I don't have a job. This is a problem. I'll be paying rent next school year. Real rent, honest, $350-per-month, Broadway pay-or-you're-homeless rent. Even if I were to manage a job during the school year, there is no way I'd be paid enough or work enough hours to keep up a cash flow that justifies my lack of job.
I need a job.
It's not like I don't want a job. I desperately want and need a job because otherwise I do not know what I will do. I just haven't gotten a job and it's incredibly difficult to get a job when nobody is hiring and giving jobs.
One month of summer has passed and there are three to go. June has started, junebugs are singing, May has died and gone. Our time is running out.
I have a few options for income. If my channel ever gets partnered, that will bring in a few dollars, but nothing even comparing to a real job and definitely not enough to make ends meet. I could try selling t-shirts or something, but I doubt I have enough of a "market" to make it worth the effort. It's not like I have thousands of adoring fans and people screaming "I would like to buy something with something you said or did on it, my good sir."
The last option is to move to a big city, become homeless and play my ukulele on the street for change. The sad part is that this is the smartest option. I really hope it doesn't come to that. Does anyone know of good money-making opportunities online or in the Michiana area?
Until then, I guess I'd better devote myself to the job hunt. And writing. Nothing like being a poor writer.
Ooh! Also, here are some things I drew today because why not?
Learn to design websites? I mean, nice, clean, good websites. My brother taught himself in about a month and a bit and got £800 for the last website he made. If you put the time in, you'll get the reward. It's better than Youtube partnership and a 'normal' job... Or get a paper-round?
ReplyDeleteGet a paper cut, contract some horrible disease and go on disability for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteThat's the option I'm looking at. I too am without a job this summer. People are starting to think I'm a bum, just sitting around all day long.
AUUUUGH.
I really like the idea that your adoring fans would call you "my good sir"... Beyond that, I don't have much to say about this. I got my part time job (once a week) pretty much because my dad works there, after applying to dozens of jobs. I hope you find something! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a waiter. Its the only work I've ever ...er...worked that allows me to work less than 20 hours a week and still make enough to pay rent.
