  • Try to finish school. It doesn’t matter if you work in the field, it shows you have grit and determination. The service industry sucks but it can be a leg up. Maybe coffee shop (not Starbucks, something indie if possible) for a more chill experience, wait tables for money. Or offer a service on your own like car washing/detailing, house cleaning, dog walking. Paste that toothpaste commercial smile on your face while interacting and tell your parents you make less than you do. Direct deposit to cashapp at least $350/month currently earns you 3¼% interest daily, and 3% discounts at some retailers. That’s less than $12/day for a month of earnings, so doable on part time income. If you work for yourself, undercut the competition, not yourself. For example, the professional detail shop wants $100 for a wash/detail, no wax. You do as good a job for $75 (plan to buy your own products, including a chamois). If you wait tables on Friday or Saturday nights and mostly smile and bring refills on beverages, you can probably make a couple of hundred on weekends, unless it’s some bs tip sharing scheme, but be prepared to tip out bussers a low percentage of your tips. They work hard to keep you working and deserve it.

    What’s your major, if you’re ok sharing?
