What are your trying to make money for more coins? If that's the case if you sell your coins then you have to start over.

 

I think the most important question is why do you need to make money? Is there something you want to buy or do you just need spending cash. I wouldn't sell anything that you are really attached to because once you do it's gone for good and the money will be spent before you know it. If you are still in HS and don't need the money that bad...I would do what the others have said and try and get jobs doing things like mowing laws and walking dogs. Finish school and then look for work.

 

I did that, regret selling a few, but eventually tracked them down and bought them back.

 

I think if you have local coin club near by, that most members are rather quiet and make newcomers very welcome. Many collectors of different things are Asperger Syndrome individuals, even thought they may not be diagnosed. One works at a local coin and gold exchange, and has a great knowledge of error coins and foreign coinage. Like most AS individuals. he does have a difficulty in social skills, but his thinking skills are outstanding. Reconsider selling of coins for spare money. I am sure your parents are very supportive, so ask them to recommend you to others they know to do odd jobs, or as you mention, collect aluminum cans. Also ask them or support members to see about classes for social interaction. I think you will do well as you are interacting with us here. Best wishes.

just remember you can do anything you put your mind to

 

Don't give up dude. It's tough out there and jobs/money are hard to find -- for everyone. Perseverance is the most important thing -- just keep trying and you'll find the answer to your problems. Be careful about short-term solutions (e.g., selling your coins) that have no long-term benefits. Develop your skills, education, and personal contacts. Be patient, work hard, and things will eventually go your way.

 

there is nothing wrong with accepting money from your parents, you can buy and sell coins online. then work your way up to owning an online coin shop. lay out a plan and ask your parents to invest a little.

place a local ad stating you pay cash for coins. have a buy price and a sell price for every coin.

you can pay them back once you start making a profit. if it doesn't work out at-least you can have some fun.

or find something you love doing and turn it into a career.

if you make money doing something you love and have a passion for, then you will never have to work to make money.

you seem to have a lot of ambition , and thats a great quality

take some college classes and major in what your passion is.

 

Grade if you are 18 and truely have a dissability than send me a PM, we can talk on the phone. Anyone with a disability has a special place in my heart. (I used to work the Dallas County Crisis Line while persuing a social working degree). Lots of ideas are pouring in.

 

Here is a quick start. Put an add in the newspaper or Craigslist about your situation and your dissability. Let them know that you want to be a productive member in society. Let them know that you are attempting to raise money to buy a metal detector. (The new MD's like the Garrett are so cool, and will tell you if it is a coins.. What kind, Jewelry, ect). Metal detectors are like a cult. They are very dedicated, and have all kinds of detectors from the years. You could even pay them back from your finds. Somone in your local Metal Detecting/Coin club will hook you up. Get to scanning. The key is to go to a popular park. Learn the history, speak with people. (people will approach you). That is a good thing though. For some reason the people that go to parks are in a good mood and mostly good people. Have fun, enjoy, get some excercise and then print an article about your experience. God Bless.

 

i got a new metal detector for xmas a bounty hunter quick silver

 

Talk to your school guidance counselor. He/she may be able to help you or point you in the right direction when it comes to employment. There are also a lot of home based jobs than many companies offer to those with disabilities. Google "jobs for people with disabilities". There are even federal jobs. Good pay and good benefits. Good luck.

And to add, just because you got turned down at Target, doesn't mean you stop trying. Try Walmart or other smaller mom and pop type stores. You are going to run into more failure than success at first, but your odds of getting a job will increase with the more applications you fill out!

 

Keep saying to your self "I am eminently employable" and you will find in ten years or so you will have one or more jobs that have proved you right! The power of positive thinking!

PS - Don't be so quick to be "on your own" - If your parents are supportive, it's ok to be a kid for a while longer.



And on the days that nothing is happening, take stock in what pleases you, what your passions are, and see if any opportunities are coming up that can entertain you for those pleasures and passions. Life is more than a job.

 

I have that same one. I was going to recommend you go metal detecting.
