Ditto on UPS. It's a Teamster shop, and they staff up a lot for the holiday rush and pay pretty well, though it's hard work. If you can impress the bosses with your reliability and diligence, and can get on year round, you're set, because you'll also get good health care and retirement benefits.





You should be trying to get a job with a big firm, or the government, because with three kids, you need health care coverage and some stability. For the same reason, check out USPS (the Post Office), your local city government, and local and state offices. If you can get hired there, you can make a decent living with excellent benefits.





Your first option shouldn't be retail, because that's mostly seasonal, doesn't offer benefits, and has a very big ratio of part time and short term low paid entry level to real full time management positions. You need to see if you can get a living wage, with stability, not just a teenager's pay-off-the-car wage.





You might see if you can take the qualifying test for the police department, too, since you're young, though they might require college credits or even a degree in some places. If you're a minority, or a woman in the case of some places like the police, even if you think you're not quite qualified, you might have a better shot than you think at some slots at big organizations that are trying to raise their minority representation.





Remember, you're heading into the Christmas rush season, so if you need to do retail, be optimistic at least in the short term. You should be able to find a place at Target or some other place that'll need extra warm friendly bodies for the Christmas rush, at the very least, but those jobs won't pay too well and won't last past the second week of January unless you realllly impress the boss.





Also, since it looks like we're heading into at least a mild recession, collections is always a growth industry in tough times. Since it's so emotionally wearing, they have a lot of turnover.
