I Have Lost My Job Support Apolyton

To no fault of my own, mind you. I merely decided to quit. However, as I am currently totally without a source of income, I would like your assistance in choosing some sort of future job, hopefully one available during the summer as that's where all the time is.

Well?

Long story, that's not important. I was hoping for decent suggestions, although I'm assuming Osweld was talking about circus "staff" as opposed to circus "clown staff" and thus will not take his remark too personally.

Anyone have a serious response to give? That'd be great. Paik, been there done that. Asher, what business are you into these days anyway?

I wouldn't know, I've never been a Chartered Accountant, nor have I ever worn fishnet stockings. I have worked midnight shifts though.

Right now I'm happily employed as a full time student.

Not true. AnnC worked at MS, I certainly didn't worship her. I do respect a lot of people who work at MS, because to get there you need to know what you're doing. You may it seem like blind worship, like those Linus Torvalds followers, but it's not.

I'd love to work there though. Pretty good money to say the least.

your age and your educational background will play a big part in what job you get.
i think you're in high school, right? what i did in high school, and what seemed to pay alot better than what most other people did in high school was lifeguarding/teaching swimlessons. it doesn't take much to get certified as either, it's easy to learn, it's fun to do, and most places are in high demand of them. pay is usually pretty good. my 16 year old sister makes about 10-12 dollars an hour doing public lessons and lifeguarding, and she teaches private lessons at 30$ for a half and hour.
i'm in the army, 23 years old, and she makes more than i do. (but it's ok, because i taught her how to swim from when she was little coached her swim team, and taught her lifeguarding class, and got her the job she has now. )
