Answer 1

I am sorry that you are having so many rough starts. It will get better. Car repairs and credit card debt are part of the picture, but you really need to get that card paid off ASAP.

Talk to the financial aid office at your college... there are grants, scholarships and loans. It may be worth your while to take out a loan just to get your education back on track, just make sure it is the kind of loan that you can consolidate. You can put any unused portion to work paying off your credit card... better to pay 5% than 18%.

Talk to the boss at this job and see if he can consolidate your hours so you are not getting your days eaten with few paid hours. If he can't help you out, you might have to give the current job the old heave-ho.

Consider filling out as many applications as you can on-line, then try to line up several interviews on one day, and call in sick at the current job. A lot of grocery store chains have websites that allow for this, and they have multiple shifts. You might be able to juggle 2 part-time jobs if you can't find a full time job.
