Don't give up and apply indiscriminately. I studied political science and started applying November of my Senior year in 2008 when the recession was in the beginning. Thought I would have a job by May graduation. It took me 450+ applications and 12 months of applying to nearly every industry to finally land a job in...sales. During 2 awful years of that, I started asking marketing and data analytics questions about the incoming sales. I eventually taught myself SQL/Python and am now a data science analyst director. You can do it!

As someone who is friends with a lot of homeless people in my area, Working at a restaurant and giving them food every night and a safe place to spend the night I got to know them well. Thank you for representing them publicly. They are people too.
Ive watched loads of these videos and theres 2 things that always strike me. First....if the homeless can have hope, the rest of us need to look at our sorry selves. And secondly.....whenever they are asked about their 3 wishes, these people with nothing will wish for something for other people. Humbled.
I am dealing now with a lawyer who sounds like she is 12. She cannot communicate at all and has no follow up skills. If he's out in Hollywood the ageism is probably worse. Try to get out of la la land if possible and you may encounter people who appreciate your experience and skills.
@MrHoppers002 "millennials (those born 1981-1994) they're hitting peak workng years now at least the oldest of the batch are 39 as of 2020. they're becoming the superviors, managers of today." Not to the extent of the prior generation. The boomers aren't retiring. Many can't afford to. So the millenials as a generation are being held by from higher paying jobs as a result. This is a vicious circle, since millenials therefore won't have money to retire, and so on. UBI is an inevitability, else the country will crumble. That's where we're at. Thanks, capitalism! (or rather crony corporatism)
@keecefly I hope something will happen to make you homeless. So you can experience it. The truth is, people like you could not handle it and would end up committing suicide or becoming a drug addict.
@@MarkWhippy just because its a terrible way to grow up doesnt mean those very kids in the broken homes didnt find happiness in the smallest of pleasures..

