I have done it before. If you get the second job, just make sure you give your availability first.

For example, company A you are working 32 hours, M,W, F day T and S night. Job B tell them you are available the opposite schedule. You will make it work!

Yep, and if you don't have set hours for job A, make sure you can set up an arrangement with job B where you give them your available hours after job A has scheduled you.

Definitely doable. Easier if one job has set hours or a very understanding/flexible boss.

I am sorry about this struggle. Instead of retail could you look for a job at a restaurant? I am not sure what you do in retail but waiting tables you can make pretty good tips and has flexibility with hours.

Are you on employment right now in the meantime? In my state anyway & I recently found this out...as long as you work less than 40 hrs a week, which is considered part-time, you can (hopefully) get unemployment. I've been on it since June/July & started a job in August working about 22 hrs/wk. My job pays much better than retail though.

I do feel for the rut you're in...no time to go back to school to get a better job because you need to work so much & make money NOW! Unless, you apply for financial aid for school & do some kind of online program in which you can do from your home compueter. I'm working on a Masters degree & I'm in a 3-year distance learning program. I never have to set foot on campus once.

You really need to find some kind of work at home job, so you're not running around working like a chicken with its head cut off, yet you're still making money in the privacy & relaxation of your own home. In my high cost of livingarea, my rent is $1203/month + utilities & that's lower than most apts around here & I'm in the smallest apt in my complex.

I'm trying to see if i can find a legit online college since i don't own a car. I do have a university nearby but i don't think i am able to get in if i can't pass that exam but I am afriad of going in debt if i fail or flunk I may not be the brightest but i will probably try hard.

I can't find work at home jobs so i am trying either get 2 jobs or find a way to study online and maybe get a the smallest hours part time job that will work around my schedule.

Any blood banks in the area? You can make an extra $200 a month by giving. Another job to keep in mind is office cleaning. Usually gives you some flexibility at night to do it. Some people do dog sitting, which gives flexibility during the week. Some wealthier folks are willing to pay pretty good money just to come over and walk and feed the dog.
