<prompt> Human: 4 or 5 months ago I quit my first job and was offered a job by a friend in the career field that I am pursuing. I value this job greatly because it will look good on a resume when I decide to move on professionally- and in the industry I work in, experience is necessary.Its a four person operation, and I have been working harder than I ever have in my life. I enjoy this job and Ive been making a decent wage for someone my age.About two months in, I was supposed to have received my first big paycheck from one of our contracts, but the company had some financial problems and there was a 2 or 3 week stall on my pay. Eventually the money I was owed kind of trickled in over the next month instead of in one lump sum. I continued working, and continued getting paid on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, more or less whenever the company received money from a client.However things slowed down about a month ago, and after looking at my commission sheet I realized that I am owed a pretty large sum of money. I discussed this with my boss who, keep in mind, is a personal friend and he assured me that there were financial difficulties once again and some of the money would come soon. I waited a few more weeks, and came to find out through admission that my boss had forgotten to pay me and had spent what I was owed on personal bills and company finances.What should I do? I value this job as an entry point into the career field I want, and I dont want to throw it away after only 4 or 5 months.  <response>: Unless you like the job enough to do it for free, Id work on finding a new job.
