i feel like a loser mooching off of family and friends, but I don’t want to settle for working somewhere like applebee’s or McDonald’s. too much work for too little money.

i would like to relocate. in your experience, which states have the best welfare benefits? i would move anywhere, but i prefer it to be warm year round and not too rainy.

In case this isn't a joke, look outside your "field" for a position for which you are confident you can successfully fulfill 85% of the job duties. Branch out.

where i live, unless you are disabled, old, or have kids, it would be super hard to get any help. yeah, temping sucks, but see if you can find a temp job that works for a large bank. my cousin worked for Bank of A as a temp and was making 13 bucks an hour! if he could pull that off as a single parent, you can too! best of luck...

O.K. I'll say it.

it's not my fault there's too many people and not enough jobs. what the hell am i supposed to do? just starve? my college education costed me thousands of dollars, and you think i should just settle for a crappy temp, food service, or retail job? i should have not went to college in the first place, if that's the case.

the system screwed up the economy, making it hard to get good jobs. the same system should pay for those who cannot work.

Lazy much?

Umm- but you CAN work. You choose not to because you think you are better than the available positions.

You are not ENTITLED to anything. So if you don't want to starve- get off you butt, get a temp job or food service or retail job and stop waiting for the world to hand you things on a silver platter. It's called WORK for a reason.

why all the hostility?

don't be mad at me because you have to wake up at the pussy crack of dawn to take orders from a sweaty 250 pound man with a toupe.

don't be mad at me because you have to pay shitloads of money for gas in order to commute to and from work every day. i can just catch a ride with one of my boys or a family member.

don't be mad at me because you can't get laid because you have 90 hour work weeks.

don't be mad at me because you have to cover the toilet seat with TP everytime you take a dump. i don't have to do that, because i use my own damn toilet, not some public shithole.

Either get a cheap paying job wit something comming in or nothing at all!

Just because you cannot get a job at what you want or hoped for doesn't mean anything!

Eat or die!

Work your way up and see waht flies!

I'm going to answer this as if it was serious, and if not, then I wasted a couple of minutes...

Mr.Kev, in hindsight, you should have considered the type of loans you would have to re-pay when you made your college decision, and when you made the decision of whether to work through college. If you read the financial aid materials before you graduated, you should have known that payment would come due.

That being said, if you need to, take multiple jobs, or do temp jobs. It may not be pleasant, but it is much more pleasant than going on welfare. Life is not easy; you did not plan well for this point, and it does not sound like you have worked especially hard at getting a job, so now you are in a tight situation. Temp agencies can lead to permanent work, or to a better position within the company if you prove yourself.

Either way, you should not start relying on others (including the government) to bail you out of uncomfortable situations.

My lil sis sometimes pulls in $800 a week working almost full time at Applebee's.

To the OP, take a lower paying job while you look for something better. I say this because you're not going to get approved for benefits if the Department of Social Services sees that you're able-bodied and can work for a living. In my state, a single person, in their 20s and in good health would have to work at least 20hrs/week before they can be approved for welfare benefits.

If what I've written confuses you, remember this quote: "I'll do what I'll have to do, if it means I'll get to live indooors."

Either you are a troll or you are an unfortunate, pretentious, parasite on society as well as a waste of oxygen.

I don't think we're mad at you because most of us are not too good to work. What makes me angry, personally, is that you are such a useless leech that you would take money that should go to someone who can't feed their family because you are such a sorry piece or crap that you won't get off your lazy butt and work.

Newsflash. I know your mommy told you you were special, but now you have to be a big boy! You aren't special anymore. People work and you are not too good to, no matter what you think. Get over it.
