Hi. My new job has been great and gonna be doing some training on help desk not exactly on the phones yet just going through stuff until I get my own phone account at work. I gotta see what's gonna happen in July since budgeting is gonna get even more tighter. I have been looking at other avenues on making money on the side and I feel like a chicken without a head still looking for an idea. I haven't worked in a job for a long time and just got back into the workforce, I don't have much of a business sense (know a few things) to do something.

I am looking for something weekly in between getting paid every other week. I have been doing a great job saving a certain percentage of my check every payday, but my savings was going up then I had to spend it on that lousy car of mine (two new tires and an oil change other stuff that needs to be checked but can't spend everything on the car). I am in no position to buy/sell my car and have no choice but to keep it (didn't buy the car at all and live in a state where having your own vehicle is required and no I don't live a small town/boonies, live in a city and the bus line is terrible). I am trying to break away from codependency (doing stuff on my own) and want to meet my ultimate goal of getting my own place, but I am not making enough I am below the poverty line!!

Forget section 8, a lot of them are still closed and was told Phoenix was gonna open up but saw it is closed. My credit isn't good, but there aren't many organizations who can help. I have been looking at subsidized housing, but will not settle for a P.O.S. apt nor will I move into a place where the landlord is like the one we have at our place! I still don't have enough money in the bank to afford my own place and wanted to start looking for apartments in August so I can have enough paychecks for them to look at and get a good idea as to what they are looking for or wanting. Yea, I am long term, part time of 25 hrs a week, and getting a board approved job at the school will take a really long time because of budget constraints (not many part timers are staying). The temps can't go over 25 hrs we could get in big trouble by the school. Everywhere you go, it's still part time especially if you haven't worked in xyz field in the past.

I need the training and I finally got into the IT field somewhat. I need the help desk skills plus I have been doing some readings/online tutorials on my own (there was no training again budget issues) to help myself. I never worked in the IT field after college in 2010 and still have no certifications as I don't make enough to afford to take the tests to get my certs! I still see my social worker who helps me out a lot (better than my ex-therapist) on my goals and what not.

I also want freedom away from my situation and be at peace that is very important to me and want to leave asap. I don't have many job skills the only thing I have is customer service skills. My coworker asked me have I thought about a 2nd job? I told her well....I just barely got hired and the idea of a 2nd job is iffy which I am not sure yet what to do on that.

I looked at side income ideas and don't find them matching up to something that would be interesting to do.

-Babysitting (was never one of those girls in the past who did that and not going to learn now, not interested in kids)
-Freelance (need to be at the job more than 5 years, I know this because you need people to vouch on your work and need to know contracts)
-Direct Market (looked into those and you gotta pay for the package which is your own biz no thanks)
-Having a business (again, where's the money to afford it?)
-Pet sitting (really fun but it's been a long time since I've owned a dog and have no references to back me up)
-House sitting (don't know anybody where i could do that again no references)
-Caregiver (doesn't interest me, I don't want to be a caregiver. feels like I am babysitting my own parents which is why I would never enjoy caring for someone else)
-Photography (i want to sell, but it is time consuming to take and edit photos and been told I am great at picture taking)
-Web design (haven't done that in a long time)
-Selling (not good with that and don't enjoy it)
-Acting (not good with that)
-Garage sale (I got books but it's in storage and it is hoarded somewhere it's my dad's storage that's a lot of crap to go through)
-Selling my IT skills (again, never worked in the field in the past and relearning /updating everything)
-Rent a room (live at home can't do that)
-Rent my car out (no thanks, not a good car and my car is for myself)
-Teaching (don't have teaching experience or background in teaching and don't enjoy teaching anyway)
-Contract work (again, need more job experience to do that)

I can't think of any at the moment. Anyway, I am looking for something to do on the side and make money. They say turn your hobby into a job, it's more time consuming to turn it into something. I am already burnt out on finding a job back then, going to different places to help me find work, etc and would have to do more stuff that's even more time consuming plus reading/watching tutorials for my job? Way too much work for me, i still have headaches from doing extra work and feel sick physically at times. I don't know, I have no idea what to do and don't find I am good enough to do something on the side as I lacked job skills. I went back to the workforce to face my fears since I have a better understanding about jobs now than when I was 18.

I am looking something that isn't so time consuming and will bring me money in weekly. I am sure some would say you could get a roomie but I have nothing against that, I want a place of my own whereas I can have peace and don't have to answer anybody. My ex-therapist/social worker told me that's what you need is to be alone and feel what it is like not to have someone screaming at you 24/7 because you never experienced that before. I want to meet my ultimate goal and what am i suppose to do if I still can't? I am trying to make an effort, but the lack of money isn't there yet and getting just 25 hrs is all I can get and don't have control over anything else.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
