I thought it stood for Good Enough Diploma

jfwy just havin a little fun dont get all bent out of shape please.

In all seriousness you really up against a wall on this one. Being that your only 17 and still a minor in the state of FL I beleive you are not allowed to work 40+ hrs (full time) I think the max for a minor is only like 35. Plus being under 18 any place that use's heavy equipment (ie construction) wont hire you due to liability reasons.

Plus this GED issue might tend to be a problem. Now I am not sayin the GED is a bad thing I know alot of people who have them and are succesfull. But most employers might see that and say "hey only 17 and he quite high school to get a GED???? Well how long is he gonna work here and then decided to quite on us?????"

Your best bet in this situation is to get into a grocery store. They are great places to work IMO. I use to stock for Publix for like 5 years (staring when I was 16 then up into college) and honestly that wasnt that bad of a job but alot of that was because we made it fun (I worked there with a couple friends)

Plus some of the cashiers are hot and makes for some nice eye candy at work Just be carefull dating them and sleeping with them. I made that mistake lol. Sleep with em and then I would move on to the new better looking girl who they just hired. Made for some weird moments at work

Good luck to ya bro!
