try hospitals--does your area do candystriping or allow for volunteers in children's wards?\n\nI'm not sure what's around in your area, but perhaps behavior centers, nursing homes, etc. might help

Newspapers work, also try small local neighborhood or are newspapers. We have several Internet employment sites , www.jobdango.com is one. I can't remember the other ones. Also the employment office in the are of New York you will be working in.

You can try the YWCA and see what they can do.\nThe link below has the contact info for YWCA's Across the country. Just click on the picture of New York state and you'll be given the list. Good luck.

It has a good reputation, especially if you are a devout Catholic.  It's not much of a party school, and the Portuguese-language community in New York is not enormous.  But New York is very expensive.  You might also look into the similar Marquette University, in Milwaukee; similar climate, but much less expensive (in a smaller city, but close to Chicago).

You are smart to think about this now. Go back to St. John's financial aid office and see if you can get a student job either with the school or in the city while you attend. There are a lot of jobs in NYC so you should be able to get one or two and work partime during the school year and full time in the summer. Also check into VISTA or the National Guard. These programs will help you through school. Good luck.

The Cooper Union in NYC. Tuition is free...if you can get in. Likewise Olin College, in Massachusetts. Free, but you need to be admitted, and that's not so easy.

Volunteer work is good. College is 'paid experience.' What you don't have in practical experience is made up for the 4 years of discipline. This sounds like you have an opportunity to shine with writing ability! Get their attention and sell yourself--they are giving you the chance. Good Luck.

I have always heard that the universities,colleges, etc. rent out the empty dorms during the summer. Another idea,not sure how close it is or if it is in NYC,Youth Hostel,depending on your age or Senior Hostel if that fits the age category.

You should go to a fashion design college that majors in it. I want to be a fashion designer to and some great colleges I have visited and looked at are F.I.T, short for Fashion Institute of Technology, in New York. They have all the classes that will help you make great designs and make you a better designer. Plus its in one of the major Fashion citys. You cant do wrong with New York. Another college is Kent State University in Ohio, they also have a fashion design major. You should also try applying for a intern, i have seen many in magazines like Seventeen and TeenPeople. There are also alot of contest too, you just have to look around for them. You should also make some of your designs and have people wear them, that will start othe people to start wearing them too. I have designed some purses,jeans, and jewerly, and by having some of my friends wear them I have sold alot.

I would check the classifieds, especially if there is a college with a paper of their own nearby.  Also, Monster.com and Fastweb.com are very helpful for finding jobs for youth.  Other places to look are retail stores and restaurants (before 18 you can only be a greeter at the front).  I'm not sure of jobs specific to your area, but these are pretty good places to check...good luck!

Swing a dead cat! lol\nSeriously, check out the scene and pick a few places you like the looks of. \nAustin's a College town so there may be a few Bartending gigs available.

Depends on where you live and where you are in your career.  If you've been out of school for a while, then any college that offers courses will do.  Just make sure you get you foot in the door at a respectable company through internships and networking.  If your still and school, then the best bet as far as I'm concerned is the Cooper Union in NYC.  www.cooper.edu

On.  Living in NYC w/o college assistance would be very expensive

All the details and phone numbers that you need are on these four pages.\n\n   http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/pdf/ejic/GED.pdf\n\n Now about the link below.
