| I'm in need of a bit of advice. For those of you who don't like to read, the short version is I'm broke and I want to get stoned once or twice without bothering my friends. The extended version... I dropped out of high school and nabbed a GED a few years ago. No plans to ever step foot in college. I know too many people with degrees who can't find work. I have a pretty spotty work history; I'd work a few months, then quit and do nothing for a few months at a time. As of now, my last day at work was July 13th. I haven't saved a dime. I've never held a single job for more than 7 consecutive months (though I've worked for a company for 2 years under 4 managements). Only my first job (ever) piss tested me, and this was years ago before I'd taken up smoking. Since then I've been smoking and working only for places that don't test, so the problem isn't whether or not I'll pass a UA. Here's the issue that I have... I've applied to pretty much every dead end job (ya know, the only kind I'm qualified for) that I can think of that doesn't test. Lied my balls off on the applications. I got zero calls back, therefore didn't even make it to an interview. Keep in mind that I have phenomenally low charisma, and I can't do anything in sales or hospitality. I can't help but feel unhirable. Like a waste of space and a useless bag of meat. Does this mean that I'm not worthy of landing one of the lowest paying jobs in the country? Does it mean that there's no jobs left? I have some classes starting in a little over a week which will grant me an A+ technician certification. That won't do anything to get me a bit of income in the meantime though. All I want is to be able to get my 8th every week like I used to. Any suggestions? |

| Keep your head up man. I used to be like you, most jobs i had for about 3 months, got hired somewhere else and bailed on my last job. Then i lost my job, couldn't get hired anywhere, and started dealing just to make my bills. After dealing for a few months i really brought a lot of stress in my life, found myself smoking 3 times a day just to feel good, and felt like a complete loser. Then one day i snapped out of it. I scored a job at a sports bar, quit dealing, and have been working there ever since and only smoke once, maybe twice a week. Now im not trying to tell you dealing drugs is the way outta your situation, im saying there are more people out there like you, and i hope you can look at my situation and learn from my mistakes. The trick is, find a job you think you would LIKE, and do whatever it takes for an interview. The reason i went from job to job is i wasn't happy there, now i found a job i almost like going to, and it completely changed my life. EDIT: oh and one more thing for everyone reading, RESPECT YOUR DEALERS!!! i cant tell you how much more i respect the "good dealers" out there. You have no idea how stressful it can be and the shit they get/go through on a daily basis. If they are your regular dealer and hook you up, dont be a complete douche bag when your ounce is half a gram short or something retarded like that.

| I'd actually considered small time dealing, but there's the matter of the starting up money that I can't possibly get ahold of. I've had a grand total of $17 in the past 3 months. Even if I magically got a call back from a job that tests (I didn't apply to any) I wouldn't be able to afford all the vitamins n shit that people take to "cheat" on their drug tests. |

| The job i got, i had to go to a hospital and pee, i just stopped at the bathroom in the hospital on the way in, had a friend pee in a skinny but long bottle, taped it next to my balls, and wa-la. passed the test with flying colors. but anyway, yeah that sucks. i guess i had it lucky cause my i got my bud fronted to me. family baby =) but just seriously keep your head up and keep applying. There is no reason why you shouldn't get a job in a month if you really apply yourself. |

| Truthfully, there's a rough employment market out there for everyone. Things will pick up for you after school, maybe even before school if employers see your certification as an asset, they know you'll be worth the investment in the begining. If you're looking to just get an eighth a week, talk to a dealer you know and make a deal with him. Most dealers don't mind a known customer of theirs doing some of the leg work for them in return for a little bit of green.

| Possibly dealing for him. No start up costs, and you get paid in weed by the end of the week. I am not going to hassle you one bit, but consider: Do you want this to happen your entire life? It will if you dont find a permanent job, which usually requires training. It aint that hard. | |

| Not every dealer will front you bud, even if its as little as an 1/8 sometimes. So dont plan on it. Just start small, like this: If you buy an ounce for lets say $120, 28 grams, sell it in eighths for $20 each, you come up with $160, a $40 profit. And just work your way up from there. Once u get to QP's, i always bagged it up in eighths and halves, and kept the shake to myself. Then not only could i smoke for free, but the people i sold to never got shake in there bags, keep your buyers happy and they keep you happy. |
