i'd probably honestly be a refuse and recyclable material collector like offer to help sort people's recycle, move their heavy garbage or unwanted furniture. I was also thinking of shoveling snow on sidewalks during the winter, like the Department of Sanitation does on the roads. Or maybe I could've been a janitor for some company buildings.
The awesome thing about the sanitation industry is that it's an all-year industry, especially in dense cities like where I live. People will always have waste, i guess.
you're right, I have to realize that my mom can have an effect on my financial situation. I actually plan on going to a homeless shelter if my SSI gets cut before I find work, and then maybe getting some work there instead.
