    If you have a job offer, why won't the prospective employer pay for it?

    Also curious what the circumstances are for needing to reinstate your cdl

    The exam is $60-100. Hop on the Craigslist on temp jobs and do some work for one day for somebody

    Find one of those labor force places, "work today, get paid today". You might be sorting glass from cans at a recycling plant, but--it's money.

    If allowed in your state, sell your blood plasma. Usually about fifty bucks per session, allowed every ten days, I believe. Not recommended, because you might feel like #### afterward, especially if you're not well hydrated when you go there. Also your plasma is where your immune system lives, and that can cause you to get sick if they take away some of it. Probably just a cold, but.....

    Go to your county employment office. There may be programs to assist you, but you generally have to go ask in person.

    Look around your house. Sell some of your stuff on Craigslist.

    Good luck.
     
    Hackler Thanks this.