Older people need jobs too wtf. Do people think that everyone’s just set for retirement when you’re elderly? I am always eager to hire older people. They bring about wisdom and contribute just like everyone else
Emma W. I’m 59,believe me it really just creeps up on you age. It’s just a number but people have a preconceived idea about it. Every one gets older, every one isn’t 23 for ever. Shame employees are ageists
I was homeless off and on in my 20’s here in NY. It’s such a feeling of uncertainty, fear, all the time. Felt so uncomfortable couch surfing. Felt imposing and worthless. Slept in my car for a period of time as well. Being female, it’s doubly frightening. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
@Daryl Mixan you dont know that. I worked as senior caregiver for 10 yrs. Suddenly my feet and back wore out at 60 yo. I have been living off my meager savings since May. My ira savings are less than a year's salary & then hello to $1200/mo soc sec. soon. I always thought I'd work till i was 70 and never bought temp disability insurance. A warning to all you readers: dont assume anything about your health & get temp disability. Insurance.
For a lot of us born into poverty, it’s a hard road avoiding homelessness because we don’t have those parents to bail us out if things go sour financially. That’s the same case for some senior citizens who no longer have the safety net of family.
I have to live under siege with the police threatening to take my home of 54 years for back taxes. I will shoot the cops if they try to forcefully enter my domicile.
I couldn’t agree more. I honestly don’t know how anyone can make it without family support. I’ve taken in several teens over the last couple years to try to help them. Even young people end up homeless on a regular basis. A full time minimum wage job doesn’t cover even the basics anymore. Let alone a car or insurance. We have little to no public transit.
The problem is not having family or not, like Mary Jenkins said, your family can be poor and unable to help you or they can be violent and mean. The problem is not enough social resources against poverty to help and to give a chance to poor people to be able to achieve the same level of comfort as those who began with richer families and who have more opportunities from that position already have.
I was thinking/dreaming about a project that you build a smaller lighter version of the teardrop trailer. But make it so that you could pull it with a bike, manpower, or a vehicle. Be a you build two and get one system. Then you could sell the other one to pay for the supplies. I know it’s not an ideal solution. But it beats a tent or the sidewalk. A locking door would perhaps allow a little rest and security. And by selling one they would then become less of an eyesore or be recognizable with being homeless. A roof over your head no matter how humble gives hope. I just wish more could be done in a practical way.
@@marcelfortin7035 "The prayer of a righteous man availeth much" prayer is the direct communication with God. We have been praying for my brother who has covid he has been in the hospital for 3 weeks. Yesterday we were told hes on his way to recovery.God is the only one who can help us through anything we encounter in life. He gave us life. The breath coming into our beings when we're born comes directly from him. Just like when he made man out of his image and breathed life into Adam. He knows everything about us and how long we are to live on this earth. When we ask God for something with a sincere heart felt prayer and we've accepted him into our hearts. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. Hes our true friend and saviour.
I never thought ''age discrimination'' would catch up with me...but it did ! A man needed a production technician for his Radio Station and I applied but I was Too old, too out-of-date, too out-of-style, and ''not with it''. How do I know that.....I pursued him for 10 years....then I said ''ENOUGH''.
it’s so sick people think all homeless are drug dealers, some people can get very hurt and the hospital bills are too high for them to pay they end up in dept then homeless , it’s a sad reality
Sounds like you have no clue about anything regarding the homeless lmao People need to survive on the street and most are forced to turn to less than legal means to somehow stay alive, it has nothing to do with drug dealing being "bad" it's about survival and people will do what they need to do, if you think it's somehow not true a lot of homeless may eventually turn to illegal means after they've been on the streets for years and years you're obviously naive as shit lmao And of course that only accounts for a few people, some stay true to their morality and that in itself gives them a reason to live.
That is life I been there took me 3 year's for a company to give me a chance and I can say do to my hard work and honesty , I have been there for 7 years and been a supervisor for 2 years and the CEO loves me. One thing I can say Never Give up I got the job when I was 50 and now 57 ..
Glad this was able to open your eyes. Bless you for seeing and trying to understand that homelessness is very much judged and stigmatized which just makes it that much harder to change their situation.
Glad you've had your eyes opened about the realities of homelessness and stop judging em. I realize your symbol was originally an Indian peace sign, yet it's too close to the nazi sign to want to use it? Sure the swastika was turned a bit- but it's too similar to not be reminded of the damned nazis. Please reconsider your choice of symbol.
Lol, if he is so intelligent why didn’t he save up for his old age and for retirement? I want new fancy Cars, Clothes, Apartments, Houses right now too, but I also know that If I blow through all my money on luxuries and toys instead of saving as much as possible for a rainy day....I’ll end up homeless like this foolish person. This Boomer lived through the best economic time period in our country’s history. So sad to bad...

Thank you Lord for this unique and loving woman.... She got ripped off...

Minimum wage in Utah 7.60. I am 62 was a substitute teacher. Have a four year degree in business and economics. Can not find a job. Bless him. It sucks!
In California .. in order for someone to employ him they need to pay Workman's Comp in advance and have his salary in the bank in advance and they need to pay a huge fine if they do not have the money to pay him (labor board). They need to have $2.5 in the bank for every $1 paid to an employee (including health care plan). So businesses closed by COVID 19 cannot employ until their cash flow comes back. Businesses destroyed by riots need to have the money to repair all the damage and then buy all new inventory to sell (and then sell a lot of it) before they have the bank roll to hire employees. (and they need to pay rent per sq ft, electric and lights, and .. personal needs like lunch area and bathroom) It is going to be a while (if ever)

