I think a good idea would be to call a mortuary and ask someone who works there. I am sure they are dying to talk to a live person for a change. *smile* I'm joking, but I'm serious.\n\nAlso try looking up "mortuary assistant" in Yahoo! Search.

I had a friend that had a similar situation. Air force mechanic. He got a job in building maintenance to support his family. On his time off, he applied to city and town utility maintenace companies. Such as train, subway, private aerospace companies, bus companies, other transportation companies, etc. He is now with an international company that makes airplanes, subway train cars, and commuter trains. \nHopefully, this little note may inspire some ideas for you\nGood Luck!

i would define a good job as one you enjoy, are good at , and pays a fair wage that makes you feel its worth your time.  with the experence you have working for your mom you have a good start but your age does limit your options. is there a marina near you? borrow a vacume cleaner and cleaning supplies and offer to clean boats for people. offer to go fer for people on the beach, you know go fer food, drinks, sun block ask for a buck a trip. start a rent a kid service to do odd jobs like picking up a yard or helping clean a garage. take care of pets. run to the store for shut ins. you get the point by now i'm sure. good luck. i'm looking for someone like you myself since i always need help on the place but 1200 miles is a bit too far of a commute i guess

Ohcynthia, good for you. The decent job is important too because we don't want going to our jobs while the guy is sitting on the sofa with the remote all day.\n\nCheck out activites that are in another city (because we don't know where you are) - even one town away - that will help you meet a different group of guys. You see, it's not a matter of some guy coming in to rescue; you have to initiate your own rescue!\n\nAlso try taking a night class at a local college, community college or junior college. The cost is usually low, parking fees are waived, and you'll come across people who want to better themselves -- just like you. Best of luck. Things will be looking up soon.

I am 51 years old and I decided to go back to school and get a business degree in Entrepreneurship because I am older and feel that opportunities for us are limited.\n\nBut you can still work at hotels, and work up in higher positions.  I currently work at a hotel and plan on applying for jobs within the hotel after I get my degree, and the big plus is that they are paying for my education.\n\nValet jobs, drivers...school bus or city bus, parking meter readers, any city position.\n\nCasino's as dealers\nWaiters in banquets\n\nDon't give up...it is attitude more than anything.  Use your network of people that you know...they are a very good source of information.\n\nWhat type of work were you doing before?

By the end of high school one is supposed to have decided what he/she would like to be or do. I was a university freshman at 17 and just taking general courses when I saw some guy carrying a drafting board. Since I grew up around my father's drafting board and I am very good at drawing, the decision to ba an architect came easily. Got licensed and worked abroad. (Twenty years later I have decided to be something else---a mom.)  Go for something you enjoy doing because it will be more fun than work.

Not weird at all!  I've been home since 2002.  Started off, the birth of my last child, and now ended off being medical, had a cornea transplant last december and now about to have the other eye done next month.  I am excited that I should have perfect eyesight beginning next summer, but I am estatic that I may be able to go out and get a job.  Mind you, not a career, my family is my career and I had my own graphic design business, but I mean a J.O.B.  As most career women like yourself, we began working so early and for so long that we don't know how to do nothing.  Alright, so find something to do.  What do you do as a hobby now?  Make it your own career.  Do you know, this million dollar 'make a bear' business started as a hobby?  I'm sure there is something that you like to do everyday that people just know its Your knack.  Take it a parlay it into your new career move.  I'm sure making some money on the side wont hurt either! smile, good luck.

hard work and a great agent. You should probably even go to classes for it first to have an edge but I've heard it's a very hard business to get into if you don't sound unique.

take positive action today, right now. Life is too short and precious. I am your age and have recently retrained after 2 horrible years of illness. I am now doing a job i love. It was tough to get here but well worth it. Be prepared for things to get a little worse before they get better. for example you may be quite low on cash for a while. \nFirst...what do you want to do? need inspiration? look through the job pages, or check out what courses are available. \nsecond...if you don't want to be in this country, where do you want to be? \nthird...how about giving yourself some thinking time and doing something positive and rewarding to fight off the depression? You're young enough to be eligible for loads of charitable organisations, for example BUNAC. They pay for your flights, you do some volunteer work in an interesting place. Might help to get you some perspective.\ngood luck xx

Go for a job you want to do.  I might be reading too much into what you wrote, but it doesn't sound like being a hair stylist interests you.  However, if cosmetology and hair styling is something you like, but you are just a little frightened about your lack of skills, try cosmetology school.  They can give you the confidence you need.  Keep in mind that a professional in this field is part artist, part craftsperson, part technician and part business person.\n\nI'm non-plussed by folks who trudge day-in and day-out at a job they dislike.  Yes, there are some that have to do this just to make ends meet -- I've been in that position.  There are people, however, that do have free time and energy, but don't make use of them to get into a career they're better suited for.  If you find yourself in a bad job, keep it until you've built up enough to move on to something you want to do.\n\nYou mentioned you like art and photography.  Have you considered a position at a gallery, a studio or as an artist's or photographer's assistant?  There are lots of jobs at all levels in the arts.  If you truly don't want to be a cosmotologist, try to feed your art and photography needs with a job in this area.\n\nUnless I absolutely had to, the last place I would look for work is in a field I didn't like.

Good for you, thinking about starting your own business.  I do agree though look into it before you place your $$$ into it.  I don't live in your area so I don't know how things are there but here well I thought of it myself.  I am planning a wedding of my own for October and there was not one person or business that I thought treated me as a bride the way that I should be treated. And I was looking for the help. There is no place that can help with every arrangement.  Keep in mind if you do do this that you need to be able to cater to everyone and their budget.  Good luck to you!!

*smiles*\n\nIt's possible. The east coast is a good starting ground. Be happy you're not living in Missouri.

I'm not sure what state you live in but try the jobs and family services for your county.  Do you have a community center.  Our's here offers them  Maybe even A YMCA would know.  Here in Ohio you can be 11 years old.  Try your school also.

There are a few things to consider here... I've been in the rest/bar business for years.  (What IS your JOB?) I would try, at least for a while, to do BOTH... starting your own business requires a lot of committment. (I own a Flower Shop and worked nites in the bar business to help pay the bills) If you are able my suggestion would be to keep a day job, and work the bar evenings... it would eleiminate the need for additional help and the tips could also be used to help with finances.  PLUS any bar that I have ever worked in has done better if the OWNER is actually a part of the team... rather than someone who comes in takes the money and makes the deposit.  You obviously like the industry... jump in w/ both feet and be available as much as possible... it is YOUR business - be as big a part of it as you can.

Start your own pet sitting/dog walking service...ask those ppl for donations and take the money you earn to save up to go to fla...you might also volunteer at the local shelter and put up flyers while your there and network with ohter animal lovers who might be able to help you...any dream worth living will take focus,commitment and effort on your part to come true..good luck!
