I was in the same boat when I was 17. I'm 20 now. I became a merchandiser (no experience necessary usually). All you do is go into retail stores, such as Walmart/Best Buy, and do certain tasks that the company assigns you, for example..making sure the cash registers have enough credit card applications OR re-stocking a few items on a shelf. Very easy, you choose your own hours. Pay starts at $10.00 & up depending on what company you go with and what tasks are involved. There is a website called www.Narms.com You search the "job bank" and enter you city information and pick the occupation, which would be "merchandier". Some great companies to look out for are: Premium Retail, Advantage, National In-Store (NIS). Some of them offer health benefits. Well, hope this helps?

First quit calling yourself a drop out. At least you have a GED. You can take an entrance test at community college and get job specific training. If you have been living on your own than you can get Fed Pel Grant that will pay most.
Mean time if you have a job with some relation to what you are thinking about taking it will help you in the future.
Even if it is only a class or two to begin with.
I am taking classes at this college sounds much better doesn't it?
Been there, Making 65K now.

Some professions will recognize a GED as high school completion, others may not. A job in law enforcement may require a degree in Criminal Justice. Your best bet is to do your homework (no pun intended). That is, call around to different places that you may want to work (ask for human resources) and ask them what qualifications you need to be seriously considered for employment. They will most likely be very helpful. There are vocational training programs out there as well. You can check with your local employment development department at the State level. They often have free training programs and job search resources. You just have to know to ask for them. You can also check for a community program that provides specific training courses for nominal fees, such as Regional Occupational Programs (ROP). You may be able to get job specific training this way in a very short period of time, and at very little cost to you. Also check with your local community college system. They often have some great vocational training courses where you can earn certificates and get job placement services, and they won't turn you away for only having a GED. Good Luck!

You may also look out for an option to work online. Although it wont pay you like full time job but you can make extra cash in your spare time. I am a part time worker doing work online at home, so I would like to share a link where you can make $600-$1500 in a month working at home. The work need to be done is posting/answering a discussion and uploading any photo/image of your interest. For details visit

You may also write to me at talkofmoney@rediffmail.com (Note: When u are planning for a home based online work, be careful because most of them are scam and ask you to pay initial money. never pay money to any such site.)

You can try out Temporary Services, or go to your local Jobs and Family Services (a,k.a. human services,welfare) they might be able to help you find employers or offer you paid training.
