Tyler Junior College is one of the biggest Junior colleges in the country. Everyone in Tyler knows about Tyler Junior College. Tyler Junior College is known for its three promises; 1. A quality education, 2. A Vibrant Student Life, and 3. Community Service. Tyler Junior College started in 1926. The student body was not much more than a few hundred.
In Tyler TJC has become more than just a college, sadly, it has become the hot hang out spot. Many times it seems that TJC has tried to sweep the crime that happens on the campus under the rug. If you just walk through the campus it is pretty obvious that there is a problem with gangs. Silly fights have broken out due to certain groups standing on other groups spot. It is ridiculous to walk through the campus and to hear the childish yelling. It is extremely annoying to hear the obnoxious hissing of men trying to get a girl’s attention. I think that the campus security is trying to deal with this issue but it never seems to really change.
Although there are really annoying things that happen at TJC, there are really great programs that give back to the community. There are many scholars programs at Tyler Junior College that allows students to receive extra credit and they are able to graduate with honors. These programs give the students opportunities to work in the community and to work along with charities in East Texas.
Tyler Junior College gives many people an opportunity to go to college when they come from a place that maybe their grades were not the best in high school, or if that they do not have very much money. TJC places their students according to a placement test, which tests the students reading, math, and English skills.
TJC does have great opportunities for all people, from successful sport programs and cheerleading to a great drama and music program. The two year college has allowed people to change their lives and have opportunities that they may not have found anywhere else.
Currents is a small restaurant hidden away next to Tyler Junior College. I wanted to throw a small private party, but I wanted it to be elegant and something different. We called the restaurant for information of how they serve their guests and what they do for parties. I was extremely impressed with the options that the owner laid out for me. Although I could not afford some of the options that he gave me he was still extremely generous. He allowed me to meet with him about having a specialty menu that I got to pick out.
I went to the small Tyler restaurant and he showed me around. Up stairs the dinning rooms are very formal with a nice deck and out side seating. Down stairs is another dinning area, which is not as nice and had very dim lighting. I was kind of disappointed in the set up of the place, because it was not very welcoming. The down stairs dinning area was reserved for my party and fit about twenty people in it. The service was extremely personal and private. I ordered the veal to start which was perfectly tender and amazingly tasteful. Although I had to live through the gasps of my young cousins when they heard I was eating a “baby cow”, it was very good.
They were kind enough to serve three dishes that I had asked for as a special menu, and everyone seemed like they enjoyed the food. We were read the amazing different desserts that all sounded great and were dipped in chocolate and drizzled in raspberry sauce. I tried the chocolate moose cake with raspberry sauce. It was a revelation. The rich taste danced in every bite. I am usually not a big fan of dark chocolate but this creamy cake that melted in my mouth was amazing. Everything was perfect but the check was rather large. But that is coming from a person who’s view of eating out is Chili’s or Chick-fil-a. I had an amazing time and both the food and service were definitely excellent. I will keep going to Currents, but I will just have to wait for that pay check to come in.
When graduating from high school in Tyler Texas you will most likely begin looking for a good paying job if you decide to stay in Tyler like I did. What a lot of people do is begin their college education at Tyler Junior College simply because it is cheaper than going right into a University system. Even while at a Junior College you will need a job and so the Tyler job hunt begins. For a young job seeker without any work history it can be challenging to find a good paying job. Even after graduating with a bachelors degree from college if you have no work related experience you will have trouble pulling in a good salary. In Tyler the job market presents an uphill climb.
In Tyler if you are someone with little work experience you will usually have to start out at the bottom some where and work your way up. This means that for a college graduate you will likely start a job in Tyler Texas with a salary in the area of $20,000 a year or less. If you are a high school graduate you will likely be hired right at the minimum wage amount and you will have to prove yourself just to get hired. Nowadays you can’t just show up and get hired. If you have a criminal history you can forget about working at most places in Tyler.
