    College kid looking for work, scrapping worth the time?

    Hi I was recently laid off of a computer repair job and have been looking for work. I have had a couple interviews for various retail jobs with all of them saying I would most likely be getting paid 9-10 dollars an hour with about 15 to 20 hours a week for the first 2 to 6 months if I get hired. So far I have not had any second interviews which is disappointing. I am in college working towards 2 degrees and my hw is easy and I have a lot of free time.

    My question is would I make more money learning scrapping then working at a retail job with random hours? This is a general question and I want opinions and person experience. I feel like there is a ton of money to be made in scrapping and money being thrown out the window by the public. I accessed this from doing a couple hours of research although I could be wrong. I know with anything hard work and determination always pays off but while im in college I think scrapping may be more lucrative then retail. Thanks.
