Is it possible to find work in Atlanta without a degree?
I am soon to be moving to Atlanta and would like to know if it is possible to find good work in atlanta or the surrounding areas without having a college degree? Not Mc Donalds and not minimum wage. I'm from San Francisco and have had plenty of jobs without a college degree. I work for a law firm now and make over 30,000 a year.

Yes, they have Mcdonalds too.
2 :
Of course they have a lot of minimum wage jobs in Atlanta.
3 :
If not McDonalds, there is always the post office... or you could do general production on an assembly line. Way to strive for mediocrity.

How about journalism?

Great, sounds like you're ready to roll! There are lots of Law Firms here in Atlanta. Whether you're an urbanite or a Surburbanite. Check with temporary agencies specializing in legal support jobs. I'm not sure the pay is the same, of course you area aware everything is going to be less expensive here in Atlanta, however, I suspect you can earn atleast comparable to what you were earning! Good Luck and if you'll be visting before moving check this site to book your travel, exceptional rates: www.FiveStarRoyalTravel.com Good Luck!

Sure it is depending on your experience. Just remember that Atlanta's cost of living is less than San Fran's so 30K will go a little farther here. http://www.ajcjobs.com Thats a good place to get started.

There are plenty of jobs that can be acquired without a college degree. It might be a tedious search but it can be done. Try sticking to law since you have the experience and also consider: Human Resources, Real Estate, Medical Administration Services and Administrative Services/Support. To get ahead of the game you can get a recruiter and keep your eye on job sites for openings in the area. Try web sites such as Monster, Career Builder and/or others. And the honest truth is 30K in Cali - with the high cost of living for Cali that's not really much of a salary....in other places that's comparable to 24-28K. So that's probably what you can expect to receive in offers. But that just an estimate and it depends on your experience and references. If you obtain a headhunter recruiter they might be able to pull a higher salary for you.

Looks like you're supposed to hold a license from the state of Georgia. I went to the city of Atlanta's website and was directed here: http://www.municode.com/resources/gateway.asp?pid=10376&sid=10 I searched "Atlanta electrical" and found their code. Here it is: 103.4. MANDATORY LICENSE REQUIREMENTS. (a) Only partnerships or corporations engaged in the business of electrical contracting, installation or repairing shall be entitled to a permit under this Code for such business activities where there is regularly connected with such partnership or corporation a person or persons, actually engaged in the business of electrical contracting, installation or repairing, who holds a valid Electrical or Low-Voltage Contractor's License issued by the State of Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board. (b) Only a person engaged in the business of electrical contracting, installation or repairing shall be entitled to receive a permit under this Code for such business activities where such person holds a valid Electrical or Low-Voltage Contractor's License issued by the State of Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board. (c) All work requiring a permit under this Code shall be performed by an individual, firm, or corporation holding a valid business license in the City of Atlanta. (d) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation who is not an Electrical contractor duly licensed by the State of Georgia to display a sign stating or implying that he or they are carrying on the business of this Code or fails to comply therewith or with any of the requirements thereof, shall be deemed guilty of an offense and upon conviction thereof, in the City of Atlanta Municipal Court, shall be assessed a fine of not less than $50.00 nor more than $1,000.00 and/or sentenced to no more than 60 days in the City Stockade. Where any offense continues from day to day, each day's continuance thereof shall be deemed a separate offense.

no you cant i heard all electricians from ohio are wired wrong
3 :
There may be an exemption in some states, it allows an owner to work on their own property without a license. You are prohibited from doing the work for money without the proper license. Sometimes you can "help" a neighbor do the work, if your union does not have a rule against it.
4 :
It varies from State to State. If it's for family, and you're not getting paid, you're OK most places. Some States now bar DIY electrical work. Best to ask the local inspector.
5 :
You may be able to pay a small fee and work under a locally licensed company if Atlanta doesn't permit DIY electrical. That is assuming you are still certified to work in Ohio even though you currently do not.
6 :
If he is licensed in Georgia it doesnt matter where he is from.
