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.

I am 20 years old I live in a house with my boyfriend it is in his name but I paid for this house also, I was just wondering if anyone had ways to get a credit card? I went to my bank and asked and they want me to put my own money on a card for like almost 2 years and keep paying it back. I do not have that much money to pay on the card and then pay back constantly. I work in fast food but I do keep my bills paid, was just wondering if theres any good cards out there to apply for like a 300$ credit limit I want to start building my credit. Also My dad filed bankruptcy a year ago and he is starting to re build his credit can he cosign for me still? its so difficult doing it by yourself because my mother has bad credit so I cant have her cosign anything so I’m kind of stuck. And yes I’ve applied and kohls, fingerhut all these small places and got denied. Please any advice would be great! It would help out alot! I dont want a credit card to be immature, I want it for emergencies such as my car breaking down or for gas or bills.

Me and my wife after several months of financial hardships have contacted a attorney for possibly going into bankruptcy. We are current on all our bills and always have been. She had to leave her job in January and has not been able to find work since, to try and make up for this I went into a online venture which ended up me being scammed for about ,000 from a credit card I used. We lived off borrowed money and taxes but that is all gone. My question is this, I have no money…I mean no money at all. My refrigerator is broken so we have had to eat out at fast food for the past few weeks. Things are crappy and I need money to get by, however I don’t want to get into trouble for using my cards when I plan on filing for bankruptcy. Is it acceptable to use them for things such as food, clothing, gas etc… I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. I feel bad enough for being pushed into this but don’t want to get into legal trouble if we do file. I have yet to speak to a attorney and don’t even know if I qualify. So is ok to use the cards for these things? Would be ok to use a credit card to buy a new refrigerator? or to pay to maybe get the old one fixed???? PLEASE HELP!

Thank you so much in advance!
