Default James enrolled in a "fraudulent school" and only paid for a "piece of paper"

Just like College

If James went to this school and complete whatever course he needed to complete and received his diploma, then why the hell did the school give him the WANT ADS and a map of the city

Shouldn't the school have had some kind of connection to employers in the city of chicago???


Poor James probably took out a loan to go to that school to only get SCAMMED

I thought he got his GED. I don't think he went to a trade school. Did he go to a trade school?

It was a trade school and the only job they was able to get him was way on the other side of the country

A job that would cost money to get to. Plus why would they offer that to him knowing he was a family man and couldn't just pick up and go?

How was it going to cost him money? They were probably going to pay for his relocation. When a company is offering someone a job the HR or owner does not care if you have a family or not. When my husband was offered a job in Chicago, I went with him. His boss didn't care if he had a family There are a lot of people who picked up their whole life and moved to another state, especially in the 30's-60's.

You could sub-lease charge more and make a little change, have a family member live in the apartment and pay the rent, break your lease.

It's just crazy that Florida never made any effort to have a better life. She was content with having NOTHING


Another one of her dumb statements......."can't fight the economy"


So since the economy is bad you should just not even try and just remain broke

I don't think she was content, she was just old school and she wanted to be with her husband. Who wants to be apart from their spouse for a year if they didn't have too? I could see if James was in the Army and he had no other choice.

BUT I do think that Jame should have taken that job.

It's not about leaving the projects, I think it was more about the unknown. Moving to a place you've never been, where there aren't anyone you know can be scary and stressful.

That isn't the same, You can still have your kids around and feel lonely and bored. And when you have teenagers they're not gonna stay home with you to keep you company. It's always go to have friends to talk to and to hang with.

Look if the man is the only one bringing in the money and announces he has a new job and they are moving, then the wife packs up and go

I saw a similar situation on George Lopez when George got a new job and Angie didn't want to move to Colorado. How did she have any say so if he was the only source of income. she had no choice