What a sharp guy. Some good Hollywood make-up professionals could turn him into a highly paid law guy, put him in an expensive suit, and he’ll rock. Needs somebody to sponsor him, he’ll do great. Keep us updated on him.
Maybe do a gofundme and get him a job!
@@tatetate4986 can we do that? start a campaign?
@@damlahanm608 Sure why not. Just as long as the people are actually homeless and not actors and/or not scamming. Could get on the news?
at least a gofundme to get him an RV with a current tag!
It's all about the clothes 👍😀, I know this, but don't dress nice .
No-one on this planet should be homeless......
No one should be drug addicts
No one should be alcoholics
It’s true, what is meant is being the ‘richest’ country in the world things should be different.
Some people want to be on the streets. They don't want the responsibilities of a normal life. Other have mental issues or addictions.
@@nikkimcdonald4562 society is based on addiction
Agreed. Too much money spent on missiles
He is more articulate and well spoken than 95% of the people I know. He should be able to teach or tutor writings for the very least
Who's paying?
Very short sighted insight. Whos paying? The people he teaches to writing and read?...sure they have money...
He's more articulate than my own lawyer.
Poor poor man so sad at least he has his dignity bless him 😢❤️🇬🇧
A man of his age just wants a job does this not make the lazy arse younger generation who have never worked who are on benefits feel guilty this is the old school generation bless him hope he gets his wish ❤️🇬🇧
Sorry, but dignity doesn't pay the bills. GET A JOB! Flip burgers, anything. Nothing should be beneath oneself. Start from the bottom and dig yourself out. He can do this!!!!
Wishing this man the best, hope his wishes come true, he deserves better.
the perfect case for UBI
Millions more likely homeless in the coming months
I wonder how many more people would be homeless if not for the kindness of their friends and family that they offer up a place to stay.
YEA, SOME JIS DONT CARE
This brother is articulate!
AGE DISCRIMINATION IS REAL...KNOWS NO BOUNDS
Ya well the media is Never gonna Rally,or try to help some old white guy

@The California Infowarrior Report in other words, people exclusively to be used and taken advantage of.
@bigboy can you live off Walmart bullshit pay? People should stop supporting chinamart.
Sure is.
We weren't homeless but 15 years ago, my husband was 60 years old when our business venture failed. He applied at a factory that made Boeing airplane parts. He worked there 15 years, then retired. The company took a chance on an "old man" with tons of experience and good character. Somebody, give this guy a chance...he has many good years left in him.
Was homeless 3 months worst time of my life back on track for 7 years thoughts are with you 🙏🙏🙏
Imagine all the taxes he paid over the years.
Exactly. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
Amen

After they get done using you, you are discarded like a massengil douche` your treated the same way at a 9 to 5 job in the real world (not Holly weird & easy peazy jobs) if you get a physical injury after working 20 years, they will fight you tooth and nail to get the money taken from your paycheck weekly ~ now why did I have to hire an attorney to get my money? (Who now gets a cut of my monthly check to get my money, lmao - I was penalized for getting my social security early also.. so $511.00 per month is my living wages now, I earned that every Thursday as a auto technician
So from 2 grand a month (+) to $511 -& no food stamps or any of that shyte' lol, what a messed up system.... I can be an illegal immigrant and get more help than being an American working class tax paying citizen - don't get hurt or your FUCT (& I destroyed my back at 26 - disability was available to me, I turned it down did years of physical therapy while schooling for new trade skill, back into work force instead of taking disability, when I ended up needing the help I got " you should have accepted it when it was offered to you to begin with. ~ what the hell is that ? that was what an employee from the Social Security office told me over a phone conversation once ~ blew me away. Rant done,...sorry people
All those taxes collected over the years were blown on needless Wars in the middle East.
I know Mr Fode he’s a kind man speaks the truth I pray you find a job a place to live God bless my friend🙏Diana
How can I help him?
Can you set up a go fund me for mr Fode so people may help if they wish. Thank you 🙏🏻💞
This is so heartbreaking. My aunt tried to get a job at Target. She is 61. They were hiring but not ppl in her age class. So many lower wage jobs age discriminate. Truly sad. She was a hard worker too.
Lord bless and help all the ho.eless they need you now God Bless u all
My hat is off to Home Depot who employed my father until he passed away at 85 years old.
Jen my target hires super young and super old and all in between
They actually said they dont hire in her age range? Isn't that illegal
He is smart, articulate law terms very well, lot experience. The system is failing.
same thought
I think he is leaving something out of the story...no law firm would take an inexperienced student over a seasoned clerk who is mature and responsible....

