As of right now i don't think i have ever been in a tougher situation in my whole life! I am so frustrated that i just want to drop to my knees and start crying, i have no clue what to do or what is going to happen next.
The reason why i am frustrated is because i have been trying to find a job for the past month and a half! I have literaly applied for at least 20 jobs.. I only got offered one interview, and that didn't go to well. During the end of the interview the employer told me "just to let you know there is 11 other applicants applying to work for this store, and there is only one full-time postion avaible." After he said that i knew i probley wouldn't get the job because of the fact that there is only a 10 percent chance that they will pick me for the position. And ofcorse they didn't pick me! Iam currently still applying for every job that i come across.
The reason why i need a job so bad is because i recently moved into an apartment, so i can go to school. I had enough money to pay for the first two months of rent, but not the third. The third month of rent is comming up fast, and i have no job. I dont know what to do, and if i dont find a job i'll get kicked out of my apartment which leaves me homeless. I came to the conclusion that if i don't find a job within this half month i have two choices: (1) drop out of school and go live with my parents, or (2) get a credit card to pay the third month of rent...
Does anybody have any advice to help my situation??? And have any of you guys been in a situation similar to mine that made you feel like droping to your knees and start crying??? Feel free to tell your stories.

Yes and it was happened on me before.
I was so depressed, so disappointed, so frustrated and kept on telling myself, why am i doing this, what's the use?
Then i realized that even all of the people left me, i will prove them wrong and i will show them that i can do something with my own and i am so greatful that i did.
And i will never give up! i never did!
Have a nice day ahead from Francis.

Aww I'm sorry for what you are going through! I can understand how hard that would be. As far as advice, definitely keep looking for a job. Brush up on your interviewing skills, so if you get an interview, you will do good. There are sites you can go to online that will help you with that. Also, is there someone that could possibly loan you money for your rent for this month? It sounds like you are somewhat close to your parents, I'm sure they would be willing to help you out. I don't think you want to drop out of school. Obviously if you're in school you're going to get a better job than if you didn't go to school...so you have to think of things in the long-run. Don't drop out of school! As for the credit card, that's tough. It could help the situation right now, but you don't want to end up getting into credit card debt. And lastly, try not to give up! You can't give up! You just have to know that things are going to get better. Even though it may not seem like it, they will. Best of luck!

Hey thanks for replying, i appreciate it. Yea i definetly don't want to drop out of school especially because i am doing really well! I won't take that route unless it is absolutly necessary, whici i don't think it will be.. I would ask my parents for money, but at the moment they are living paycheck to paycheck and i don't want to make things harder for them.
