I am 20, and have dropped out of High School on three separate occasions. I am now going to have to look for a job or I will be kicked out by my parents. Truthfully I am a stoner but I am also legal by the state. I do not know the first thing about what to do to overcome the obstacles that I have seen in only shortly searching. I see that I need a Diploma or that I need prior experience; of which I have neither. What advice does anyone have that isn't malicious? As far as the status of a drug test, I am in a state where they cannot discriminate so I suppose if I were to find a lenient place with lenient management, preferably young like myself, then I would get lucky. But luck aside, I need advice. I have three days to find a job more or less.
Seeking a semblance of guidance?

Look for work in a truck stop diner. The only thing they care about is that you show up on time every day and keep your hands clean. Hopefully the diner will be within walking distance of your home, so you don't have to waste your money on transportation. Save half of everything you earn. Yes, half. To start, keep your savings in gold or silver coins which you do not store in anybody else's vault. IOW hide them at home. Spend your evenings studying investment books at the public library. When you are smart enough then you can make other investments. If you earn ten bux an hour and save half, in only ten years you will have A HUNDRED THOUSAND BUX not counting interest or capital gains or paper profits: only principle. There is no other plan that will give you a net worth above zero in only ten years. And there is no school that will teach you any such thing.
Does this plan work? Andrew Carnegie worked five years, saved his wages, and then put it all into a tech stock: telegraph. You might have heard the name. His hobby was building concert halls and libraries.
Right now you are probably objecting because this plan is no fun. Well, being broke and homeless is no fun either. Your choice.
