Here’s my predicament- I’m 19 years old and living in West Hills, California, and my mother has become such an overbearing straightjacket that it’s time for me to move out. I’ve already made plans with some friends to get a place in July, but that’s going to require me finding a better paying job first. I currently work at Starbucks, which pays me $7.18 an hour (after my 6-month raise from $7/hr. yee haw.) plus tips, which actually don’t add up to much. Just extra pocket money.
What I’m looking for is possible suggestions on where to go from here- I’m a full time college student, so I couldn’t do a 9 to 5 thing. I’m looking for a job that would pay at minimum $9 or $10 an hour. Any suggestions would be welcome, because I really don’t have a good idea of what’s out there.
