Apokalips1337 is on a distinguished road
Default Im jobless

And i dont have a car so its pretty hard to find a job i know i can get too and from. But in the mean time im also looking for fast ways to make some cash.
Does anyone know any ways to make money fast and easy. One thing i really want to do is take online surveys for money. Is there any LEGIT websites i can go to for this?

thanks!

Legit.
No.
It's honestly difficult to make fast cash.

Fast and easy are two words to never be paired. Now that it is summer (almost) time you can mow lawns. If you are over 18 try donating plasma. Its not quick (can take up to two hours) and the money is not even that great I think you can do it 4 times a month, but you will only get like $25 each time. You can make loads of money donating sperm as well, however you have to be literally the perfect candidate less than 1/2 of a percent of those who apply actually meet that criteria. Plus the process to become a donor takes over 6 months. Other than that nothing is legit.

Craigslist > Services

Start marketing yourself like a maniac... start local. Within walking distance, start blanketing the neighborhood with resumes/applications. Get Contact numbers wherever you drop them off. Keep calling places back DAILY. It's rough right now, but as long as you keep at it, you can be employed again....

There's no such thing as fast cash. Money doesn't grow on trees, you know, and at this time, finding a job is extremely hard. I suggest going to your local Job conventions which are going on these days. Over there, hundreds of people go into a convention where jobs are offered. Or, post in the classified part of your newspaper. Or, work at Mcdonalds for 15 dollars an hour.

Now that I know your age, try riding your bike to work or to the closest bus station. Then really you can work anywhere. Just be sure to get a chain lock, and feed it through the bikes chassis not the wheels. Depending on your experience, is really all that holds you back from a decent paying job.

Might rise new problems though for your family, like a tombstone and a casket.

Huh? Unless he is driving taxi in the hood he should be fine! lol... AND I know some taxi drivers that prefer driving in the hood because pimps, strippers, people who go to strip clubs, usually tip well.

With no car, your options are probably limited. Try to figure out what businesses are within reach to you (walking / bicycle / scooter) and then market yourself accordingly - and when I mean businesses, that includes homeowners. Babysitting? gardening? Deli / fast food joint nearby? Paper boy?

Also, get your SS card replaced. You'll need it for other things.

Good luck!

Im not going to read replys, and Im not going to give suggestions. All I want to say is good luck. My dad just lost his. You really have to adjust. Those job sites help.

How about you get off ZuneBoards and go to Monster Jobs or somewhere like that? Wouldn't that be a better use of your time?
