Most schools won't allow you to work.)
Working at Walgreens wouldn't do me any favors because I'm about to be homeless. Are you telling me I can continue to work at Walgreens without a place to live? If I can't pay my bills, I will be homeless. Thus, I need a job that pays my bills. That would be giving up tons of valuable study time for pennies, too. Thus, I would wind up homeless AND potentially with unerasable low grades on my transcript.
Nevermind. The older generation doesn't understand. We were told to go to college so we wouldn't wind up working minimum wage jobs that don't sustain us. Now we're being told to work minimum wage jobs with our college degrees and being called entitled for not wanting to do that.

Before I would discount nonightowl's suggestion to work at Walgreens, I would write a pros and cons list of how it can benefit you. Remember, it IS a job and a job brings in money. You may only stay at it for 6 months but in the meantime you are bringing in money. Is it part time or full time? If it's part time you can look for another job.
Would you consider data entry part time? Some of those jobs pay decent and if it's part time there is less pressure to meet a lot of the productivity standards. Or a file clerk job? Something quiet, consistent, and pays decent? There are also a lot of temp positions out there. I am just saying, if money is really tight the best thing to do is start bringing money in.
I know what it's like to not have a lot. When I was 22 I was so broke and cried a lot worrying about money because I could barely find a job to get to support myself. I ended up moving back in with my parents which was awful, and I didn't graduate yet.
Just saying, employed people are more attractive to employers than unemployed people. Sad, but true.
