How much might a 1 year LPN program cost? Is personal care for the opposite sex part of the curriculum?

Especially for night time? Also does night shift have a lot of downtime where you can study?

Thank you. That is good thing to know.

I thought HHA had a high turnover rate anyway whether the employee is a high school graduate or college graduate.

"Overqualified in an employers market is almost never an advantage. I" It seems like the rest of your comment was cut off. Could you type it out again?

Yeah I think I would prefer the security job. For some reason though I never got a call back when I applied to security jobs in my area. I heard that a lot of them are ex-military people. So I guess all the ex-military people gets the job? Or maybe if I move to NYC there will be so many jobs that I will land a security job?

Specifically this is the type of job that I'm thinking of:

My goal is to have a job that consists of mostly free time where I can do personal research by reading books and using the internet, and eventually making my living through blog/website online. Maybe I could become a overnight security guard? I guess they should have a lot of jobs of any kind in NYC but also that much more population to compete with. Or maybe I might be overqualified for security guard too?

Is it true they won't hire people with Bachelor's degree? Minimum wage jobs do hire people with Bachelor's degree so why not HHA jobs?

Is parking expensive in non-Manhattan NYC as well?

Is that true that most HHA agencies would not hire be because of my degree? What if I tried to hide the fact that I went to college? Would a huge employment gap cause them to not hire me because I didn't have a steady job?

I am physically weak and won't be able to do heavy lifting. But isn't NYC big enough that even excluding females and males who require strength (overweight), there might be many clients (males who are not overweight)? How do you land a spot in a nursing or rehab facility? Are you talking about NYS HHA certification?

My degree is in humanities and I don't have much of a job prospect. I would rather have jobs with lots of free time with low pay than jobs with better pay with next to nothing free time. Transportation is cheap at NYC with unlimited metrocard for $112 a month and no need for a car. I saw $600 rooms in Queens on Craiglist. I was hoping I could do something like a 12 hour night shift for 3 days on one agency and same on another so that I could work 72 hours, and hoping that much of that 12 hour shift is free time. How much is starting pay for HHA in NYC usually?

So that means that NYC HHA are not expected to have a car, right?

I'm not homeless here because I'm living with my family. But there are no jobs here, so if I move to a place with the most likelihood of finding a job, I won't have money for a room at least initially.
