I was fired from my job as a security officer. I can't seem to get hired on by anyone for inhouse security. I can get hired on by another contract company, however not with a pernament post, I'd be working different sites & different shifts everytime day, which I refuse to do as gas cost, cost to keep licensing current, etc. it doesn't make no money to pay bills with, as every cent I make pay just to keep working (done it before). Other than working in pizza places thats the only other work I've done. Do to physical limitations (health probs & bad back) I'm unable to do manual physical labor. Even if I could get disability, it wouldn't be for several years, after being denied several times & having to hire an attorney (my dad had to & that was with being on oxygen 24/7). Even than I wouldn't make much as I'm only 23 years old & havent paid in much because of it. I need money for bills now & need steady income. How can I go about this?

Go back to school and in the mean time for money try working in a clothing store. Macy's, Armani Exchange, Abercrombie, Banana Republic etc. This way you can do light work and get clothing for free or at a discounted price as you go to school!!

If you are only working sporadically you may qualify for unemployment while looking for another job, or even partial unemployment if you are making less than what you would on unemployment...might be worth checking into.
How about finding a job in another field, or better yet, at your young age, find a job in a field that you like that is non-manual labor and go back to school and get a degree in it?
If you have been out on your own for over 2 years, you probably qualify for student loans that not only that will pay for your classes, but your housing and living expenses.
Depending on your income, you may qualify for other grants or be involved in a work-study program (when I was when I was in college, it was part-time working 2 1/2 hrs a shift in the cafeteria in the dorm where I lived and it was easy.
Cheaper alternatives and better direct routes to a career are techincal and vocational school (only advice is to make sure that any credits you earn there could be transferred to an accredited university if you choose to do so in the future) and some programs offer certificate that can be earned in as little at 18 months, to Associates degrees (2-2 1/2 years) to Bachelor's (at least 4 years) degrees. Accounting is a good paying field that you can break into with a certificate that pays well and requires no manual labor.

An employer cannot say that you were fired. The only thing they can say is that they will or won't hire you again.
Use a friend who you worked with as a reference or don't put the job on the applicatiion. Also, don't put any medical problems, unless you are protected by law.

Your best bet it to apply for grants and loans and go to college and get an education. Only then can you make enough money to support yourself.
