Let me just point out the problem with getting a regular job: there are none where I am (forget jobs, there are barely three businesses). I drive 1.5hrs just to get to school, but I can't make that sacrifice to work a job that doesn't have anything to do with my goals, can't legally employ me for more than 35hrs/wk, and legally only has to pay me 85% of minimum wage for my first 6 months. If I have an opportunity, ANY opportunity at all to work in the city (or even CT/HV), it'll be my best shot at finding something better.
And no, I can't work the days I'm at school– I have to leave at 7am and don't get back until 11pm. It's a bitch y'know, but I'm doing all I can or at least know how to deal with my situation (oh, and fuck all if I start thinking about paying for school next year...tuition's gonna be more than $2k that's for sure).
- That being said, I have applied to the few local businesses around and got nowhere so far.ismith
- (they just want hot young girls to work the storefront, and there are [apparently] enough of those here.ismith
- Ah shit, I don't know why this thread had to go the way it did. Explanations are rubbish, I just need work!ismith
