My wife used to work for Progressive insurance out in Rancho (like 4-5 years ago) and they were paying $12/hr for phone support people. It wasn't even technical and they put you through all the training you need.
When I worked for Comp USA in '98 as an A+ certified tech I was making $10.25/hr. I don't know what the pay would be like now.
If I were you and had some good experience in tech stuff, I'd look in to phone support/help desk, tech or not. You usually get pay AND benefits in that way. I'll check our job listings for anything like that.

Aliens..... But seriously i've known lots of people and myself included. Applied and wasn't good enough because i didn't pass their lame personality test. Thats why i say they don't hire people.

If you are truly interested in working for the state, invest the $75 bucks and take this seminar. Ignore the dates, they offer the seminar about once month or so.
I wish I'd known about that 10 years ago. I had to learn the hard way. I started as a student assistant, but have been promoted 4 times, so far.

I can find out more if you're interested. PM me.
Also, most grocery stores pay more than $10. My buddy is a utility clerk (janitor) for $14 an hour at a grocery store.
