My girlfriend has a "useless" degree, no transportation, and basically no experience. I'm all out of ideas. Please help.

She's got a popular music degree; she's concentrated in performance as she's a singer, but let's be real about the job market here.

She comes from a very low income family that unfortunately she had to get away from for a variety of reasons, and she's living with me now.

She has no car. She has no license. I have a car, but it's stick shift and she doesn't know how to drive it.

I'm in a really popular part of my town near a major college, so there's a lot of businesses nearby. Unfortunately most things we find are 2+hr bus rides away.

We've applied to administrative assistants, receptionists, front desk assistants, inside sales, customer service, data entry, etc.

There's only 2 things that have actually come through:

• Outside sales 100% commission selling garbage nobody wants (shoddy credit card terminals), which would be basically 0 income

• Cashier position at a family owned resteraunt right outside of my apartment complex, which she's working at now for minimum wage

Come mid-year she's going to owe $600/mo in student loan payments and I'm kind of freaking out. I've never felt so helpless. I make pretty solid money as a software developer, but supporting us both would be difficult. Doable, but not fun for anyone involved.

I need help. We have no idea where to go with this. The best scenario so far is maybe down the line she gets paid a dollar or two more an hour and maybe gets some more hours, but still she'd be making ultimately less than $10/hr full-time. Even if she got a waitress position... It's not the best outlook.

I've tried to get her into web development, and she likes making the web pages but she's a long, long ways away from getting paid for it being a realistic idea. So it's basically fallen off and not been touched since.
