I need a JOB!

Either meaning of the homonym would suit. His patience would help me wait and keep from doing something that could be rash - join the military - and a job would provide me money. Americorps and Teach For America look like interesting alternatives to real jobs too. An actual 9-to-5 would work too, but I need no less than $11/hour if the cost of living is equivalent to that of Dallas. I would need $11.92/hr to live in LA, $10.75/hr to live in Austin, $12.48/hr to live in the Bronx, $11.72/hr to live in Brooklyn, $16.51/hr to live in Manhattan, $12.31/hr to live in Queens, $11.51/hr to live in Staten Island, and only $9.39/hr to live in Norman, Oklahoma. Before I'd move there you'd have to pay me a lot more than that.
