Hello! I have been evaluating my situation and finances then I started looking for a 2nd job. I have already applied to a position on campus as I work at a college where I graduated from 4 yrss ago. I've been there almost 6 mos, part time 25 hrs and no temp can't go above 25 hrs that is the rule with the District. I still don't have much of a job history and over 21, I was looking for help desk positions which I am learning at work but don't have previous help desk experiences for outside jobs as they require a lot of experience and certifications that I don't have.

I am doing customer service (help desk and call center) and trying to find pay that is equal or a bit more than what I am getting paid. I am not looking for another temp job as I need something permanent. I know people suggested waitressing or caretaker I wanna step up not down as a waitress is way below what I am getting paid now. I would hate being a caretaker I feel being a caretaker at home with narc parents who puts unrealistic demands/expectations like I am their servant! That kind of work I would never do.

I'd like to find computer jobs but again they all require experience and all I have is an Network Admin degree. I still volunteer at the library, but I need money more than working for free. So, I am re-evaluating what I could do for work since I still have a huge gap in my work history. I want to stay with my primary job, learn as much help desk as I could (even though it is limited tools I have at work), and get more experience as possible. My main goal is to get my own place looks like I will be needing weekly pay and was looking at other schools but again more experience. I am gonna have to do more research and definitely don't want a staffing agency had too many problems with them.

People would say I am being unrealistic, but I am being realistic as to what's gonna help me job wise and financial wise. I am looking at it financial wise, how can you live with low paying and take care of yourself? That's what is out there in AZ is low paying for a cheap state and my main goal is more important than anything else. I want my own place not with a roomie but just me and me! My check right now doesn't cover half the rent if there would be a potential roommate. People say you need full time to make ends meet, how many people are getting full time now? How many people out there have 2 full time jobs?

My manager doesn't hold you back and said if you need to find a 2nd job go for it, that isn't gonna be a hindrance for me. Any tips/suggestions?
