I mean, when you are at school. When I was in high school, I used to buy the things that is needed with my own money. I worked every weekends... I was supporting myself.
After my high school, I didn't proceed to college. You know, what I'm getting during weekends is not enough! So, I got a job and I'm trying to save some... for my school next year.
Are you? What do you think about this?

I did little things and tried to support myself with what amount of money I could bring in. I'm in college now, and I've applied for several jobs but I've been unsuccessful in getting them so far, which is rather frustrating and has kind of turned me against trying to find one, because it seems that I apply and because I don't have experience working (because no one will hire me), I won't get a job anytime soon. So, I've turned to online ventures to supplement my life and at least provide for a lot of what I need.

From what country are you? Most companies here in Philippines accept applicants who have finished at least two years degree in college. I am not in college yet and I could say that I have learned skills, I mean, working experience. I am planning to apply a job but I don't any degree. I don't if they'll consider me with my working experience.
Thanks for your response.

I didn't work when I was in high school,but only reading and reading everyday,I didn't work when I was in college.Always when I deceided to find and get a job, I never succeeded,some because of failure, some was dropped by myself, That's so regretted today. Now I graduated and need to work, I find that the work experience are impportant.
