If you want your own apartment you'll probably have to work full time unless your parents can really help you out with rent. I can't say for sure about where you live, but for me it's impossible to do right now(especially in the silicon valley/CA).

I'm going to a community college right now and working between 30 and 40 hours a week at a pizzeria, I've worked there since high school.

Restaurants and Retail Stores are probably your best bet for a first job at a young age.

The thing you need to think about is, can you go to school and work full time? Are you willing to work or go to school part time and do the other full time?

Well the cost of living off campus is roughly 600$ of campus utilities included plus I will have top dollar financial aid I think with lots of budgeting and maybe a room mate I could do it yanno ?

And no I plan on going part time to college not full time I couldn't work full time and go to college full time it just wouldn't work

That is insanely cheap compared to where I live, so with a roommate I would imagine you could make it work. What is minimum wage? Since that's likely what you'll be making, you need to think about how many hours you need to work in order to make ~600-800 a month or more.
Personally, I recommend a restaurant that gets a good amount in tips. I make an extra $5-10 an hour and that's low for some areas.

Wow, i just realized how lucky i am.
I am about to start in University of Hawaii, and my tuition is covered already with scholarships. This includes my dorm and food also.

they usually have jobs on campus. dont get something too time consuming

Well I like like 20 mins from college so I am lucky I guess , but as for getting a job in my second year i just did straight college no part time work as I was doing Computer Science and needed every hour i had to get work done. But during this summer i started doing work at a charity shop it was for no pay of course but needed experience to get a real part time job. I just quit the charity shop last week and already got offered a job at a festival for week and should hopefully be working as a kitchen porter at the weekends during college semester.

I currently go to a community college here in Kentucky and I work at UPS. They pay full tuition for my community college and if needed, they will pay for your apartment for you somewhere near the Plant so you commute to work. This is all here, so be sure to research what your options are where you live. Here for any questions.

While minimum is 7.25$ in Austin and around the area most jobs don't pay minimum the average pay depending on what you're looking for is roughly 10-15$ an hour and plus I will spilt everything in half with maybe my girlfriend and I may have an extra roommate my car would be paid off the only thing I'd have to worry about is insurance so just a rough estimate I'm probably looking at 400$ a month which I make every two weeks but like I said that's just an estimate things change everyday I'm hoping to get a place around Austin with utilities included like I said that isn't a bad price but before I do decide to make that big move I will definitely have everything lined up including a job and I will have money saved up. It's crazy how back in my home country they send you to college completely free... vs here they watch you struggle and fill yourself up with debt, America is messed up.
