Well man, from what I've heard, finding any job on the west coast right now is hard as balls.

Look for an internship at a tech company (if that's what you're interested in). These usually pay better than, say, KFC, and you'll be picking up valuable skills (and setting yourself up for a permanent position).

While I was waiting for my job, I worked as a cook at Pizza Hut. I had no bills though, so I didn't need a set amount of money to make it.

Looks do matter, so... be clean-shaven, have some nice looking hair, buy some nice clothes (dark pants, light, solid-color long-sleeved shirt, dark tie, dark socks, dress shoes) to wear to interviews...

Get whatever you can now, but look for a company you can milk in the future. A huge benefit is if they'll pay for you to go to school. Starting out, you will make $15-20k more per year if you have any degree.
