How easily can one get an on-campus job?

I need a job and can seem to get one?

• Ok I need people to answer this seriously. I had to drop out of college because my father died and I lost my financial aid due to missing school for my hyperthyroidism and my dad brought a car web we didn't have one so they could get me to school. But because he did that, they took away half my aid. I can't go to any college or school trade or vocational or otherwise because I cannot afford it. I'm also ineligible for any student or financial aid because I've defaulted on my loans. I've been job searching since 2009. Since I don't have a degree or reliable transportation. I haven't had much luck. I live in Pittsburgh Pa, the bus service just cut more routes, raised the price to $4 a ride. And the closet stop for me is 30mins away and that's walking distance. I applied o McDonalds, KFC, Popeyes, Mom & Pop stores, Gas stations & stores like CVS & Rite Aid all twice each they all either ignored me, told me they don't hire my kind or said I was too educated for the job. I applied to grocery stores, and places like Macy's JCPennys, and other department stores and I still get nothing. Posted my resume all over the web last week and only opportunities I got was working for a company that's 2hrs away from my home and an internship that I need to work for a year and then I might get paid $500. I don't have experience and people have told me the place I have worked at aren't good enough as an employment history reference. So No job = No Money No money = no bus fare, jitney fare, any transportation fare, no college, and unpaid student loans No college degree = no job = no money So how do I fix this?? I live in a horrible community and even the people here only want free services. I refuse to babysit someone's kid and they won't come back for it or pay me. Same goes to chores. If I could I would go and apply to a bunch of jobs but I don't have reliable transportation and some jobs have told me not to apply. Some went so far to say if I didn't have a drivers license and a car and insurance and stuff I wasn't allowed to apply. I've looked on careerlink, monster, job.com and I've been looking on Craigslist and backpage since January 2012. So what's the issue?? Is it because people assume I'm black and I'll steal?? Is it because I dot have a degree and experience so I'm useless?? Or could it be I come from a bad neighborhood, I don't have reliable transportation and I owe student loans which makes me a bad person?? All I'm asking is how to fix this. I don't even have a bank account haven't had one in over two years that's how broke I am. The library doesn't have research material, why?? Because society feels blak kids don't want to learn or research—which isn't always the case. If you don't have a good answer or want some points please find another question. I'm asking or help because I don't know what else to do.

• Answer:

  You're not the only one who is having this problem I'm black and I was in your boat also but now I have a full-time job and another job that is full time that can make up to 90,000 a year (I'm currently in the stages). Indeed.com is the spot to look for jobs now. I wouldn't even waste my time with Monster and Careerbuilder. I find it a waste of time if you do not have a skill, recent experience in the job you're applying for on those website you're wasting your time. You can always try to find a job on that site but I wouldn't recommend it unless you find something you really like. Also try and see if your city is hiring. Its easy to work for a city as long you pass the civil exams. Try applying for State Government jobs and try applying for Federal jobs on usajobs.gov and try finding a seasonal position. Try temp agencies. There is jobs out there... You just have to keep applying and trust me an opportunity will come up sooner or later just be patient. Addition: You said you owe Federal Loans? You need to find a way to do a plan with them. This could be a breaking point in getting some jobs. Defaulting on a Federal Loan is very serious. The US Government asks banks to give you that loan. They trust you and for you to default on it is like going awol in the military... So find a way to fix this. You can appeal your financial aid. If you win your appeal then you can go back to school with a pell grant if you qualified.
