Get a summer job at a fish processing plant in Alaska, like with Trident Seafoods or somebody. They literally hire anybody. It's retarded. They fly you up there, provide room and board and everything. You have to pass a drug test and hearing test, but that's about it. Save ALL your money, and maybe try to get hired by a fishing boat. That's big money. When you get home, buy a crappy car WITH A STICK SHIFT and learn to drive it. When you get good, contact the trucking company, CR England. They will work with you on financing (the training costs like 3 grand), or you can go to Alaska for another season and pay up font. They train you for two months, and then you're making $40,000-$50,000 dollars per year to start on over the road trucking. After a couple years, you can get a mid-five-figure regional trucking job, be home every night by six, and even support a family.
Plus, you'll feel like man!!! Or a wo-man!!! Either way, the plan works.
Good luck!
Some days are much more difficult than others. I haven't given up on job hunting completely but when it comes to employment my city is pretty much dead.
