Question
How to get out of the house while searching for a job?
Hi, I am 21, recently graduated from college, and my mother is treating me like a bum who has stayed in her house for over 2 years, even though I have been in the country for only two weeks because of a study abroad program. She has threatened to kick me out of the house if I don't follow her exact ways of finding a job, if I did not find a job by July. However, she has already tried to do what she said she wasn't going to start doing until July. Every new day without a job makes me want to jump in front of a car. We have recently gotten into a fight about getting my hair trimmed (I recently stopped getting my hair relaxed, which she still hasn't accepted), and she hasn't talked to me for a week even though I have tried to make amends twice. I don't know what is going to happen once July comes and I have only two more weeks to get a job. I would rather not live here any more. I know that I need a job to sustain myself, but is there a way for me to get around that temporarily? BTW, I have never asked her for money, nor has she given me any, so once I left for college I have been on my own. I have tried everything to get a job, and nothing is bringing me any results. I am not looking for a dream job. I just need income. I even applied to department stores. I don't care. Although I have four years of experience in office work, so I have been applying in all of those areas. I know there are people who have managed to get out of their parents' house, and have made it eventually. How did they do it? Does anyone have any suggestions?? PLEASE. I'm desperate here.

Yes you need some form of income. A job is a must unless you have some disposable income already or someone to support you. You need to go small initially, like share the place with a couple of other people to cut down costs. I know it'll get cramped but once you get a better job, you can have your own apartment/house. If you are willing to move to a bigger city, your chances of getting a job is also better.

Either your mother is completely off her rocker, or there is way more to this story than you are telling us. Normal moms in this economy are not going to demand that their kid has a job by a certain date. There are plenty of people who are applying anywhere, just like you and are not getting a call back, much less a job! Sounds like this problem runs deeper than her wanting you to be employed by July 1st. Especially if she is mad about your hair? You are 21, not 15, you can wear your hair how you like now. LOL
