I applied at walmart and a friend who owns a hookah bar and he's interested in keeping in file and he wants me to work there. I definitely will take his offer when it arises.
I am in a bind with mcdonald's they work me to death, but I'm happy with the job it isn't hard, the hours are long, and I cut my days to job search and focus on my music. I had issues very recently

Possible trigger:
Other people tried so hard to get me stirred and so leaving here will be a great thing, I've seen too much crap happen at once in this field. Like a man died after I served him a mchicken he had a heart attack it was pretty strange, another man wanted to beat my *** over a coke, another man pulled a gun out on a customer last christmas next to me, fights break out pretty frequently, we are in an area where heroin is rampant so we have a lot of issues of the customers who shoot up in our bathroom and start crap in our lobby. So on, I have so many stories it's good stories for other people to hear, but I can't do it. This drama is like why, I do I want to work here the pay isn't that good, because it's franchise. I've worked 72 plus hours and I got barely 400 mostly 350 and it was ridiculous because other stores now pay almost 10 an hour and some 8.50 ours is 7.25 and taxes take out 200 almost because 3 local counties, state and federal and sometimes if your drawer in your till is short it will be added out of your check as well. It's ridiculous because people wouldn't tell me they rang on my drawer and so what I do usually now is shut the computer off on a pause screen so no one can cash anyone out inappropriately without me present. It's a crappy job, but I've had worse. I feel now it's time to move. I'm going to stay at the job I'm going next. Walmart isn't too bad from what I've seen and heard. Hookah is nice too so I'll settle there I'm not going to job hop. I'd rather stick somewhere and get my life together financially a bit more before deciding what to do next in my life with my music based skills and production skills. I definitely can qualify for a higher paying job with my experience like a 75 K to 140 K job annually. I'm 21, I never went to college or afford it, but I am very good at what I do and I'd love to work at like activision, blizzard, game companies, warner brothers, BMI records, so on.. I've done music and sound scores and I can do literally all of that. I have my own equipment and I feel what is going to be a turn off to them is my lack of equipment for their needs like apple and mac products it's stupid I think, because it all works the same. Also some require manager experience so I might get into that too for a bit for so many years. So I'd love to land a job like that with my equipment and show them what I do and can do easily. I know I'm very close to being over qualified and I have no degree, I don't know if this will help me or not. I can do radio stuff, news stuff, criminal investigative stuff with sound sampling for court cases so on. I know how the ins and outs of sound design, based on music stuff I had to learn the essentials and fundamentals I taught myself for almost 9 years now at 8 years as of now. I was going to go to for profit schools for a sham degree, but I don't need that now. Most jobs in this field require 7 or more years of experience in this. I am definitely good at most things, I'm hesitant, because I would have to move so far away from my city I don't have the money to move honestly. I could try a hotel till I have enough to get an apartment or small house if the pay was good out in cali, texas, so on wherever it's at. I Don't know suggestions?
