Darryl Said:

I want to get a AA in Psychology but have a degree in computers can the A.A help me get a job.?

We Answered:

no. it's hard enough finding a job with a B.S. in psychology. are you interested in the IT field? if so, that would probably be more beneficial than a psychology degree.

Can anyone tell me if Foodlion Grocery Stores do drug tests before they hire an employee...?

We Answered:

Most food service stored don't require it. But you finding out about the pipes, probably makes things a bit more understanding, his behavior, or wont take him meds, doing bad in school. We all want to respect the privacy of our children, for me it was my son's backpack, I got numerous letters or calls from his teachers saying he didn't hand in his homework. Something he did for years. As much as I loved him, its my job as a parent to have the right to go thru everything that is in my house. Did you know if the police raided your home and found his pipes and marijuana, you would lose your house, your cars, money because you have to hire an attny. NO you wont get your house or cars back. I think its time to talk to him, both parents, let him know that respecting your home and your rules. I bet he doesn't store it, Its his. I wish as a parent I can give you some hope, I used tough love, Im not my sons friend, Im his mother, he has friends. I love him unconditionally, but I don't have to like what he does or him, at times. good luck