by design.
@@GiulioIannella1 I think your right you can see his jaw moving weirdly and I thought one eye was damaged but then he just opens it and keeps saggin dat eye hahaha

🤣😁😁😁😁🤣🤣😂😂😂😁😤🤣
Intelligent decent guy , any business would.be priveledged to have him on their staff . Homelessness is unacceptable . Good luck
so very true.
Freespirit K I hope a supervisor of a company sees this and hires him. Very capable, intelligent man.
There is a reason he's out here!He says he his warrants but won't say why.Some people are homeless for reasons that are not their fault.However alot most are homeless cause of their own fault! Unfortunately alot of people either can't or won't be honest with themselves and their actions!
@@Willis476 is right. I was thinking, "Gee, I could use that guy. His experience is valuable." Then the bench warrants which he won't discuss.
Homeless lives matter too.
It was always about classism.
mmm... no, not really.
@Jonnykoi ...says the illiterate bigot.
"alot"?
I often wonder when "alot" will become an actual word.
Maybe in "alittle" while...

Why?
I pray someone helps him to get a job . He seem like a very genuine person .
Please God help and bless Trent and his wife, Please give them work, keep them warm and please give them food. Amen❤🌹❤
As someone who is friends with a lot of homeless people in my area, Working at a restaurant and giving them food every night and a safe place to spend the night I got to know them well. Thank you for representing them publicly. They are people too.
thank you for what you do God bless
About 90% of the people I know who live in California are one flat tire away from the street.
Then you don't know the rich people that live here then 🤧

Miranda Bailey well Democratic, does not infer the Democratic Party. But most major cities are horrible regardless.
Ive watched loads of these videos and theres 2 things that always strike me. First....if the homeless can have hope, the rest of us need to look at our sorry selves. And secondly.....whenever they are asked about their 3 wishes, these people with nothing will wish for something for other people. Humbled.

They’re inspiring
Amen!
Yes!! I noticed that too!!
True enough

At his age? Lol
Agree. Regardless of age.
What has your father to do with it?

I'm sure god will get right on that, just after he watches some funny dog videos 🙄
Your future boss will be blessed to hire you♡ You are amazing, buddy. And hey Thanks so much for interviewing him. Glory to God for you both!!!

Just me 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 YOU KNOW WHAT TO SAY!❤️
I am dealing now with a lawyer who sounds like she is 12. She cannot communicate at all and has no follow up skills. If he's out in Hollywood the ageism is probably worse. Try to get out of la la land if possible and you may encounter people who appreciate your experience and skills.
He's not on drugs. He's very centered and intelligent. What an asset to anyone!
@@andrewvare3173 😊💓👍🏾
This story broke my heart. He seems to be very responsible. Unfortunately age discrimination exists everywhere. I really hope he finds a job.
the older generation have the best customer service skills...that alone should be a great reason to hire the baby boomers.
Ageism is real.....yet the boomers are the best generation to hire.....best work ethics
@MrHoppers002 "millennials (those born 1981-1994) they're hitting peak workng years now at least the oldest of the batch are 39 as of 2020. they're becoming the superviors, managers of today."
Not to the extent of the prior generation. The boomers aren't retiring. Many can't afford to. So the millenials as a generation are being held by from higher paying jobs as a result. This is a vicious circle, since millenials therefore won't have money to retire, and so on. UBI is an inevitability, else the country will crumble. That's where we're at. Thanks, capitalism! (or rather crony corporatism)
Very good point.
@keecefly TRUTH!!!!There is literally enough wealth to go around .
It struck me that all 3 of his wishes were for everyone's general good.
keecefly oh yeah? When and where because i don’t see it. Douche
@John
Yes, that was very thoughtful and kindhearted of him. I re-echo his sentiments and wish him very well.
@keecefly I hope something will happen to make you homeless. So you can experience it. The truth is, people like you could not handle it and would end up committing suicide or becoming a drug addict.
They all says that, when asked.
@keecefly you sad little fella why do you bother commenting shouldn't you be out living it up
all of these people used to be innocent happy kids, thats the worst part.
Except if you are an abused child, then you are an innocent unhappy kid.

