Fellow PJ'er needs help

Hello all,

The name's Jared. A 2010 Graduate from East Carolina University and a huge Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam fan.

I used to work in the Journalism Industry but in the last year followed my love of Criminal Justice in the Corrections field. Now after a year in a county jail, I'm ready to go work with the big boys in Indiana -- and I dare say a move from North Carolina to the Hooiser State ain't cheap. And dealing with student loans...forget it.

So whether it's a nickel or a dime. Anything Helps. Thanks and God Bless.

For the Springsteen fans, "We Take Care of Our Own." For the Pearl Jam fans, help me "Wash away all those Yesterdays."

For the highest PJ Contributor...I have a couple extra backspacer tour tee's size mediums, a XL-DC 2010 shirt, and a couple various christmas singles. I'll even throw in the bootleg of your choice.

I don't want to sound mean or anything but times are tough for a lot of people out there right now. The way I see it is you have a college degree and you're currently employed. Frankly, I know moving isn't cheap. A few suggestions for you possibly to obtain your goal. Perhaps you can defer your student loans? I know the government is somewhat lenient with that so that may be something to look in to. Also, have you considered getting a second job. I know something like working at a McDonalds or a retail store (Wal-Mart, Target) may not be the sexiest thing to do but after only a couple of months and some saving you would probably have a few thousand extra bucks which should definately help with some of your moving costs.

What I'm kind of getting at (and perhaps why you aren't getting any responses) is quite frankly life is not easy. There's a lot of things I want in life and I work 58 hour work weeks for them and it's still not enough for all I want. To come here and state that you have a college degree, you're currently employed, but you want to move so please give me a donation doesn't look good at all. If my calculations are somewhat correct you graduated in 2010 so it makes you 24 or 25 years old. Way too young my man to be looking for a handout especially when you have a job and a college education.

Life's a struggle. If you feel you need to move to further your life...work for it. It will be that more rewarding when you obtain your goal and the life experience will make you a better person. Good luck.

This seems like a slippery slope... :?

Hey everyone, I really need a new laptop, and a wifi plan. Any help would be great.

Best of luck to you jjheel but I have to say that DS has hit the nail on the head. Watch your cornhole in the state pen, no matter what side of the bars you're on :shock:

Stardog3.. · June 2012

Well said DS!

I'm sure there are TONS of people on here who could use some help.

There are millions of other people our same age who are struggling- ever hear of the Occupy movement? What about the millions who are hungry or homeless on the streets? What about all the families who were hit hard by the economy and lost everything? I could on and on.

I'm 25 and have the same skeleton of a situation as you (communications degree, hated what I was doing, following passion, etc.) and the last thing I would do is beg for money. I actually work, intern, and am furthering my education full time. If I could give you any advice, it is to listen to DS's post.

Hi everyone, I'm only a digital member and I'd really like to be analog.......

:fp:

DS pretty much nailed it on the head. Student loans really aren't hard to defer, especially if you are broke. Hell, you can even do it online. Motivation and hard work will get you much farther than holding out your hand in the long run. Good luck, we have all been there at one point or another.

My daughter's going to college in the fall. Damn, it's expensive. Someday, she may be getting married too. Is it still true that the father pays for the wedding? Oh, did I mention that I have two daughters?

Sure could use a little extra dough, if you're not using it. Send me a pm and I'll send you the Paypal link.

Just hoping for a new guitar this summer and didn't know how I was going to swing it. Thanks, bro.

I totally agree with all of the above, but also just wanted to say that I hope this kid(with 20 years on him prob,he still is a kid to me) is okay emotionally,mentally etc.,because I know if he would have come on here and expressed that he was struggling emotionally with the things going on in his life,and just was looking for "support" concerning that, I'm sure we all would be willing to be there with that help.
When you include a link to "gofundme" and most of us bust our asses for the basic things we want,never mind the extras,it puts everyones back up.
But I do sincerely wish him well in his life, and hope he finds his passion, God knows most of us never find it,or have the guts to go look for it.

Why don't you look into getting a second job to help you save up? Or if you have things that you don't need, try selling them on ebay, etc. Or if you need suggestions on how to earn or save more, then why don't you start a thread about that in the off-topic section of the board, instead of coming here asking for a handout.

Most people struggle at some point with money, it is part of life. If you have a roof over your head, plenty to eat and are happy, then you're doing a whole lot better than all the underprivileged people in our world.

mfc2006 · June 2012

save, save, save.

we're about to move from TX to WA/OR/CA & it is not cheap. we've been saving while in school....working 2 (sometimes 3) jobs. it wasn't easy at all. but now....after all of the long hours, the bullshit jobs, etc...the payoff is there. we're moving in a matter of weeks.

it takes time, patience & hard work. if you do it yourself, it's far more rewarding. best of luck to you.

Ask the penn for a relo package. Only way i move now.

jjheel13 · June 2012

Guys I am 21 and fresh out of college...not much help financially. I've been offered a job with the federal government (which is my DREAM) all I need is a little help for you all you to get me there. I'm begging you please help a fellow jammer. Once I've moved and made some $$$ I promise to spread the Karma. I just need the push.

I thank you all. This is the truth. "We all Walk the Long Road". I get that. Just help me find "Better Days."

81 · June 2012

So you graduated in 2010 at 19?

:confused
