Hi.  Well, I like your attitude.  When money is needed--  jobs are the answer!  So, I like your work ethic.  I'm sorry your boyfriend is giving you a hard time while you try to figure it out.  I agree that you could get some quick seasonal work.  It's kind of hard to find anything much above minimum wage and I agree---  looking for something that pays well is harder.  Keep looking.  also consider a temp service like Kelley Girl.  I did this years ago and had two assignments.  I was offered full time employment both times.  I was in college and didn't take those jobs but they like when they find dedicated people.  Temp services give them a way of trying someone out and if they like you, they often try to keep you.  These were office jobs.  On one, it involved some equipment and dictation and Kelly services taught me how to do it.  So they help train.  this is a big time of year because people take vacation and what not.  So, that is an option.  At first you have to split money with Kelley services (or whatever temp agency you go through) but the full time job is al your money should they offer it to you,

Also, something I strongly recommend is thinking big picture.  Some type of job training would be awesome.  Different programs lead to well paying jobs and can take a short amount of time to complete like paralegal.  Pay is really good for that and it takes about a year an da half of part tine classes (like two nights a week for 3 hours each) and you can get grants or aide to pay for it.  ??  Something to think about as well.

good luck

Honestly Right Now You Could Look For A Good Paying Seasonal Job && If You Want To Continue After Having The Baby && The Holidays Then You Tell The Manager && Reapply . That's What I'm Doing Right Now && It Does Pay Off , Places Aren't Allowed To Discriminate Against Pregnant Women , They Just Have A Lot Of Safety Concerns .
