Jin - Welcome to the high flying world of care work Do they all have to be RMN's to work in care homes over there do they? Over here you can become a support worker with no experience whatsoever, all the training is on the job. Although my field is mental health instead of the elderly, the job's much the same. (yep, I have done a lot of cleaning up poo, wee, vomit and blood over the years).
For the purposes of this thread though, care work's not much good, it's very low paid - you don't do it for the money |

Yea, there are RNs and there are aides. It was a really high paying job for my first job(9$ an hour), but then again, it's not like I was living off of it. It was just enough for books and to build my own computer. | |||

Well, I thought about it before you even mentioned it, Kutske, and the idea of whoring myself out isn't exactly an appealing on--- wait, "Back in the day..."?
I can't give up the car, it's the only way of getting to work or home that I have, and there aren't any conveniently-placed nursing homes that I can work at to help care for old people. My real aim here is just to have either the work I do circumvent the cost that it requires to actually attend, or to work several jobs, one of which is TRU and another of which is closer, or pays enough so that I can get there on time, or that isn't a restaurant. I've worked in restaurants for almost five years, it's the worst line of work there is, and I wouldn't exactly trade my soul for a job in the food service industry again. It's not worth the stress and the pay isn't exactly amazing. Still, there are some things I should be saving up for... I might have to bend and break soon enough. But my older sister works at a restaurant constantly, and she never seems to have any money. Ever. I wonder where it all goes... |

If you have atleast 60 credits, you can become a substitute teacher, which pays around 13-ish bucks.
Well, atlest in Virginia, I don't know what the rules in Rhode Island are. But it's completely flexible, you only go to jobs you want to take. Also, have you considered scaling school back to part time? Or will that invalidate some scholarships and grants you've received? There's no shame in taking an extra year to finish up, or going to school in the summer. (edited by Tommathy on 01-23-06 11:15 PM) |

Whore yourself out.
Or do what a bunch of parents did. Work full time, go to school full time. It's doable, you just have to sacrifice sleep and junk man. You might have to work in a restaurant, swollow your damn pride for a bit, it isn't that bad. Your sister is obviously addicted to drugs... or has a bunch of payments on new things she got a while ago. Bills, etc, I'm guessing. You know, you could try and sell some works of fiction. Short stories and stuff. |

Originally posted by Tommathy This is what I was thinking. You could slow down a bit, lesson your load, focus on getting money that's necessary. That doesn't mean you have ti quit school... just bring it down to a level you can maintain without ripping the hair out of your head. |

Grey: Well, I thought about it before you even mentioned it, Kutske, and the idea of whoring myself out isn't exactly an appealing on--- wait, "Back in the day..."? I'm several hundred years old -- and by several I mean seven. In those seven hundred years, I've been on both sides of the plate, so to speak, and I've probably still got a few favors I can pull, contacts listed in some tome somewhere.
