Sup y'all. Ok, a few quick points.

  • I'm 20.
  • I've had 1 job and that was as a bag boy for 5 months.
  • I just dropped out of college.

I need a job and I can't really think of places to apply. My brain isn't working too well, but my only experience is as a bagger last year. This place should give me a good reference as I worked my ass off there. I just don't wanna go back because I'm ashamed. I left there so I could go back to my school and I got back into drugs and had to drop out. I'm clean now and in recovery, but I need a new place to work. I'll do anything, I just can't think of many places to apply. I'm trying to apply to as many places as possible. Any suggestions would be nice. I'm thinking maybe Puff Daddy's assistant or are my credentials too good? Thank you.

Oh Tony. You could get another bag boy job or swallow your pride and go back to your old job. Then go back to college. And don't do drugs.

Try being a bank teller. A lot of banks need part-time tellers and you don't really need that much experience. I've been in the banking industry for over a year now and tellers are always in demand.

maybe you could get a job for a relative or a friend.

Here are some other jobs you could consider:

1) work for a grocery store

2) restaurant - waiter, bus boy, bartender, host

3) fast food place

4) janitor

5) UPS

I would recommend a job that has something to do with the most important part of a gamer's body but refrain to do so in fear of getting banned.

Become certified in a profession like dental assistant takes six months. There are many jobs available which only require high school diploma like certain receptionists. I suggest write a clean cover letter, resume, references, and start applying at any job you feel fit. Good luck bro

I didn't have my A.S. until I was 21 years old (now 22) so don't give up, you are young and reckless!

My fall-back career if I don't make it to graduate school is to become a bus driver. Where I live, they make about $25-27/hr. Starting.

Literally anything you can get. Seriously, how hard is this? Just go to every local business and give them your resume, you will probably get lucky and hit at least one place looking for an employee. Really though, I would say go back to school and finish whatever degree you were working on. No sense wasting all the effort you already put in. Either that or pick up a trade (plumbing, carpentry, etc). They are always in demand.

Work in a store as a cashier or stockperson or something. It's not really hard. I'm sure there's more than one store in the city you live in. Or apply at a gas station. Or a movie theater. Or fast food. Or as a dishwasher. There's an endless list of bottom-of-the-barrel jobs. Society stays afloat because of minimum wage jobs.

Are you single?

Drive a truck or train.

Pay is excellent if you prefer working to doing anything else.

UPS and Costco have really good reputations.
