Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I know how you feel about the no experience part but for some reason, the only people who can get away with that is those coming out of high school, but not for older adults. Employers realize you won't have previous experience at all if you were a student going to school. I remember one daughter feeling the same and had no idea what to put on her application form she got at various places she tried for work. Obviously it looks so empty without previous jobs listed. If there is no place to put write N/A, which means not applicable, meaning previous work doesn't apply to you and you might write instead 'recent HS graduate and name of school and date of graduation. So try shops at the malls, restaurants, etc. look on line to see what part time jobs are out there. My girls were trained for all sorts of jobs with no previous experiences, coffee barista, clerk and shelf stocker at stores in mall, one did a fast food place, grocery clerk and one was still working cashier at Walmart but moved to be with boyfriend and works in a chicken processing/packaging plant.
Get the job and let them know ahead that you plan to take some college courses in the fall and advise them of your class schedule so the can schedule your work hours accordingly. That way they aren't surprised later that you need special consideration for scheduling your shifts. Scheduling work hour shifts around a student employee's needs is no problem. Most employers don't mind and daughters had no trouble with it.
GOOD LUCK!

Why can't you do both? I held a job all during my undergraduate years and my studies didn't suffer. I did have a bit less time to get myself in trouble but I usually had enough money to keep my car serviced and gassed up as well as the wherewithal to show the ladies a good time as well.
