Alright I'm putting in a few applications this week and I havent had a job before so I dont know who too put down as my Reference's. Any tips? I was thinking maybe my teachers or something, seeing as how they cannot be related too me.

You've made it this far without a job, don't start now 'cause you'll never be free again. Avoid the job at all costs, for as long as possible. Make a deal with the folks, whatever it takes.
You'll thank me later!

Ryanstones gave some really good advice!Make your job to find a rich woman to support your hobbies.If that fails and you have to find a job it doesnt hurt to embellish a little.Take a look at tasks you have done in the past maybe on your computer,quads,cars,lawn jobs then research the field you want to go in and go for that job.Webdesign,Small engine,Auto mechanic,Landscaping.As long as you are willing to learn fast claim that you have done the things at home for years.No employer expects 100% right away and all do things differently they love a employee who is eager to learn and as long as you keep learning and getting along with everyone even if it means sucking up a bit.After all the goal in this game is to make the most money possible.That way you can afford more free time to do what you really want to do.

I'm actually going to apply for a job today at a hardware store, I'll prolly either be a cashier or stock shelves, for my references I've used teachers and coaches. Also make sure you come up with some reasons why you want to work there. Last time i went to a supermarket and the application asked why I wanted to work there and I was pretty much stumped...lol
