Yeah if you are 18 you just have to do a written test and take your picture.

Warning, long stupid rant!
Man, I was trying to get my parents all excited about switching to sprint and they were for a while. I had them hooked on the line, the phone I wanted was $30 at best buy, I called to make sure it was that price in the store and the guy said the price would be the same on sunday (my dad didnt feel like going to best buy after getting off of work on friday). I was going to go drool over the phone online again and the price had gone up to $80. Then my mom was like oh, now we arent switching to sprint now when we know that phone goes down to $30. Then I showed her another phone I had been looking at that was $50 and I even offered to pay the $20 difference. Then she started going on about how switching would cost like $400 because they made a bonehead mistake of buying my brother into an att contract at christmas when every one elses contracts were done, so we would have to buy him out and buy the phones for sprint. And we are going to florida and she knows our att phones work there. I looked up the coverage map and the area we would be in gets 4g and almost everywhere else gets at lest 3g. It would be SO handy to have smartphones in florida so we can search things to do get maps to them, and other things. But no, my dad will be the only one that can do that with his first ever iphone that is slower than buying a map and asking people what they thing of places. Then out of the blue she says, "I wish you were as excited about getting a job as you are a new phone".
Now a little background on me getting a job. I have applied for target, mcdonalds, petco, and best buy. Best buy's ceo quit and shut down 10 stores in the area, thus causing a hiring freeze so they could move employees around from store to store to attempt to keep everyone employed. Petco was good, the application said you needed to be 16, and I went in and talked to a normal manager and stuff. Then I called a week later and they had hired other people. Naturally some people quit after cleaning out poop all day, so I went back, and they said you need to be 18. Target seemed easy since my dad knows the hiring manager, but they filled up a day after I applied and nobody quit. Mcdonalds was similar, my mom works with the wife of the manager, he was going to pull my application and look at it. Never heard back from them at all. Oh, I applied for menards as well, would have been a lot easier since menards was trying to get my dad to run that exact store 7 years ago, but he said no. Other places that I would like to work such as radioshack or petsmart you need to be 18. I can tell you right now I know more than all three boneheads at that radioshack put together. End background info on getting a job.
So my response to her saying, "I wish you were as excited about getting a job as you are a new phone" was, "I am trying and I dont see how it is MY fault that everywhere needs you to be 18" Then she almost explodes into ranting about how she had 3 jobs in college and bla bla bla. Guess what, she was over 18 when she was in college and it was a LOT easier to get a job back then. I really am trying, and i search almost daily for jobs (and cars) but most of them require you to be 18 or are simply too far away especially since they dont want to go look for a car until I get a job, making getting there that much harder, because we have to drive like an hour and a half to get to any reasonably priced car in the state.
Even more of a problem, I stay after school often for science olympiad and they are tired of picking me up from school because i cant drive, and the activity bus leaves too early and hardly gives me time to get anything done. So they want me to drive to school next year. Fine by me, but I need a car to get there, and a job to get a car even though I have the money to buy the car already. And if I have a job I wont be able to spend as much time doing science olympiad, so I would really need to hit the ground running to have everything built and ready to get 1st place on time since I do NOT build kits, I build from scratch not only because of cost, but for performance and pride. Granted, I wont work every single day of the week, but when it comes down to it, about every month to month and a half I would need thursday, friday, and saturday off, then the same thing about every 3rd week in the end of winter/early spring time.
I started with scio my freshman year, and that was the best year for our team. Last year wasnt so great, we got one point away from making it to state again. I dont care what my parents say, I am doing scio my junior year, that is final, I dont care what I have to do in order to do it.

Great, now I am having internet trouble with only my computer. If only I could build a computer. But no, I am not allowed to build a new computer until after I get a job.
Oh well, I guess tv is ok too

Boo hoo, go mow lawns to get some money. I'm pulling in 10-50 an hour depending on the person (helps to know rich people) and I've started learning how to maintain pools for even more too. There is ALWAYS somebody hiring if you're willing to get your hands dirty.

I suggest you out stuff on eBay for money, yesterday I made about 90 bucks because I put my DS and all the games/other stuff.

You're selling things that your parents or relatives bought you for half their face value, how does that count as making money?
Sorry to pout everyone.
My day has been pretty bad so far.
My two post above (both resolved now)
My "time for change" thread has been destroyed by the two most unlikely people I would have thought of
I found rcs locally, but they were $6 a piece and not worth it, and unhealty
But I am over all of that now. Watched some tv, applied for a few more jobs (including petland), and played some basketball. Went shopping on amazon and found the api test kit for $16 and the aqueon copy of a python for $24 with free shipping. Probably going to order it tonight. Then comes the "fun" part of re arranging the room so the 25ft gravel vac can reach the tanks easily. Luckily it isnt that hard to drain the smaller tanks and move them since each tank only has one fish in it. But it gives me the ability to give the floors a good cleaning and rearrange the room. Plus I can put the two tanks near each other now.