I think a lot of them come from abusive homes
@@MarkWhippy just because its a terrible way to grow up doesnt mean those very kids in the broken homes didnt find happiness in the smallest of pleasures..

I would hire him, the guy seems smart. This problem is getting worse and it is hard to see.
Here in Australia it's the same.Only going to get worse because of the Coronavirus.Soul destroying.
However young worker generation union hate old man everywhere....
Weather wars destruction all by design.thousands made homeless every summer.
Older people need jobs too wtf. Do people think that everyone’s just set for retirement when you’re elderly? I am always eager to hire older people. They bring about wisdom and contribute just like everyone else
He's not that old.
Emma W. I’m 59,believe me it really just creeps up on you age. It’s just a number but people have a preconceived idea about it. Every one gets older, every one isn’t 23 for ever. Shame employees are ageists
They also have a terrific work ethic and are very loyal.
EW 👍👍
Walmart gives job to anyone.
I was homeless off and on in my 20’s here in NY. It’s such a feeling of uncertainty, fear, all the time. Felt so uncomfortable couch surfing. Felt imposing and worthless. Slept in my car for a period of time as well. Being female, it’s doubly frightening. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Ageism is REALLY alive and well in California.
Everywhere... in midwest also.
@Daryl Mixan you dont know that. I worked as senior caregiver for 10 yrs. Suddenly my feet and back wore out at 60 yo. I have been living off my meager savings since May. My ira savings are less than a year's salary & then hello to $1200/mo soc sec. soon. I always thought I'd work till i was 70 and never bought temp disability insurance. A warning to all you readers: dont assume anything about your health & get temp disability. Insurance.
He has a great voice. I bet some voice over agencies would give him a listen.
connect him
Do you really think he will be able to live off of doing voice overs ?
are u nuts or just dreaming
For a lot of us born into poverty, it’s a hard road avoiding homelessness because we don’t have those parents to bail us out if things go sour financially. That’s the same case for some senior citizens who no longer have the safety net of family.
I have to live under siege with the police threatening to take my home of 54 years for back taxes. I will shoot the cops if they try to forcefully enter my domicile.
I couldn’t agree more. I honestly don’t know how anyone can make it without family support. I’ve taken in several teens over the last couple years to try to help them. Even young people end up homeless on a regular basis. A full time minimum wage job doesn’t cover even the basics anymore. Let alone a car or insurance. We have little to no public transit.
The problem is not having family or not, like Mary Jenkins said, your family can be poor and unable to help you or they can be violent and mean. The problem is not enough social resources against poverty to help and to give a chance to poor people to be able to achieve the same level of comfort as those who began with richer families and who have more opportunities from that position already have.
I was thinking/dreaming about a project that you build a smaller lighter version of the teardrop trailer. But make it so that you could pull it with a bike, manpower, or a vehicle. Be a you build two and get one system. Then you could sell the other one to pay for the supplies. I know it’s not an ideal solution. But it beats a tent or the sidewalk. A locking door would perhaps allow a little rest and security. And by selling one they would then become less of an eyesore or be recognizable with being homeless. A roof over your head no matter how humble gives hope. I just wish more could be done in a practical way.
so give them UBI problem solved not all or many really are helped by family and many are destroyed in family -
As he said, age discrimination is very real and I'm sure has cost him many job offers. I pray some one gives him a break and hires him.
another prayer? can't live on prayers... just won't sustain you !
@@marcelfortin7035 "The prayer of a righteous man availeth much" prayer is the direct communication with God. We have been praying for my brother who has covid he has been in the hospital for 3 weeks. Yesterday we were told hes on his way to recovery.God is the only one who can help us through anything we encounter in life. He gave us life. The breath coming into our beings when we're born comes directly from him. Just like when he made man out of his image and breathed life into Adam. He knows everything about us and how long we are to live on this earth. When we ask God for something with a sincere heart felt prayer and we've accepted him into our hearts. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. Hes our true friend and saviour.
@@remamasuskapoe4280 delusional
God looks at the heart what do our hearts look like to Him. Are our hearts right with God? The word says " there is none righteous, no not one"
I never thought ''age discrimination'' would catch up with me...but it did ! A man needed a production technician for his Radio Station and I applied but I was Too old, too out-of-date, too out-of-style, and ''not with it''. How do I know that.....I pursued him for 10 years....then I said ''ENOUGH''.
it’s so sick people think all homeless are drug dealers, some people can get very hurt and the hospital bills are too high for them to pay they end up in dept then homeless , it’s a sad reality
Sounds like you have no clue about anything regarding the homeless lmao People need to survive on the street and most are forced to turn to less than legal means to somehow stay alive, it has nothing to do with drug dealing being "bad" it's about survival and people will do what they need to do, if you think it's somehow not true a lot of homeless may eventually turn to illegal means after they've been on the streets for years and years you're obviously naive as shit lmao
And of course that only accounts for a few people, some stay true to their morality and that in itself gives them a reason to live.
Drug dealers are doing fine. It's high rent and no jobs that put people on the streets.
shame on people giving him issues b/c of his age
That is life I been there took me 3 year's for a company to give me a chance and I can say do to my hard work and honesty , I have been there for 7 years and been a supervisor for 2 years and the CEO loves me. One thing I can say Never Give up I got the job when I was 50 and now 57 ..
He's orettty sharp with cases. He's right about age discrimination.
From now on I will never blame the homeless person for their condition.
Thank you for showing me how wrong I am.
Exactly dont ever judge a homeless man u never know what they've been thru. Most of em are better than those living in nice houses. Help them instead
Glad this was able to open your eyes. Bless you for seeing and trying to understand that homelessness is very much judged and stigmatized which just makes it that much harder to change their situation.

