What is it you need to be a prepper or to live a provident life. The first thing you need in income. Yes get a job.  All the things you need to live any kind of life require income. What you do is up to you and how much you make is also up to you. It is seldom possible to start at a job that pays a large salary. Most people have to start at a job in an entry level position and work your way up, around or through till you can get the job you want.

I have heard people say they can not get a job. I have heard other people say if you want a job you can find one.  If you are willing to work you will almost always be able to find a job. It takes some effort and looking, but you can get work. I do not promise that the job you get will be your dream job, the one you went to school to have or even one that will pay all your bills. I have learned that if you have a job, any job.  It is easier to find a better job. You are in the market. you can check the job board at work for something better and you may hear from people that you work with of other opportunities.

I did not start out in my dream job. My first job was picking vegetables on a local farm in the summer. My next job was sweeping the floors of a retail store after it closed for the day. Then washing dishes at a restaurant. I worked up the ladder in the restaurant till I was the night manager. The resume goes on for some time as I changed jobs sometimes for better work sometimes for better money. I have never had the big job that makes all my dreams come true. I do have a good job that meets my family's needs and is good honest work.  The point being that each job led to the next. You can even find work by volunteering. How ever you find work you need income. I strongly urge you to do good honest work that will pay the bills and let you get ahead.
