Need money & life advice?

B4 u answer, plz read the ?. What to do... Mom of 2, lives in very rural area, very little job skills, area unemply rate = YUCK, no money (and I mean 00), no legalized vehicle, no babysitter options because one is too old for daycare and not enough neighbors but 2 young to stay alone, have no friends either. So how does one with loads of ambition, but no resources break the cycyle? I used to be a bartender, but those jobs are 0 to none. Can't type fast enough to get office job, and even McD's doesn't hire here, because everyone is out of work (SE US). I am about to lose everything and don't know what to do. Tried to find a job close to home so the $3 a gal gas don't kill me - nothing. Closest metro area is 30 miles. Open to civilized suggestionsNeed money %26amp; life advice?
lots of ambition caught my eye...





how about cleaning houses? not something you want to do forever, but it's ok for now to pay the bills...





if your willing to work, you can make some money doing this... read books... .free books from the library... when I read, I learn... learning is a life long process... hhmm, perhaps a public library near you is hiring?





you may not see it now, but you have options.... this is America.. lots of choices here. :)





todays millionaires started from nothing... to get to where they are.. you can do it to!





if the kids are old enough, bring them with you to help???





just thinking outloud here.. trying to get your thought process going.Need money %26amp; life advice?
if you are a single mother. then try state assist program. if used correctly they can be a great benefit. they will pay for child care while you search for a job or take job training(such as typing class) If you are open to it you can then transfer your case to that nearby metro area and already be set up with a place and child care maybe even food until you land a job. bigger cities have buses and they are not very expensive but may take getting up early getting home late to make all your stops. In the long run it will be worth it. don't give up, be creative, you'll make it.
Rely on welfare. Go back to your parents. Borrow some money and spend it on interview clothes, resume print outs. Get child support from the father of your children. Go to a place where they are hiring. Check out monster.com.
Maybe you should try moving, find some realatives or friends that would help you with the kids, so less day care costs. Then go job hunting farther out. Then once your back on your feet, maybe then you can afford a sitter and gas and everything. Another option could be finding a website that needs some type of help..... if you know any computer skills or artistic skills, depending on what they need that could also help. And that would most likely also be a stay-at-home-job. But if its really 30 miles from a metro area..... maybe you should move to a place where its easier to get a job.... do you really want to struggle your entire life with something like this, because theres no places around that you can get a job at?
You got a tough situation going. Best bet is to find someone who will support you and the kids. That might mean a move. You have care skills which will work so center on those.