He’s so intelligent! I work in the legal field and this guy knows what he’s talking about!
Lol, if he is so intelligent why didn’t he save up for his old age and for retirement? I want new fancy Cars, Clothes, Apartments, Houses right now too, but I also know that If I blow through all my money on luxuries and toys instead of saving as much as possible for a rainy day....I’ll end up homeless like this foolish person.

Yes this is an awesome channel!! Very informative!
shy boy really!! Why even comment that specially on a video like this. Disgusting
what an intelligent guy - someone needs to employ him and do themselves a favor
In California .. in order for someone to employ him they need to pay Workman's Comp in advance and have his salary in the bank in advance and they need to pay a huge fine if they do not have the money to pay him (labor board). They need to have $2.5 in the bank for every $1 paid to an employee (including health care plan). So businesses closed by COVID 19 cannot employ until their cash flow comes back. Businesses destroyed by riots need to have the money to repair all the damage and then buy all new inventory to sell (and then sell a lot of it) before they have the bank roll to hire employees. (and they need to pay rent per sq ft, electric and lights, and .. personal needs like lunch area and bathroom) It is going to be a while (if ever)
No doubt! So ridiculous that corporate America just throws people away when they hit a certain age. I worked in IT for 20 years as a PM and when I hit my upper 50’s and lost my job I could no longer find work in IT. Companies are losing a lot of experience and professionalism

When I was Homeless without a car, money, etc. the worst Enemy was homeless people who steal from you or threaten you. Sleeping on cardboard out in the desert in Palm Springs for a month in June away from other homeless people was nice in the soft sand, with the stars and 80 degrees, and talking to God. Nowadays, I sleep in my mini-van and cheap motels on the coast or in orange county.

His second wish is to get a job at 60. If that isn’t a hardworking man, I don’t know what is.
And of course he doesn't deserve this.

I feel so bad for him but not in a position to help. We are all struggling. It's by design that they took away the middle class imo
I wish this man well..my heart goes out to everyone homeless all over the world..life can't be easy..love from Ireland..
