For those of us who went to college to get more knowledge and ended up with more debt.
Rule #1
Get A Job

can prove to be very helpful. Also, it never hurts to visit the websites and locations of your favorite local stores to see who is currently hiring.
Note: A store may be "Accepting Applications", but this does not necessarily mean that they are hiring. When hunting for a job, it is most effective to treat the hunt itself like a job. If you spend 40 hours a week hunting for a job, you will increase your chances of actually finding one. Also keep in mind that if finding and keeping a job was supposed to be easy, it would not require work! The most important aspect of work is to keep a Gospel perspective. It is made clear in Genesis 2:15 that God has intended for people to work from the beginning of creation. This verse states, "The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it," (ESV). Many people falsely believe that work is a result of sin, but it is not. (Although the difficulties and trials faced in work definitely can be.) Work is a privilege and a blessing. It provides many opportunities including the ability to tithe, earn an income and glorify God. Finding a job definitely doesn't come without obstacles and difficulty, but be encouraged knowing that there are opportunities available if you are willing to look for them. Happy job hunting!
