windcatcher 0 #1 March 22, 2005 now how am I gonna afford to get through this last month of classes?? It sucks not even having money to buy the little things. Today, I called the work study department at school, and they said I can't work anymore, since I've already worked my allotted hours this semester. ...makes me wanna cry just had to gripe a little.....

soulshine 0 #4 March 22, 2005 QuoteOh no. Today's full of little bits of bad news. I hope things work out. No, not everything is bad news. I just finalized my plans to go to Eloy! That's good! windcatcher: Sorry about the job. Why don't you try getting a job waitressing or cashier type of thing. Those places are always hiring and it's a little bit of cash to tide you through the next few months.

windcatcher 0 #5 March 22, 2005 yeah, I could do that, but since I have no car...I would have to find a place within walking distance of school, and also, who is going to hire me for one month? Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soulshine 0 #7 March 22, 2005 Quotewho is going to hire me for one month? Just don't tell them it will be for a month. I've had to do that a few times. It is kinda shady but hey, you gotta make ends meet somehow. QuoteI would have to find a place within walking distance of school, I don't know where you go to school but college campuses are usually surrounded by places to work. You just have to get creative or bite the bullet and take a crappy job for a month. Good luck.

Hmm, that would be interesting, windcatcher with a hammer and soulshine: thanks, but yeah, I would have to tell someone up front I would only work for a month Once I go home for summer, I am gonna work 2 jobs, it's just right now these last 5 weeks of school, I have so many bills to pay...

tigra 0 #11 March 22, 2005 Hey, I feel you although for me its been a while. When I was in college, I was only "allowed" to work 10 hours a week at my work study job. I made about enough for Sunday dinners which the dorm did not provide and Monday night happy hour at my favorite bar. Just basic pocket money, really. I also worked full time over winter breaks (6 weeks) and summer breaks. That went towards tuition and books. I always envied the people who could actually afford to go on spring break, since I usually spent mine trying to line up a summer job! If you don't think your school work will suffer as a result of working more hours, and you need the money, look into something off campus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
