Do you work?

[BlackDahlia]

Sucks US isn't so easy, have you tried lower rate jobs like fastfood?

Fast food places are crowded with high school kids. Stores are even worse. In either case, were you actually able to find a job on either, it probably wouldn't be full time. A lot of stores and fast food places hire a shit ton of people and give them like 12 hours a week lol They do usually pay higher than minimum wage, but for the hours you work, it's really not worth it unless you're in school.

Warehouses are where it's really easy. They pay minimum wage, but they hire people more regularly and full time, especially these last few months of the year since were getting close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. You might even clock in a few good overtime hours each week. If you're a woman, you're as good as in since it's mainly women that work at warehouses.. so I might have to start cross-dressing pretty soon lol The only downside is that those jobs usually only last a few months. Once Christmas is past, they'll let people go since they're not as busy.. Well, at least that's how it is in my area.

Where I live all the fast food places are taken by illegal immigrants (Mexicans) or kids still in school.

I have to agree with ya on this.

I've had better luck with stores hiring than Fast Food places I applied at 3 fast food places in town hiring and never got a called. On the other hand I've applied to 3-4 stores and got calls for interviews but no hires D:

But I live in a small town so I have to look for work in cities that are like 30-40 miles away which kills me cause our budget is small and can't afford to fill the car with gas alot D:

Does school count as work? I swear, I spend all day at school then have 5 hours of homework after that.. ;P

[J-Lord]

Working.... It just draggs on and on with no end in sight yet I push on in the hopes of something great to come out of it......dont we all?

I work as a social worker with teens... man I should have picked something else to study F me teens are annoying XD

[DrumRoll]

I was going to be a social worker...but left after the first day of college. I'm good with people and a consumate talker, but I couldn't stand two or more years sitting with those pleb classmates. Funny thing is that when I went for the interview I told them that I have 'stickability':)

[VolvoKing]

I work full time unless I'm laid off. But with luck someone will retire or pass away and I won't get laid off anymore. It sad to think that way to preserve your job.

[xNoName]

I'm still in school, might I add. Probably gonna be in college by next year, around April or so.

[Jikochuu]

Have a part time job (as order picker for an Internet shopping supermarket) and study English at university. I've recently stopped studying Japanese orz

[Max465]

I'm doing the college thing. Dunno if I like doing the college thing though. I dunno if I want to stay in IT, but god knows I fail at everything else. >.>

Finding employment is difficult since nepotism/"equal opportunity (for tax/quota reasons)" is the deciding factor that employers make when picking their future employees, instead of actual individual qualifications.

I am a substitute teacher at a Public High School near my residence. I take on odd jobs sometimes as well to keep extra money in my pocket. I get by.

[EvilDoomBunny]

I graduate this coming spring considering when the board reviews and accepts my dissertation and I work full time as a horse trainer and I sometimes give riding lessons .

[Goldstandard90]

I'm currently going to college and unemployed since there's no jobs around here. Hope I can get something employment wise but with the way things are here I'm not counting on it, at least I have some leftover money after college expenses.

[mintymilk]

full-time college student working part-time at bakery :r

[zx0]

Well since January I have not been in employment.

Currently I am a full time carer for my wife and our baby daughter.

[lolrawr]

I used to have a job that paid really well. Was laid off with a lot of other people for budget reasons (go figure!).

Now I just say I am a full-time university student.

[coffeeNiK]

I study part time and work full time. I'm a junior business analyst down here. It's freaking exhausting and I wish I could quit but the money's good.

I'm totes a bum right now. I'm on terminal leave right now about to finish up my enlistment in the Air Force. After that, I have about a year to do nothing--probably write, terrorise the forum, do everyone's laundry--before, hopefully, we move out of Maryland and I can start using my GI Bill to go to school in Colorado.

I just started a new full-time job as a veterinary technician. This is actually my second job in the field; the first one being a year-long temporary position right out of school. Not much to say about it really. I went to college for veterinary technology, now I'm a working, licensed technician. Living the dream, I suppose.
