I would have to agree with rrlund about getting the DBA. In some states you dont have to have one and others you simply have to register with the dept. of labor. What it amounts to in a nutshell is a contract laborer. Just like he said, you could work for any of the different trades or even farmers when they need temporary help, which can very easily end up being a full time position simply because they dont have to put you on the payroll. Their might be some farmers that need extra harvest/planting help but cant afford to put someone on the payroll due to taxes and etc. Even if it doesnt amount to full time, you could use it to help pay for the cost of furthering your education. Many of the community colleges / trade schools have classes taylored to non-traditional students. For example, when I was in const. school, i took night classes for welding. The welding class was 3hrs one night a week during the school year. There were people of all ages that didnt necessarily go to school full time and others went just to gain certain skills. (such as welding certification) As far as getting your name out there, maybe consider putting an ad in the local newspaper whether it be a classified ad or maybe a print ad. Hang out a flyer in the lumberyard or feed store and etc. if they will allow you to. Simply mentioning to a few different places you'd be interested in contract labor, could go a long way. The only drawback to contract labor is the fact that you most likely wont qualify for any benefits such as health insurance and retirement. If you dont already have it, I would really consider getting some. At your age it should be realtively affordable. At 24, with an average coverage package including perscriptions, I pay around $120 a month. It might be required in some states, but contractors liability insurance would be another asset. I've gotten several construction projects simply because I was insured, where the competitors werent. Hope this helps. I was in a similar situation just after college so shoot me an email if you'd like.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
