I sympathize your situation. Unless you have very high requirement, I think it's still possible for you get a job in Malaysia. In order to survive, even a part time job is good enough. It should sustain your daily spending until you find a better job. If you work in a restaurant, you can get free meal and help you to save a little spending on lunch or dinner.

Well, if you really in need of money to survive or improve your life. You should take it, for the time being. Just my advice, the rich tycoon had started from doing jobs with low wage. There is nothing to be ashamed of if we are in desperate need to earn a living.

I have a higher diploma. I can't take any job that is lower than that. I will possibly end up with no respect or something like quitting my job!

One of the first things that you need to do is to think about what it is that you want to accomplish in your life. Once you've done that, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to decide which angle you need to take so that you will be able to find a job that you love. I think that one of the main reasons that people get so stressed when it comes to making money is that they don't know what they want to do with their lives and they end up with a job in which they are unhappy.

You are right! I am unhappy with some aspects of my life at the moment and am thinking about making enough money to boost my ego!

you are in a difficult situation, but not hopeless. there are millions out there who are even worse than your situation. but they go along just fine. anyway, to get out of your situation, have a plan. cut it into short and long terms. clarify your values too. is it money that you need? or mission or meaning in life? making money is endless. and you can never have enough of it. so it may help if you stop chasing money. best wishes..

I am so sorry! Life is not an easy job for anyone. I make about $100 a month online but I work a lot to do it. I don´t know if that amount will help you, but it can be reached. Trading sites is a good way to get direct referrals: do it if you can. I could not live in my city with $100 a month but it all helps. Waht do you do? Can´t you get a part time job and work online the rest of the day? Share your thought. Maybe we will be able to help you a bit and you will earn more money here if you create good threads. Take care!

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think at the moment, you just have not got a job to support your own life. For me, it will be better that you may just find a part time job first to support your living. Then with the time goes on, I do sure there must be a good position waiting for you. Just be confident, you will have a bright fuure . have a nice day!

Try to focus and find a part-time job online. If you finished college and learned something like.. programming or graphic designing or even good at english and grammars, you can check oDesk.com for real jobs that pays real money.. Though, a work takes more effort.. so be focused and try to work full-time.. dont let the distractions distract you.

I feel your burden. Life feels tough when you are in your position. I know I have been there a few times myself. Don't worry things will change for you if you don't give up. I dont' have the sole responsibilty for making money in our home but I need to help. I finally found something I can do that can also help others if they want to be a part of it. You can check it out if you like. I dont' know if it is something for you or not but worth a look. MyLot is also faithful place to earn money just you have to put in a lot of time but it can certainly help. Figure out how much you need to live on and try find the easiest way to make it happen. What are your trade's? What do you like to do? There is always a way to make money we just have to be open to it. I always say there is always a way to make money just don't do anything to make money! Do you know what I mean?

You need to first look for real jobs first and start making real money in real life. The fact is that, for an average person, the amount of work you do to make $100 a month online will fetch you at least $400 in real life on the average. If you get real job or jobs, you can then start looking online for extra bucks. Earning a living online is only for a very very few individuals that really up to the task. It's difficult. Imagine what the owners of this site will have gone through before arriving at this stage!? It's not easy and not for everyone. So my friend, get real job and come at your leisure to raise some extra bucks, right! Enjoy yourself and happy mylotting!

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're down on your luck these lately. I want to encourage you to be positive about everything. Keep on applying to companies. Don't be too picky with the jobs you're applying for either. I have a friend who only applied to jobs that he thought would give him a high salary yet he didn't have any job experiences yet. Look for decent and stable jobs that can still sustain your BASIC NEEDS at least FOR NOW. Then keep on working online as well while you're looking for a job. You may need to sleep less but that's a sacrifice you need to make. You can do it dude! Have faith!

I am not sure if this will work out. If you want, I found a site in the internet that requires 5 hours of work a day at home. You can check out the site but I am not promising anything. I haven't tried it myself. I offered once to one our fellow mylotters but he never shared any feedback with me. If you want to try,the site is data-outsourcing-2. Look for in-house projects because you don't have to pay anyhting in that job compared to the other jobs they are offering. The only thing is that they have screening for you to pass. Plus a phone interview. They said they pay $2 - $3.5 per page. Plus $75 bonus on your first paycheck. I really can't promise anyhting as I haven't tried the job yet. I can not give 5 hours of my day yet as a full time homemaker. I've always kept the offer in hand, just so I can try it if I had more time in my hands. I really wish you the best of luck and if I find something promising in the internet, I will surely share it with you. I will always pray that you look at the positive side of life and that please don't forget to count your blessings, no matter how tiny they may seem.

I know its not much but I believe that another few bucks won't be so bad and if you find enough daily referrals to it you will be able to make nice profit ________________ there is a site i am using myself, named Mygpt-autosurfer for Firefox, you install its add on to your Firefox and insert your registered info into it (i would offer to install noscript also, would be useful against sites full of viruses) you get to watch 200-300 sites before the program stops you, in order to continue watching more sites you need to reset your modem (reset button/ turn off and on) for each site u watch you get 0.85 credits for every 15 seconds per site, when u get 50,000 credits u can get 5$ to your paypal account. if you calculate it you can get about 204 credits per hour, I personally get about 2500-3000 per day, its not like easyhits4u, you dont need to proof you are human it just moving automatically to the next site. here is a proof: http://yfrog.com/jxpaymentapprovep and here is the site itself: http://mygpt.com/?refid=13162 if u dont want to register as my refferal i'll respect that, just enter mygpt.com tough ill appreciate it if u register through my ref link. I have many other ways for you, we can discuss about them on some other time if u wish:)

Firstly clear your mind and try and find some way to relax. When you are ready and focused I suggest working hard online to bring in some extra income until you find a job offline. There are many ways to earn online if you are willing to try. Have you also tried to figure out what amount you would need a month to survive on?

Hi wongchoiyee, I can relate to the difficulties you are in right now, you're still young and bet strong so hang in there and don't just lost hope, I used to be like you, I was jobless and just college student who depends from my presents, I never give up looking for a job and as I want to help my self and not to depend anymore. But guess what, I got a job! Everyday is a new day and there's always an opportunity for you to come, always pray and ask for some guidance from god above. Believe your self and try to encourage your self to accomplish your goal.Always remember that there's always a light in the end of the tunnel. Best wishes for you and don't give up

To be honest mate, try making some CV's and handing them out. It took me over 2 years to land my first job, and i am working at uni alongside my uni studies. Its not easy, particually now, to get a job. I wouldn't really bother with sites where "you can make a fortune" like this for a proper job, i doubt you will get more than a few bucks a day, i know a couple of sites where you can make a bit of dosh, but to be honest, it wont be a great deal. I would focus on getting a job first, hope you find one mate
