I'm need a job, any advice?

You are 16 almost 17. You cannot legally enter into a contract, yet. Most employers cannot or won't hire underage employees during this economic downturn. Blame Obama it is his programs and policies that are keeping you from finding and getting a job. He would rather an criminal alien, illegally in the United States have a job than an honest American child. Sorry for the difficulty...it is the same in the large cities as well.
