I really need to try getting a job this summer, and there's an opening at a place I'd really like to work at (plus it's close by). An issue though is that on the application there's a good chunk of it devoted to past work experience, and I don't really have any of that still. A lot of people I know around my age have already had a job so I feel like a slacker :/ Anyway I'm not sure how much of deal that will be, but can't hurt to try i guess.

My first job is going to be just as tricky for the same reasons.

This is the issue I'm having. I'm 21 and never got a job, nor have I gone to college. The first couple years after graduation, I was preparing/waiting to move out of state at any time, so I didn't bother to get a job/class if I was going to leave soon. When that move failed, I spent another year moping in depression. I'm such a paranoid POS, I'm still afraid of taking the risk and trying to get a job. College is out of the question because I'd rather keep our depleting money for necessities rather than classes that will most likely waste it.

If there's one useful piece of advice I got from my dad, it's that each day you don't get a job will be harder than the last. I've had 6 weeks of no employment or education and it's difficult. Try and look for something that you could apply for online.

Well, if it were me I'd say that a job doesn't exactly mean experience. Experience means experience, just talk about all the things you've done and you should be fine.

That's why I'm going to junior college right now; since I'm not the one paying tuition I don't want to make my parents spend more than they have to. I saved a little time and money taking college credit classes in high school too (so it's not like I even had time for a job then X3). I want to start being more independent and, well, a job is kind of a good step for that. I'll just do as much as I can and see what happens.

It's just a position at a bookstore, but since I really enjoy that sort of stuff I'd love to get the job. But if I have to settle for something less interesting I guess I'll take what I can get.

Today is gonna be a super impatient day for me ;-;

Gotta wait for my package to arrive, and wait for all my Fallout mods to update.

And to top it off, gotta deal with my roommates fighting all day.

I am just so tired of not having a computer. There's only so much a tablet can do, and a computer can do everything. But that's just the half of it, I watch let's plays all the time and now I can barely stand them. I don't want to WATCH a game I want to PLAY one!

Thought of getting a tablet game while you wait?