What does it take for a recent high school graduate to get hired at a good paying job in Tyler? You need to apply at the places you like and the places you don’t like because you will probably not be hired by the in demand employers. If you are living at your parents house watching TV and eating chips everyday you have probably heard this same thing from your parents. For instance, if you wanted to work at the trendy Starbucks Coffee but your personality is that of the American Idol psycho girl than you will probably not be getting that gig. Instead move your energy’s toward applying at places that don’t really consider personality as much such as McDonalds working on the grill in the back or the beef squirter that squirts in the beef liquid into the Taco’s. I would never want to work at these employers and most people would concur with my opinion as well but you have to start somewhere.
As a high school graduate the most important thing to do is to accumulate 6 months of job history. By working somewhere for atleast 6 months it shows the next employer that you can stick to a job for a decent amount of time. The fact that you didn’t work at McDonalds for 1 year will not bother most employers because they understand that a good employee wouldn’t want to make that job a life long career choice. Once you have accumulated some job history maybe try again to access what you would really like to do. If your aspirations involve a trade you have no experience in than consider enrolling in college and getting a job at an employer that offers jobs in the field you want to focus on. Instead of applying at the job that is in your field try getting hired on as the janitor or other easier job offer. Once you have some education in your field attempt to apply for that position with your employer. Since you are already in the door and have shown you have a strong work ethic you may have an easier time of getting hired for your chosen career.
Another way to get in the door to a company offering a good job in Tyler Texas is to look for intern possibilities with the TJC or UT Tyler career counselor. Usually large commercial and industrial employers in Tyler will have internships available that may pay in the range of $11 – $15 an hour. These employers are specifically looking for bright students with ambitions that involve higher education and a desire to work in their related field that have job openings in. Once you graduate if you work out at that respective employer they may decide to hire you on full time and you will be promoted from intern to full time employee with benefits.
Another point to consider regarding the Tyler Texas job market is that it is really geared to the small business owner. For someone just getting started in a career you may have no money to start your own small business. Even though you may have no money it is still worth writing up a business plan draft on some small businesses you think you may be capable of starting. Some careers with low overhead that are easy to work your way into are lawn care, carpet cleaning, pest control, roofing, drywall, texturing, and car audio installation. These are some ideas you could start fairly easily with little up front capital and you could post some ads on Craigslist, The Thrifty Nickel, and the Tyler Paper.
Your best way to get into a good paying job in East Texas is to start your own small business even if that means working from your home. When starting your own business it requires that you deal with self confidence issues and that you relax your grip from momma. You eventually need to leave the nest and if you are 19 years old or older you really should start looking for ways to get out of the house and into your own place. By getting a job however terrible a career move it may be atleast you are doing something and if anything it will motivate you to make a step towards education in order to be able to get a better job. As long as you remain at mommy and daddy’s place you will not have the motivation or ambition to pursue any type of career or educational goal.
If you are an adult and are reading this article you may be a guy living on the couch at your girlfriends place living off of government assistance while your girl friend goes to work every day. You also fit that same profile as the teenagers living at mommy and daddy’s. You are now 40 – 50 years old and you have simply carried over your childish ways over to a girlfriend that acts as a kind of mommy for you. You also need to get your butt out of the house and consider mowing lawns for a living. You are old enough by now to know how to start your own small business even if it is something you really don’t want to do. There is simply no excuse for continuing to lay on that couch while your girlfriend acts as your mother.
This article may seem as if I am writing from personal experience 🙂 and in fact I do know people that are currently living in these roles in the Tyler Texas area. I am writing to them and many many people like them that are doing the very same thing. It’s time East Texan’s that are harboring these lazy pathetic baby’s in their spare bedrooms and couches to kick their butt’s out and tell them to go get a job. If your criminal history is so bad that it seems to be slim picken’s in the small town of Tyler than it’s time to take $100, a greyhound bus or the Mineola train and move down to Dallas. Get some assistance at a home or shelter if you have to and start over in a larger town.

You can think about nothing else. What if I’m pregnant?
