Okay, so self employment may not be a good choice. But what is? There's got to be something not so stressful. And then there's the fact that it actually has to pay enough to support you. Its ridiculous what a huge difference it can be between income and cost of living. What is minimum wage now, something like $6 an hour? That's roughly $12000 a year, or $250 a week BEFORE taxes. Say you get lucky enough to find a place to rent for $500 a month, throw in a car payment, insurance & electricity. You've now used more than you earned, and haven't even bought gas or food yet! Man, life is just really depressing me lately.
