text: how do i make money? cant get job yet have to wait too many variables to answer this well, since you don't say why you can't get a job.  if the reason is that you are under age, then you need to rely on less formal work, such as mowing lawns, contracting with neighbors on a street to pick up the litter, etc.  if the reason is that there is no employment in your area, then moving to another location, while not your first choice, may be necesary.  if you are unqualified for work, then getting a ged or whatever it is that you need that is lacking is the first order of business.  if you aren't being hired because you lack experience, then volunteering with some non-profit group (habitat for humanity, humane society, hospital, nursing home, church) will help give you someone you can at least use as a reference for dependability, honesty, etc.