Maybe you have even taken a home test … and another and another. Are they really accurate anyway? You might be thinking – what is going to happen to me if I really am expecting a baby?
Don’t be terrified. There are people waiting to help you. Call the Pregnancy Resource Center in Tyler before you do anything else. You need someone to be on your side and help you process what is happening to you.
The Pregnancy Resource Center is in a little house opposite Tyler Junior College. Don’t be put off by the homey atmosphere and the fact that they give their services for free – these guys are professionals. Firstly they have lab-accurate pregnancy tests and can give you proof of pregnancy, an expected date of delivery and later, a sonogram. They also have access to all sorts of information to help you decide what you are going to do next.
The ladies at the Pregnancy Center will listen to you and discuss your personal circumstances. They will talk about your choices and can refer you to a local maternity home (Fatherheart) and an adoption agency (Loving Alternatives) should you want more information about these options. In addition they can tell you about the methods of abortion used to end pregnancies.
At the center there is also information about other Tyler support agencies for women and children. They also offer post-abortion counseling and can refer you for help if you struggling with grief over the loss of a baby through SIDS. They have information on WIC and Medicaid and sexually transmitted diseases.
Finally, should you be struggling with finances, the center can help with maternity and baby clothes and equipment through their sister organisation ‘Building Blocks’ which is right next door.
One of the things I love about the Pregnancy Center is that they are loving and non-judgemental. Many of the volunteers have made mistakes in their lives and are helping because of their own experiences. Be sure that you will be treated with care and respect and that even if you are now feeling despair at your circumstances – there is hope.

Tyler Abortion Clinic resource center is a ministry that YWAM offers for any pregnant girl. Their goal is to save as many babies as they can and help the mother make the best decision for her and her baby besides abortion. The Tyler abortion clinic resource center is located close to T.J.C. (Tyler Junior College). They offer free pregnancy tests for the girls that go in their office and also counsel them if they want it.
They have available a free sonogram so that the expectant mother can see their baby. Besides providing tests for them they also inform the girls about the dangers of having sex outside of marriage and about getting sexually transmitted diseases. The staff working there are wonderful women of God who love God and want the girls in there to make the right decision for their lives and their baby.
Tyler Abortion Resource Center is a blessing because they actually care about both lives, the life of the baby and the life of the mother. It seems to me that any other place you go today they would rather you abort the baby because it’s an inconvenience for your life instead of a blessing. They also have videos to watch that prepare you for becoming a mother.
Trust me it is not an easy task to take on planned or unplanned motherhood. Being a mother is a life long thing to where you will learn how to be the best mother over time with the help of God, Christian role models and family. Abortion Clinic in Tyler resource center helps you get started in the right direction. They also have a program called Building Blocks where the girls can go earn points and get stuff that they need for their children. The way it works is that you meet with a counselor, they give you the things you need to do before your next appointment. When you arrive at your next appointment, if you have completed the things they required you to, then you earn points and you in return can go shopping for your baby.
Some of the things you have to complete there to earn points are some parenting classes, watching some videos, going and getting WIC and going to your doctor appointment and other stuff like that. Tyler Texas Abortion Clinic resource center and Building Blocks work together to better prepare the girls for parenthood. They are a non profit organization and everything they have is by donation. I look at it this way, they are people who offer up their lives to help others in need without wanting anything in return.
These days you can’t find too many places or people who are willing to give of themselves the way I have seen the people at the Abortion Clinic Resource Center and Building Blocks do for so many years. Just in case you know of anyone who needs help in this area, have them contact the Abortion Clinic Information Center in Tyler because I guarantee you that whoever is going to help you cares about you and your child or friend. I could not think of a better place for you to go and get help if you find yourself in a place that you thought you would never end up.
Unplanned pregnancy could happen to anyone and that next person could be you. Don’t worry because the people there won’t judge you because of the pregnancy whether it is planned or unplanned. They love God and they love God’s children, whoever they might be or whatever they might have done to get there in the first place. Abortion Clinic Info Center in Tyler TX has been a blessing for many girls including myself.
