Answer 1

Where did you apply?
How much do you hope to make?
Perhaps your expectations for your age are a little too high?

Right out of high school most young people will not be selected for work that pays for knowledge and experience. Why? Because they require knowledge and experience to perform the work properly allowing the business to get paid so it can pay their workers. Money does not magically appear in a business' bank account - they earn it.

What are you interested in doing?

Let's say you want to be a veterinarian. Not that you do, but you gave no clue, so I will use that as an example.

You could try getting work as a receptionist at a vet's office. If not, then go work at a burger or pizza place and volunteer at the vet's office until you learn enough to get hired.

Then go to school. Many times a place of employment will assist in some way if you are interested in educating yourself in that field.

Go research what you want to do on the Web. If you want to model, go read Tyra's site. If you want to work in graphic arts, go read the websites and blogs of artists.

You are the only one who can get you where you want to go. Figure out where your interests lie and go find out everything you need to about it.

In the meantime, do what work you need to do to get there (legally). Many actors, doctors, lawyers, etc., all started out small (waitresses, stockboys, etc.) working their way up. Go read biographies on someone you respect so you get a feel for what they had to do to get there, don't just look at where they arrived.

You can do it. :-)
Good luck!

Answer 2

I know - life sucks sometimes - best thing to do is take any job that is going - working in a corner shop - anything! Once in there you will gain some experience - once you gain experience it is esaier to find something else - the other thing to consider is once you have a job and are working - it's easier to find another job.

Just don't get down hearted about it - it is common and we've all been there at some point
