Door-to-Door.  Ask people if they need anything doing.  If you do the job well enough, you'll get recommendations for it which means more money.  There are also papers you can post free advertisements in.

If anyone knew they'd be doing it themselves rather than sitting around on Y!A.\n\nBut try getting a part time job or getting the local paper to do a story on you as a 'handyman'.

If a doctor has released you to go back to your job, but there is no work, that means you are laid-off, or unemployed, so you should be able to collect unemployment.  You should have gotten a works man's comp for the time you missed while injured!  If you suspect that they are not letting you back for a reason, then maybe you should see a lawyer!

You've already got a good start on it.  You made your demand, not wait a bit and see if you get a check in the mail.  If not, use the ministry of labour as your proxy.  Whatever they told you about making a claim, do that.  However, be aware that your urgent need doesn't mean that the employer has to drop everything in order to meet your demands.

Do you have any friend that would help you out with a carwash?  If you have a carwash, make up a short letter about what you are trying to do and pass that out to people when they park their car for the carwash.  Then collect the money afterwords and you may get more if people support what you are trying to do.\n\nWriting letters to business is a good idea also.\n\nYou could also hold a cardboard sign at the nearest stoplight and beg.   Write something like "Model in Need of Cash".  Then again, that may not be a hot idea.

I had the same problem.  I used a few techniques to solve this problem:\n\n1. Imagine yourself without a job and struggling in unemployment lines for any financial assistance. How terrible would that be?\n\n2. If you have a computer, connected to the internet at work, try joining an online multiplayer game, or chatroom, or something to look forward to everyday when you are on your way to work. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS DURING BREAK!\n\n3. Try to make friends at work, they might help you make work more fun (or a NIGHTMARE :P)\n\n4. (this one worked the best for me)  Imagine that you work for yourself, you own a business.  If you are a bank teller, imagine that you run a bank service business and the bank that you work for is your customer.  If you are an accountant at a company, consider yourself an accountant consultant for this company.  You are not just getting a bi-weekly paycheck, you are getting paid for the work that you do.  The point here is to believe that NO ONE owns you, you work for yourself, but you have some responsiblities you have to take care of in order to get paid.  So make best of it.\n\n5.  Try picking up hobbies afterwork, like baseball, soccer, bowling, etc.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good Luck!\n-Mo

Go to the DSS.  Get some food stamps to help you get back on your feet.

i'm in the same postion - unemployed for six months.  i have learned that if you have to 'invest' money - its a scam.  keep checking your local unemployment office and also social services may be able to help.  my problem is i'm over quailifed for 'low end' jobs and under quailifed for the 'better' jobs.  \n\ngood luck

the hospital question, no there are some prorams availible to help pay or to pay in full if you are really below income levels. unemployment: yes mostly but if you haven't found a job or got called back there is an emergency contingency.the question on poor people, yes we do and it is deplorable and heart wrenching. and for the last question,yes we do there doesn't seem to be much of a middle road. you either have money or you have to struggle with what you have.I hope this info helps

If you have a job, then go to Check Into Cash or Money Tree.\n\nIf you DON'T have a job, try selling something, or seeing if someone will let you borrow some money.

other than the student loan route, try salliemae which is a private organization that lends money to students and try the banks.\n\nDepending on which bank, they may have an educaitonal loan dept which would give you a break even if your credit isn't that hot right now.\n\nas far as the car, save up some money and buy one used.\n\ndo you have any relatives that you can borrow money from?  Or take a year off, work two jobs, save up and then go back.  is that an option?

First of all keep your head up. You've got to believe in yourself. Get a basic low paying job to start. Find a true friend who can put you up temporarily and work your way up. Your drive and desire will pull you through. God bless you.

Fly to Mackay or any mine town in Queensland or the rest of Australia and go to the local pub when you get there.  Ask a few of the locals or even the bartender,  you will get a job within a day,  they are screaming for people to work at the moment.  Good luck its hard yakka  ")
