How did you support yourself after high school?

My first job was for a pizza store. Then I moved onto a cafe and saved up a deposit on my first home. I lived at home till then, and the government gave me $7000 to help buy my house.

During my senior year of high school I went to cosmetology school and when I graduated from there I also graduated beauty school so I was making money right out of high school.Then after a couple of years I decided to go back to college and earn my associates degree in nursing and I have been doing that for the past 15 yrs and I just earned my associates degree in medical billing and coding and will try to do that from home.

My parents supported me upto MSc after joining Ph.d only I became self sufficient in the matter of earning my living.

I am out of school for almost 2 years now i am right now into job....i hardly find time to spend with my family as i am busy in office all the time.I get time only on weekends and thats the best time i get.

Right after high school I moved to Orlando with some friends and we all worked at Disney World. Salary? lol try hourly but great benefits! enough for an 18 year old with 3 roomates to split the rent

Now im in school and loving it, and also work party-time!

I am still in high school and i am working on earning money now so i will have something to start with once i graduate and move out.

I started when I was 16 working at a Shakey's Pizza. I worked my way up to store manager by the time I graduated. I made great money. This was 1972 and I was making $450.00 plus bonuses a week. Not bad concedering my parents house payment was only $200.00 a month back then. I then went on to college and became a grocery manager, then district manager.

I've been out of high school for over a year and a half now and I'm still living with my parents, still trying to find a job, but its very hard to find one in michigan.
