18 and no job. I need some serious help!

[souldistortion]

If you haven't gotten enough suggestions already, here's another one. Be a waiter. You get cash in your pocket every shift and if restaurants drug tested, there would be no employees. The entire kitchen at the place I work is constantly high. It's funny until I have to make my own salads because the salad girl is stoned.

dude that sounds like a WAY BETTER IDEA then going through a temp agency. ive been looking into temp agencies these past few weeks and its pissing me off. are you THAT sure that ALL waiters in the work place are not drug tested? Ill get an application TODAY if thats the case

My mom knows i smoke pot and shes pretty chill with it as long as i dont let it get out of control and as long as i dont drink. im 18 and i need to get a job to start bringing in some money and this IS NOT AN OPTIOIN occording to my mom. Well i know that fast food places dont drug test but i dont want to work in fast food or at pizza hut. i want a slightly higher end job that for SURE does NOT drug test, because im a daily smoker. somthing like a grocery store or small shop. any ideas? i Rating: 5

Hey man, I just got hired at Stop and Shop. Yeah, it sucks pretty bad and the pay kind of sucks, but it's a pretty chill job and flexible with college starting back up and shit. Nothing permanent for me, I was just trying to find some small part time job to bring in a few bucks a week mainly for ganja. Anyways, they don't drug test or even run background checks so I applied and pretty much got hired on the spot.

If you can find any place that is hiring groecry baggers and basket pushers that's a pretty good job to start off with they dont drug test plus you aint bustin your ass.

Let me set the record straight. I have a job. Do i get a paycheck on a consistent basis? no, just whenever my mom feels like giving me money. I run babysitting duty for her 3 kids (i call them her kids cuz they are my fucking step dads kids and i hate them, i hate watching them even more) Three girls 8, 6, and 3 years old. With babysitting, grocery shopping, weeding the yard, taking out the trash, keeping the fucking house clean and taking my god damn sisters all the way up to fucking las angeles in traffic that resembles a parking lot for their visits with their step dad every fuckin weekend, Id say that i've earned the 40 or so bucks i get every few days.

Unless you're 18 and plan on joining the military, most people don't just up and move out right after high school. My parents and most of my aunts and uncles and older cousins didn't move out till 24, 25. I don't plan on moving out till around 23 or so. I still got college to go through and I don't feel like barely passing by and struggling to live with a crappy job when I've got my own little place here still available. I don't know about you guys, but my parents aren't busting my balls about living with them at 19 or charging rent or anything.

When I graduate from college with a degree in something and can pursue a career other than bagging groceries, then I'll start thinking about moving out.
