    So many are missing. Where’s Rudy, Any Given Sunday, The North Dallas Forty and The Replacements? 

    The Longest Yard, The Longshots?  Cmon, this is in fact dswsof.  Like Long said Rudy, Any Given Sunday, Invicible, Marshall all deserve some love over most of these.  Hell, where's My All American?

    This. I had to take one when I was having trouble focusing in classes years ago. It's not something you can study for really. The one that was administered to me had several components: answering written questions, timed replicating a picture using blocks, timed finding something wrong in pictures, synonyms, etc. Don't trust the online ones as the scope of what they test for is too small. 

    I don't think you understand the depth of OP's intelligence. He answered 9 questions on his phone.

  3. They have no more knowledge or ability to resolve things than most firms.  That said most firms don't want that client, didn't pay IRS probably can't pay us, hence Tax Resolution Firms.  Its merely a niche firm, many times shady with good marketing, looking for a desperate niche client.  Best thing to do is to find someone willing to take him on who will charge a fair price while setting proper expectations of outcome.  Also depending on how messy it is determines a tax attorney may be best.

    I also don't think it's safe to assume that kids can't or won't do these jobs. The opportunities aren't there these days. Hell, in big Texas cities, it's hard to help your kid set up a lawnmowing business or back of the house restaurant work because they are competing with Chuy and Julio, who are really good at their jobs and established with their employers.That was not the case when I was a kid / young man. 

     

    I can only speak to my experience.  I helped run a good sized commercial and residential subcontractor here in Houston for a few years.  I tried my hardest to hire local kids of all colors straight out of high school, community college and even smaller four year schools.  Over and over they chose not to stay or had baggage that caught up with them.  Often I paid them more than they were worth.  I talked to them about their opportunity to fast track due to having naturally better communication skills and customer service ability.  Again, it was rare that they wanted to continue and just as often simply couldn't cut it.  I cant tell you how many quit after one day.  Good kids like fit former athletes with a good head on their shoulders.  Imo, there is plenty of opportunity for our local boys.  Until they decide to pursue it, or we as a community help educate them, the foreign labor out there will continue to do it right faster and for less.
