash and talk down on those things when it's no laughing matter and so disrespectful when literally that can happen in any city or state
get the cdl
You right about the Snakes!
arlene thompson Yep. Sneaky snakes!
If the temp.agent hired you at $15.00 per hour and you. Worked 40 hours 15x40=S600.00 gross
If it's that bad . Then go back ... Where ever that was and try again ..
Maybe you need some cheese with that whine bruh. Whaaaaaa!😣😣😣😣
Thanks for sharing your story about ATL. Would you like to barter with me? I can offer room & board and a stipend in exchange to stay with my elderly mom, attend school at FAMU or FSU and assist me in setting up the property as an "assisted living business", "Adult Day Care or who knows the possibilities are endless"? Research Tallahassee and other options before you go back home. This offer is to you and your partner...
This is the same in every city. Get a degree in something, and your opportunities will increase.
Why is it only Black People and not White People telling Black People not to move to Atlanta. Are Blacks being told to tell other Blacks this. No one is saying don't move to New York, Kentucky, LA, etc. Get education, your own business and get a job.
So glad I don't live there no more doing so much better now
I live in Atlanta my whole life and I don’t have a oroblem
Too many people, not enough jobs. Sounds just like it is here in Chicago and the surrounding areas
That’s absolutely NOT how staffing firms work. They do not take a penny of “your money” - that is patently illegal.

They take your money
Follow the money bruh, not the hype!!!
