anyways, i signed up for nightschool a few days ago. ill be going 4 out of five days from 4-10. I was behind like, .5 credit to be a technical senior. I tried Faith Academy Homeschooling but that was pointless and a waste of money. SO nightschool is my last option and as long as i do my shit, ill graduate like im suppose to this year in in april or either in the summer, thats if i dont get a job so i can get a whole credit for work-based learning. But one of my goals for when i graduate is MOVING THE F*ck out. I HATE living with my family, i hate it. So ive been trying to do some research and figure out what kind of jobs are out their that could help a fresh highschool graduate move out and get a foothold on independence. IM sure there are some 18-19 year olds on here that have their own apartments and sweet paying jobs. ID like to hear what jobs their are. thanks.

www.craigslist.com is loaded with good paying jobs. but then again, i consider $10/hr. to be a good paying job.

Do you plan on doing any college? Or just going directly to a job?

Some factories really do pay well. The work SUCKS, but if you find the right one, you can start off in the mid teens or so an hour...If you like the outdoors, and can work hard, maybe construction...I am only 20 and dont really need the money, but i worked in a factory over the summer and made $9 an hour, 40 hours a week, and got paid 2 times a month...the paychecks were over $600, so that is over $1200 a month...Just gotta ask yourself, could you really live off that?

i'd cut grass and do lawn work.. i know it sounds stupid, and you wont even give it a second thought, but do you know how much money is involved in the lawn care business? dont be the person who does all the work and makes somebody else rich, start a small business and let it grow.. i have a cousin who has owned a landscaping business for many years.. he now owns 3 airplanes.. airplanes are fucking EXPENSIVE too..

i'd give that a shot if i were you.. just hire a few illegals and sit back and let the money roll in..

i plan on going to griffin tech and getting my automotive engineering degree and would like to work at a performance shop. But idk how hard that would be to make that happen. i think i could live with 1200 a month. in a trailer park where my buddy lives, he pays close to 500 a month for water,lot rent,etc. but not for the trailer. idk how much it would cost to rent a trailer tho

know how much i made at Arby's? started at $6.00 an hour, and after about 5 months i worked my way up to $6.15 an hour.. worked another 7 or 8 months and never got a raise.. fuck that place.. i got a paycheck once every 2 weeks.. i was lucky to break the $250 mark..

[Tony_90fox]

you hear that Luvdmustang? Arby's is not the way to go!

[Luvdmustang]

fast food in general isnt the way to go. ive worked at wendys,mcdonalds, and a theater, like bwal said, youd be lucky to break the 250 mark. and btw the paid every two weeks crap is bullshit and should be illegal

[Luvdmustang]

so no one has anything else?
