I am 17 years old (6 months shy of 18!), and I need money.

My family is filing for bankruptcy and I’m going to need to make some money to pay for college books and other (social and recreational) expenses. However, I get sick a lot and have a weak immune system, there are no jobs available in town, and I have no source of transportation. Working for a company online would be ideal for me. I could do it whenever I want, wouldn’t have to worry about being too sick, and countless other reasons. However, I can’t seem to find anything that suits me. I’ve looked at survey sites, but they all seem to be hours of work for 50 cents. I want decent pay for decent work. I don’t expect to "get rich quick" or anything like that, I just want a job that will pay at least 10 dollars for an hour’s work (as my friends who work at fast food joints get paid at least that much).

So basically: Decent (or well) paying job online available to a 17 year old that isn’t too much work for not enough pay. Is there anything out there for me or am I just dreaming?
I would also like to acknowledge the fact that I’m not looking for snotty remarks and worthless answers. I am aware that there are scams and pyramid schemes and stupid crap like that, I was asking whether or not there are jobs available online. I know for a fact that people work online (my dad’s friend Doug works online for an advertising company, he does graphs and calculations and that is a part time job for him), I was just wondering if any job like this existed for someone under 18 years of age. I’m not sure if "freelance" would be the right term, but I’m looking for something similar. Please refrain from comments that imply that I’m naive or stupid, because I am not and it just makes you come off as a judgmental and inconsiderate member of this community. Thank you.
I worked at a magazine for 7 months on a paid internship. I imput data, called advertisers, did research related to the magazine, formatted certain articles and edited many. I am a published writer as I have both a published poem and published articles. Those are (some of – I can’t list them all)my qualifications/experience. I don’t mind imputting data or doing mundane things like that, I just need a job because my family is desperate.

OK….So my Mom (She’s 72) filed bankruptcy protection 7 months ago as she has a retirement income and only one house….So now an attorney for the bank that holds a small mortgage on the property has filed a motion to "Lift the stay" on the house so the bank can immediately foreclose on the property. BUT….She has never failed to pay the monthly mortgage payment or been late on it. Even after she filed for protection. So….How can I help her? Should she file a answer to their motion right away to the judge? Her bankruptcy attorney is busy or wont help. I’m trying to get her to find a new attorney…But for right now, what should she do? How do these things play out?? I’ve had a hard time understanding how a bank can expect to foreclose on someone who’s paid their mortgage? Will the judge take them seriously when they’re dealing in speculation (What might happen) and not absolutes?? Thanks for any help!!
Not sure if any of the covenants of the mortgage have been violated…What’s an example of that type of violation? All I know is that she’s paid every month on time.

I am only 20 and I feel as if I have bad credit. I have taken out six credit cards to help my mother pays bills when she went broke and I have not paid my bills for 6 months and I was wondering if I should file bankruptcy. About 7 months ago my credit score was 640, now I’m not sure. I have heard that you can file bankruptcy and still even drive a brand new car and get financed. At the same time, I heard that if you don’t pay any of your debts they will just fall off of your credit report after 7 years. Are either of these true?? Any advice??? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
If I am actually able to make some type of payments, would it be better to do that, or just let it fall off my record??? It would be paid off within 7 years. So would that help my credit score or me at all???

I’m in a situation and need some outside advice. Lost my job and am taking a 50% pay cut to get another job. Should I file bankruptcy or use a credit counseling agency to consolidate my bills? Am between 15,000 and 20,000 in debt. Didn’t file when I lost my job, but have now used all my savings while living with no income for 7 months. Any advice would be helpful.
