Move north. I know McDonalds pays 15 an hour here. Not to say you should work there, but as an example of pay scale purely.
Might not be a viable solution to move, but its a move I made and never regretted. Up in the north here, they are so desperate for people that will actually show up to work, and not be stoned when they do it, that people can get hired free of experience or education and initiate a career change. I went from finance to electrician (thats 30k in student loans I still regret), and my wife went from collections to human resources.
I know guys that have come up outta high school that are managing stores within 2 months because they showed up and tried.
