I've been trying to get a job since October of '07. I only had 3 interviews and no job. No one wants to give me a job because I have no experience or because i'm not 18. I don't know what to do anymore I need the money. A lot of people my age want a job just to buy clothes etc., but I actually want the money to support my future. I had an interview today, I got the job and the pay was good - but then they realized that I wasn't 18 and said I have to be 18, even though I asked what age you have to be to work there, and they said 16. The lady said she really likes me and she's gonna try but I doubt they'll change the rules just for me...what do I do I need a job, but I've already tried everywhere.

 Start your own business.This sounds foolish, but the fact is that you can make a lot of money doing it if you treat it like a job.What do I do, you ask?Go to work! Get up every morning at a specific time and devote 8 hours to find out just that and then work it. That's right. Treat the making of your business as a business. You're on a computer. Go find out how E-bay works and think of what you can sell on it. Maybe call second hand stores, pawnshops or Antique stores and ask them if they have stuff they want to sell and if you can get a percentage if you sell it for them.Or maybe you have a talent in cooking something. Make a mean breakfast burrito and you can start your own breakfast burrito production and packaging house right in your kitchen. Get a caterers license for a hundred bucks from your state and call local milk stores and ask if they would sell them for you and split the profit. Or sell them yourself from a cart on a busy intersection with bottles of juice and hot coffee.I've just thrown out two ideas in two minutes. Think how many more you could come up with in 8 hours of dedication to that task.Why wait for employment? Why not employ yourself?I'd say good luck, but instead I'm hoping you make a fortune.

 Keep up your hope and spirit.
You will find a job soon to complement your financial aid.
Can you get other financial loans from your college to tide you over ?
Wish you all the luck and I pray that you will land a job soon.
