Default Rancher is depressed :(

I need a damn job. I'm getting bored at night now. CS doesn't take the pain away... or occupy my time well enough anymore.

I hate working retail, but at this point I'm willing to do it just to have an income. Food service really isn't much of an option around here, and I wouldn't do it anyway. Unless I was a bartender

Anyway. I was sort of looking for tips on how to get more motivated and "sell myself" to an employer. I'm thinking of just getting some retail job temporarily until I get a better one doing something I like more.

I applied to a few places last month and no calls I'd like to work at UPS. Seems like a pretty nice deal. But they didn't call me back

i work closely with the public school schudule. and they are off for summer vacation soon.

i can get a job being a sports coordinator with the same organization i am with now for the summer. but i am kinda using that as a back up because of the limited hours being offered. i am really hoping for the day camp counselor position with a space and science center that is no more than 5 miles from my house. if i get that job, i more than double (almost triple) my current income h: but i applied kinda late since the position starts in ~3 weeks, and its been 5 days since i turned in my application. :sad:

oh. but you're back in 3 months, though right? But that'd still be cool to get that camp counselor job. Multiple amounts of the current income is always good.

county clerical or IT job
school computer lab tech or teachers aid

it would help to know what your major/desired career is

That's another thing that's pissing me off. I can't decide what the hell to do with my life. I've had bad college class experiences and my credits are real low

I'm leaning towards a computer-related field. Graphic Design, or computer technician, etc. I'm pretty ok with computers right now, so I can probably pull off a computer lab tech. I can try going to our computer lab, though.

What county clerical or IT job could I have with no credentials or whatever?
