how do you make ends meet?

I avoid writing software.

I sell my body for crack and then sell that crack to school children.

Brilliant!

I want to go back to school to become a History, philosophy, or theology proffessor, or journalist. I'd also like to help mentally ill and addicts.

I've got a a year 25 credits of College but should have more but it's hard for me to make it a semester without having to be hospitalized for Psychosis.

I don't want to waste any more money registering for classes, doing well for a time, and then having a flow blown psychotic break before finals, weeping, having outbursts of profanity and blasphemy, and flopping and convulsing like a salmon out of water on the floor of the College restrooms...getting too drunk and vomiting all over the Library etc.

In the last sememster I had to make three trips to the ER, two required hospitalization inpatient another a change of medication. I spent more than two months at a manor for the insane but was kicked out for downing bottles of cough syrup (Dextromethorphan is a dissacociative cough suppressant in the family of ketamine, nitrous oxide, and PCP).

Came home to Montana late January and now make tacos and operate fry station and cash register. Will go back 2 Minnesota this summer and hopefully become a teacher. We'll see if miracles happen. Don't got my hopes too high lol

Not a DAMN thing. I want to do a thing for a living, but everywhere I have applied, and I have applied many places, I have gotten no response whatsoever afterward. My mom says this is because I need more aggressive and after I apply for a job, I need to go to someone who has something to do with me getting that job and fucking tell them I applied for the job and that I want it. I really don't want to do that, because then I would be interacting with a person. But if the need for me to have a job becomes desperate enough, I will definitely do it. Meanwhile, my trust fund, which is all the money I have in the world to live on, is dwindling and it is bothering my mom immensely because it is so obsessively important for her to have enough money that no matter what happens, it will be okay and we will be able to cover it financially.

She is a person that fundamentally is not the kind of person that would ever be in debt, because that idea is so fucking abysmal to her that it will NEVER happen to her.

work at a golf course, also go to school.

I used to make money by selling people what they could get for free. Now, I make money by selling people things they could buy for a lot, LOT less than I charge.

Sort of like a male prostitute without the condoms and the guilt.

I am a printer. No -- not a machine that puts text and pictures on paper, but a person who controls machines that create everything from litography to store window decorations.
I'm also an experienced line cook, but I only do that for extra money nowadays.
In my spare time I'm writing a novel. I manage to write between 1000-1500 words per day, which isn't that bad considering I work almost full time.

When I interviewed for my current position my (now former) boss basically ended the interview saying "Well, I'd offer you the job but..." to which I replied, "If you offered the job, I'd accept it so..."

And I walked out with the job.

I think interviewing, especially, is a skill - the skill of getting people to like you enough in twenty minutes that they'd want to spend the next five years in your company for 9 hours a day.

That's pretty close to my financial policy: I'm a freakish saver. I'm buying a condo right now which will dwindle my back accounts to a mere $10k non-touchable emergency-only fund and I'm a little freaked that I won't be able to save enough monthly to build a nice little slush fund.

We'll see how it goes.


As for my job: aspiring architect (not yet licensed)

Dream job: Cat furniture designer

Jobs I think would be super fun: contractor, furniture designer/builder, upholsterer (if I had the necessary arm strength that would be such a fun job)

I'm hoping maybe I could get a job selling myself online. I should have pursued that more when I was 18. Aren't porn stars ussually between 18-27
