Born in 89, I don't make much, 16+ an hour, my advice to you is to look for retail at some tech location any (radioshack, frys, compusa, circuitcity, etc) try to reach 8-9/hr. When I lost my job at retail (CompUsa then CC) I went into callcenter work. Yeah its soul sucking and its the most boring IT job I've ever had but it pays. I sit down, take calls for 8 hours 5 days a week. Still with school, find your niche that you enjoy and bunker down.

I dream at one day working at google or apple, real tech companies that get it. They know how to treat their employees.
