I am flat broke. I am even out of credit. And I have pawned or sold my guns save one (my first). And even selling that would just let me pay on more month of a couple of bills.
I am educated. I have a college degree. I went to grad school. Did all the work for two masters save a thesis. While on thesis, I decided I didn't want any more government loans. Got job offers, moved to where they were. Everything fell apart. Got temp work, substitute teaching and starting applying to every job I could do. Had some work, but not enough to pay all the bills. So I moved back home with my parents, after 10 years on my own.
I spend most of my days applying for jobs. I work some oddjobs, but most of those dried up. My degrees stalled as I didn't want more debt, but I forgot that withdrawing even temporarily meant bills were due. I got suckered by the State of CA getting certified for substitute teaching only to find most districts demand full credentials for even substitutes in my area.
I desperately need a job, any job. I have worked as a janitor. I have done accounting work for a nonprofit. I have been a host and busboy in a restaurant. I have done tons of clerical work, and I have managed classrooms of children from 1st grade through 12th. I do have some limited physical disability on one side of my body, but for 99% of jobs that doesn't matter.
I live in the San Gabriel Valley. I am willing and able to commute (as long as I come out ahead after gas and pay). I take jobs seriously. And the duty to earn the wage I am working for. I cannot continue this way. I apply to every job I can, but nothing. So I am asking anyone out there, do you have a job I could do? I am not picky.
I have never been on welfare, no unemployment. No SSI. I am thinking that is my only route if I don't get a job pronto. I don't want to live like that. I want to work. So, if you can, help a brother out?
