cities are getting fed up with panhandling these days, especially when the government is handing out food stamps and providing housing among other things, probably are giving you loans as well so what they've done is put laws into effect that jail people who do panhandling, so if you want a professional career I suggest you don't panhandle.
If you have a full time job then it's probably a job that pays for lesser than the classload you're taking or your school is too expensive. You can take some courses at the community college that could be transferred in and they aren't as expensive as a four year college or university, plus you should be living at home while you school therefore your expenses would be lesser. But if you are out of money or don't have enough then stop schooling and take an extra part-time job and save up some money and continue school later, or just start repaying your student loans while you live at home and get more education later. some people it's taken then 20 years to get their degree so there's no real rush. Did you think maybe your running around in the car is what's costing you money? Perhaps you shouldn't drive so much or should save your outings when you have 5 things to do and then do all your errands at once? Or maybe your car is a gas guzzler? But whatever it is you've got to learn to budget now or you'll be in trouble later on. If you don't have the money then don't spend it. There are lots of ways to cut your food, electric, and rent costs so you can have extra money.
Cities are locking down on pan handlers. It's called financial aid, loans, grants, and scholarships. Havs some self respect.
Be polite.
I have a full time job, but It's not enough. I'm out of gas money. On top of that, my academic year starts soon and I don't have enough to cover all of my school expenses.
What are some suggestions for being successful at panhandling?
