Steve, you are too smart to earn $200 a week.
Go and see a good recruiting agency, update your resume, and ask for a job that pays double than what others your age are getting. Get into a sales style position that pays on performance, not age. Your personality will earn you big money. If you think you are worth more, the person sitting accross the desk will feel the same way.
When i was 18 - 20 yrs old, i did exactly what i said above. I earnt twice as much as my mates did, and i was in different sales jobs that paid good money for getting the boss the numbers he wanted. Sales jobs always pay well if you perform. Sales jobs always have interesting people with interesting ideas. AND the bonus is, that some hot girls work in Sales as well.
Most of my life i have been self employed in a sales or performance style industry, cause i refused to earn what most other people did.
You are a switched on guy Steve, dont worry mate, i know 2010 will be a bloody great year for you. No guts, no glory. Go hard i say.
ohh, last thing, when something shitty happens, say "is that the best you can do to stop me, yehh right, not even close".
Have fun.
