Newsflash for me:

I need to earn $13/hour, 40 hours/week, 15 weeks this summer to meet tuition.

And that's assuming I get a job starting Monday of next week, AND assuming that I spend $0 on doing anything for myself, including going to Waterloo, hanging out with friends at places that require money, or hell, buy myself a candy bar once in a while.

What the hell.

Okay, definitely not working for Chapters then. Starting wage is, what, 7.70? Maybe 8? Now, if you manage to cripple one of the full time employees, you could find a 40hr/wk job. E-mail me if this is an option, and I'll send you a list of names with pictures to help you out.

*hugs you* Tax return included?

I thought you were done at the end of last year? Maybe I'm just crazy.

Yow. That really, really sucks.

Do you have any other resources? Loans/parents/grandparents about to die/etc.? :)

Just out of curiosity, why is tuition at Humber costing you upwards of $7,800? My tuition at York last year was about $5,500, and that's including the extra 3 credits I took on top of a full course load and the increased cost-per-credit from the year before. Just what the hell are you paying for?

Also: You realize that approximately 22.5% of what you earn gets sucked away from taxes, right? So if Humber intuition is indeed costing you $7,800, you're actually going to need to find a job that pays about $17/hour.

I'll send you an email this afternoon, hopefully, and give you a rundown of my experience with temp agencies. Hopefully that'll help.

Have you considered a TD student line of credit? With the earning power/credit rating your parents have, you'd probably be eligible for around 10K. So long as you're in school and until you've been out of school for a year, you only have to pay the interest on the card as the minimum monthly payment (which is around 1-3% I believe). Check into it. Talk to your parents, etc. I got mine a week after I applied for it.

You can get OSAP. You've been out of high school 4 years, so your parents' income doesn't count anymore. OSAP is my friend now!
