I am 24, I quit my last job, last year, and decided to go back to college, but I wanted to work at the same time, so I could pay my debts and take some weight of my parents shoulders. I could only find a job last thursday. One year being a burden, it sucks.Now I'm hoping to find myself a home, so I can live alone, by myself. Go on with that plan, eve though it's tough. You got my support.

I'm a college student too. And my parents give money to me every month.But i got a part-time job two month ago. I became a tutor of a man, and i teached him oral english. He gave me a good payment every time. And the money is enough for my daily life. I told my parents and asked them not to give me money any more. But they still keep giving me money. Now I use the money i earned to keep my daily life and save the money my parents give to me. I can tell you that finding a job, especially a part-time job is very very difficult. But when you have a job, what you mostly concerned should not be the money. If you really get a job, you'll find how joyful you are when you are working. So, please don't think about the money firstly. That will make you more difficult to find a job.

That's nice. I am enjoying life living on my own even if I miss my parents a lot. It teaches me to be independent and to rely on myself. It also felt difficult at the start but I know that it must be done. Now, I can say that I am more responsible and I have more self-control on things. I do have a job but I also want to go back to school.
