dont do it, no matter what the texan board members say. can you move back in with parents? i know its not ideal but if your broke it might give you a chance to save up some money.

I have been moved back in mith my mom for almost 12 months now... She is getting pissed and to be honest I fucking hate it and would rather be anywhere but here, and I had said/we agreed I was leaving at the end of the month. There is no saving however when you are not working, no matter how low the rent is.

Have you tried taking portfolio photos for aspiring actors/artists/bands etc?
There's no outlay for you if you charge them for your time and burn a CD instead of selling them prints.

I'ved tried asking around but haven't had much luck. Everyone seems to be in the same boat of having not much funds to spare.

universities are always looking for research students, you dont have to take any experimental drugs (dang) just stuff like answering a bunch of questions.

What about action sport photos? Not the big-time stars because they get stuff for free.
Try the under-20s in football, basketball, netball, baseball, swimming. With digital you can show the subject your shots straight after the game. I'm sure you could make a few sales that way.

I get Brazilian surfers asking if I shot them all the time. (But most of the time I haven't shot them!)

When I was broke, I signed up for internet surveys. Took hundreds a month, maybe made $100 a month. It wasn't really worth the time but it was something. They send tons of little checks.

I think I've only seen one of those requests in the last few months and I didn't meet the criteria..

Have the government give you money. Tell them you're too anxious to work. Get a doctor's note. Fuck the government.

[atsonicpark]

I'd pay you to film some stuff for me, honestly. If you could film 20 minutes of dramatic ranting and shots of the beach, then I'd give you some cash.

government payout isn't enough to live on, and is generally more work to it it than it is actually worth.

I dont.... act.

maybe the beach. As if I know how to film stuff.

if I could do any of that I'd do it for free anyway.

Responding directly to the Thread Title...

Based upon my recent experience, I'd say DON'T FUCKING DO THAT!

Especially if you are putting it forth as the last thing you would do, which you seem to be.

I'm not full of advice about how to get money, but don't resort to your last resorts, because that never makes you feel better about life.

very good point....

It is just very depressing still not finding a job, I know I am a decent worker. It is sucking the life from mybones.
