I'm in college right now (will be my 4th year.) And I am making less now, than I was 3 years ago, which was the last time I had a job with an actual company. I make minimum wage, and work in a video rental store. I don't like it, but I don't have any other choices. This past school year I've probably applied at 20 places that I am able to get to, (I have no car that I can use up at school.) Bite the bullet man, and hopefully something better will come along sooner rather than later. At least I have a tiny bit of money comming in. Sadly I don't even get 40 hours where I work, and I want them. I'm lucky if I get 20 hours a week. $100 pay check woohoo. Yay for not being able to pay rent/utils/food.
The best of luck to you, and I hope all goes well for you.
