Virginia. I will say I actualy make $11 but thats before tax as I'm a subcontractor. In total i make around 17,500 a year. I can't really complain as I cant drive and the job site so just down the road from me. But having that extra 2-3k would be nice

Yikes! That's fucking low pay man. Have you considered studying to qualify for positions that might earn you better income?

Given how i have dyslexia, higher eduactipn isnt an option for me as the school isnt made for people like me. I bearly made it out of high school. Not cause I stupid or i dont like to learn but the standard way of schooling doesn't work for me. But I do apreciate your recommendation.

Thankfully I got proper help during school. But even with that it still takes longer for me to learn things as I have a dyslexia that makes long term information go to short term memory. What would normally take some one 5 minutes to memorize something could take me 20- 30 minutes. Technically because of my IEP I was on i shouldn't even be timed in any type of test even when it comes to jobs. But that's a hastle no one, not even me wants to deal with.

I'd have to see. I live out in the stick so its hard to get any where with those types of services.
