Is there a way to earn money without a job?

Until you’re able to find a new job, I think you need to try talking to your boss again about this situation and let him know that missing school or any of your practices is not an option. While I realize being understaffed can be stressful for him, school is honestly more important for you to be focusing on and he has to understand that.

In the mean time, I think you need to look into applying for other jobs even if the work is slim in your area. You just have to keep trying anyways, especially if your current boss isn’t really respecting your need to do school related activities.

Other then applying for another job, you could always offer yourself up for small side jobs such as babysitting, helping people clean up their yards for fall, or anything else that you’re able to do in your spare time. Unfortunately without doing some work, getting money is impossible.

If none of this works out, as difficult as it may be, you may have to start cutting your costs to make ends meet. This might mean taking the bus to school if you’re not already, switching to a lower cost phone plan, etc.
