<prompt> Human: As of now, I work the normal 40-hour work week making 10hour. After taxes, this leaves me at about 1,162 after taxes, enough to pay for my 500 rent and utilites along with food and other expenses, but Im living really frugal now and I recently had to spend my rainy day fund and now I only have about 200 in savings. Luckily, Im probably going to get a promotion in 6-8 months paying me 16month and about 1,920 a month after taxes. However, I really want to build up my savings again so I was thinking of getting a side job, but I dont know what because Ive always done the one job at a time thing because I was in high school or college until recently. I am a 22-year old male, have a BA in Economics, have experince with customer service and HR positions, and I obviously want my side jobs to be legal. I am aware that I probably wont be making bank, I really just want to accumlate some side money in case I have another emergency.Tl;dr I need part time work for about 6-8 months to compliment my current incomeEdit 1: Please stop telling me to drive for Uber or Lyft, my car was made in the 90s, so they wont allow it.Assistant: I make 10.15 an hour. Part time. Working at Walmart. As an overnight cashier. I think its time for a new job. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of that BA, perhaps an Insurance Analyst or something? With the ACA being ruled valid and everything that shouldnt be hard to land as there should be more positions available. Median salary is 61,000yr. so thats only over 3x better. To top it off, its an entry level position, so I doubt it will end there for you. The fact that youre barely making over 2500yr. more than me when Im working as a part-time cashier at Walmart is a sign that theyre underpaying you so much its ridiculous. You could literally make more working at Ikea full-time...or even if you got a Customer Service Supervisor position at Walmart, thats around 12hr. so that job has got to go. Human: I have applied for the analyst jobs. Dozens of them, and every time I contacted them, they would never get back to me, it was so draining that I put all this time into it, and they cant take 2 fucking minutes to email me back to let me know if they were interested or not. I think maybe it has something to do with the fact that there were so mant other people looking for the job and they just outshined me.And I accepted this job for hopes of better pay in the future, not my current pay.Assistant: Keep applying. Applying to a few dozen jobs isnt really that much. Its perseverance that will get you out of the position you are in right now. When I graduated undergrad in 2010 the pickings were slim as hell for jobs. I literally applied to hundreds of jobs as did a lot of my other classmates. You just have to keep going at it. As for the raise, your biggest opportunities at making more money usually come from switching companies, its as simple as that. If your company is accustomed to paying x amount for your position theres no reason for them to pay much more and even if you leave they will find someone else to do the exact same thing. Sorry this post is kind of off topic but for someone with a degree in economics it shouldnt be that hard to find a job paying more than 10 bucks an hour, albeit I dont know where you are currently located thats just my experience. Best of luck.Human: Yeah, I know, I thought it would be easier too lol  <response>: hey man, I recently applied to 80 jobs and only got 5 interviews. Out of those 5 interviews I got 1 offer, which I took. I know a friend who did 200. You could look for another minimum wage job or close to it to save up a rainy day fund but as of right now, however, I think you should spend the next few months making applications. This will be your 2nd job. Do at least 100 before you take a break from applications. Dont half ass these applications, recruiters can tell. If you have economics degree youll find a better job which will pay the same or better than any 2 jobs you can find right now combined even at entry level. This will also have the added benefit of more growth in terms of a career. Good luck!
