Ahhh. I was once excited for financial aid. But as each year passes, the looming prospect of paying it ALL back (and then some) makes me very uneasy. ~sigh~
 
LMAO, yeah.....it's no fun........I did get a pretty good check in return but ........... it's gonna go to waste again

Youre probably just working/looking at the wrong jobs in this city. Service industry jobs in this town can be very lucrative, i know from experience since I have been doing it while going to school and instructing for years. They arent the easiest jobs since they usually involve dealing with drunk people, but they pay much more than the averages that you have quoted in the past. A government website presenting figures that deal with a median income are usually not the best representation of the actual situation since they include most entry level fast food jobs, as well as tipped jobs in which most workers do not claim all they made in a particular shift since it is nearly impossible to track. Last year I made well over 30K working part time at one job, and about 11K at my flight instructing job. Summing everything up, yes it is possible, just requires a little more effort and some research.

I am assuming you work at Southgate?

And if you have to dig for a job that pays a decent wage, there is a problem with the town.

Show us a job posting in Grand Forks with a livable wage that doesn't require a Bachelor's degree. Bartending doesn't count. I want actual guaranteed hourly/salary wage.

Something like Customer Service, Data Entry, etc... something an 18 year old can do. I wouldn't say Amazon because their job posting stated that they require a "Bachelor's degree" for $9 an hour. With the high cost of living in Grand Forks compared to the rest of the US, what a joke.

Show me that kind of job anywhere in the country. And why doenst a bartender count, or a server or anything else that is in that line of work? Do you think a job at wal mart pays any better anywhere else? And secondly why would you be entitled to make the amount of money you are requesting without a bachelors degree, at the age of 18? Should anywhere be required to pay you a significant amount of money for a basic job which you just requested for an 18 year old with no educational background? I think you should give communism a try, that seems to fit more into your requests.
 
It's not so much the wage as it is the cost to live here. It's absolutely insane how much it costs to live here.

I only made 6.75 working at office max back in Davenport IA and only worked 20 hours a week.(Office max sucks!) I was spending money like it was going out of style. I put up with the low wage because it covered all my expenses and then some, and it was an easy job.

Now working at coke in grand forks, I get 9.50(the highest paid PT job I've ever seen in this town that doesn't require special training or experiance) and can barely pay for gas and eat. Eating is the biggest expense and it shouldn't be. Not even close. I can spend 70 bucks a month back home and eat fresh food. Here, it's dang near double that at 120 a month and it's crap food at best.
