I'm actually in the process of trying to find more $$ right now too. I've been told already that it's probably going to be a waste of my time, but I'm trying to get some kind of job at a local "Mom and Pop" type computer store. For only being 17 I'm fairly knowledgeable about computers and I'm actually working on my Cisco and CompTIA Net+ certifications right now. Hopefully with one (or both) to my name I might just have a chance to get some sort of job there. It probably won't pay as good as it would for a more qualified person, but even if I could make what I'm making now and be doing something I like, then I'd be plenty happy.
