Up until recently I was an IT Consultant for a bluechip company. Situations changed for me and I'm now looking for some late night shelf stacking jobs to keep the cash coming in and to keep me busy. Its money in the bank and it pays the bills.
Young folks today have a very odd attitude to money/wants and needs. I was watching a TV documantary about a young 19 year old girl who had a 15 month old daughter and was also studying for a degree. She was struggling to make ends meet so decided to do pole-dancing and lap-dancing. She stated catagorically that working in a supermarket just wasnt enough. Anyway they follow her off to the stripclub and she does her 4-5 stint till the early hours. They then ask her how much she made. After paying the club ú85 to dance and then the clubs cut of her takings she had made ú15 for 5 hours work!!!!
Supermarket doesnt cut it eh?
To be honest whilst you may feel the whole world is against you, if I was in your shoes and on ú30 a week, not being able to play Eve would be about item number 95 on my list of priorities to sort out ASAP.
Sit down, have a good long think about what is really important and necessary and make a plan.
Trust me. Eve is NOT necessary for you right now.

If your lucky enough to live somewhere where you can go to college and have a job then good for you.
I've been where you are. In college, mostly broke, trying to buy books and still afford food, etc etc etc. I know, I've been there.
However, when you say that there are NO part-time jobs where you are, I think you are being a little dishonest. I suspect that what you REALLY mean is that there are no part-time jobs that you want in your area.
Let's face it, there is ALWAYS work for those who are willing and able. I have a very hard time believing that there are no Petrol stations that need night attendants, no gardeners that need strong, young backs and arms to help out, no garbage collectors that need the same. And if there is nobody willing to hire you, then go into business for yourself. Pick up a crappy old lawnmower and start mowing lawns. Walk the dogs of rich people, babysit. There are ALWAYS ways of making money, even if it's only a little.
The point is, don't think so highly of yourself that you think you are above any work. Living on the dole is for losers and people with no REAL options. If you are young, able, reasonably strong, and smart enough to attend college then your options and opportunities are limited only by your imagination and willingness to work.
Now get going!
