Then apparently you are not as desparate as you say you are. A job is a job whether it's at McDonalds or at Walmart. It may sound petty, but what's more important? Eating or starving? Paying bills or constantly getting calls from bill collectors (which ruins your credit history). You make it seem like it's below you.
My sister got away like this in high school. I was working at two places so I could save for college. One was a grease joint and the other place was a newspaper route. When my sister was able to work, she worked for one day at the grease joint and quit - saying she couldn't take it. So of course my parents didn't make her work and bought everything for her.
I'm doing what i can do to give massages out of my home, but i can't go out and advertise myself too much b/c i'm doing it illegally. I can't get busted, so have to stick to friends and family..which i'm doing. It's just that everyone else is just as broke as i am right now.
And again, McDonalds is out of the question. Like i said, i'll go in debt and let my credit get effed up before i'll work there. It's not that I'm too good for it..it's the fact that I'll be puking in people's food. It's disgusting. I refuse to work around food. End of story.
