Gather the resources? Better late then never.

Not exactly sure how.

I mean, I could go to my dad's, but my mom doesn't have anywhere to go. Her siblings are too far and my nan's apartment is barely big enough for one person.

Wait, hang on, isn't your mum also insane? Why would you bring her along and not just bail out yourself?

Does he have experience? If no, good luck!

Catch 22 job hunting. Can't get experience without a job, but to get a job you need experience.
It is the most stupid of catch 22s. >:(

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I had volunteer work. Turned into a full-time job for a few months (went into it with the knowledge that it was a temporary position). Do it.

"Animal rehabilitation" definitely is, though. Remember, the first step to writing a resume is lying your goddamn ass off. Technically true is the best sort of true when selling yourself like livestock.

E: Make sure to mention your excellent dental structure and fertile loins, kevak. That always goes well.

You mean 'not spun well enough'.

My job is Summer only, and it is way too light on orders right now for me to consider going in even for part-time.

I've had some co-op and volunteer work as well. None of this has seemed to help me on job hunts though.

My mom owns her own business, but it's very small.

Ways to get work:

1. Volunteer at a place which also employs people similar to you (possibly older). After a year or two, inquire about paid work. That's how I got two of my jobs.

2. Know someone on the inside. This is the magical skeleton key to 90% of the employment and academic thresholds you'll have to overcome in your life. The best is a friend or a friend of the family who can fast-track your application to approval, which works well if it's a sort of informal place where someone from another department "happening" to mention to the person in charge of hiring that "Oh, so'n'so, this person I know/my friend's kid/etc. is going to apply with us, they're a great... etc." That's how I got another job, in this case it was literally 'apply three times over the course of two months, get zero response' followed by 'email friend of family who has worked there for a year or two, get call from the guy in charge of crew hiring two days later'.

Likewise, that's why networking is important, even if you bloody hate it and everyone you're talking to.

Incidentally, this is also why it's so important to have all your shit together and appear professional when you're applying to a place which doesn't know you and doesn't employ anyone who does: people with one of those advantages are already fast-tracked, so you need to scramble to look as good as possible for whatever positions remain. It's also why you're scrupulous about always showing up to work, taking overtime hours you might not want, etc. when you're young and entry-level: just doing that will (sadly) mark you as an exemplary employee for a lot of places, as well as insulating you from the continual turnover and potentially getting you in place for a promotion while you work on whatever real education/career you're doing.

Wow, how'd you do that?

If I told my parents I wanted a person from the internet to stay with us...they'd be less than pleased.

That's easy, just start acting gay (rainbow scarf, lisp, watching 'Glee'), then, when they find out you want to be with a woman, they'll be all "Oh Thank God!"

(this may not be as true as it was 15-20 years ago)

If I started watching Glee, even as part of a farce, methinks I'd do a Mastah with a pick to the head, not ass.

And yea, still true here anyway. So far, people I, personally, know treat gay people the same way as normal people, but no one wants their child to be one.
