Nope, Ive just burnt through it all. I managed to pay my rent, utilities, phone, food, and credit bills the past couple of months, and I have about $400 left over. Im about to be kicked from my apartment in three weeks unless I can come up with the money somehow

I know, my rent and bills are about $1100/mo and I don't live... I'm sure it's much higher for people who actually do things.

Is there anything like landscaping in the town/city you're in? I'm in school to be a Network Tech and have another year to go, so I'm just landscaping for the summer. $20+/h, good outdoor work, plenty of it (I'd say, typically), easy to quit, easy to interview on if you can work hard. I'd do it in the interim any time I'm not in my preferred field.

Did you look at jobs prior to graduating? I don't know what the procedure is for grad school but when I finished my bachelor we were supposed to start looking around November for graduation in April/May.

Have you ever used a job site to apply for jobs? Indeed is the most prevalent where I am. I typically apply to 4-6 jobs at a time.

That's kinda crazy, since some places are hiring on the spot. Do you not have a work history?

You also shouldn't just apply to a lot of these places. You should eventually call or visit in person and talk to someone about your application.
