I wanna become a gutter punk

You know, the young kids who are intentionally homeless, just travel around in groups hitchkiking and hopping freight trains. Spend their money all on booze or drugs or both. Dumpster dive for food, wear dirty clothes. Yea, how do I get into one of those groups?
like these kids http://occupiedusa.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/the-taxonomy-of-train-riders/

How ambitious of you. If drunken runaway children figured it out, I am sure you will too. Start by learning the major train routes and buying a fat sack of meth and a knife.

It aint difficult to become an oogle.
Buy a bottle of booze. Find a group of them. Offer to drink with them. No matter how different you appear to be, they WONT turn down free booze.
before you know it you'll come to with your dick in some fat and tatted drugged up slut with a dreadhawk under a bridge.

I've kinda been there. Not quite train-hopping gutter punk living on the streets, but broke travelling schoolbus-dwelling (and at times street-sleeping) hippie. There was a fair amount of crossover between the two groups.
It can definitely be fun for awhile. One hell of a life experience. I think I'd stay away from the train-hopping aspect in particular though, shit can be dangerous as fuck for a plethora of reasons.
If you decide to go through with it, just keep your wits about you at all times, never trust anybody too much, and leave yourself the option to get out and reintegrate into society if and when you choose to do so (keep some emergency cash stashed in a bank account at all times). The vast majority of them do go back to a somewhat normal/mainstream life eventually, no matter how big they talk.

I relate. I was never a full fledged trainhoppig gutter punk but I hung out with a good lot of em. I was a rubber tramping alcoholic (lived in a car and spanged up money for booze). When I didnt have a car I would squat under bridges sometimes.
It is the sorta thing where you either stop one day or face eventual death. Overdose, stabbings, falling off trains, complications from alcoholism...Ive had at least a few dozen of my friends die before the age of 35.

I played basketball with a gutter punk the other day. His friend was passed out on a bench nearby. "Yeah, he took too much acid yesterday." Saw them walking down the street when I went out drinking the next Saturday.

I would be a little afraid once I got into that life for real, that it would be too hard to get out, and would be stuck there, for life.

One time I walked into burger king and applied and the lady asked me, "it says on your refferences you never had a job before...why?" And I looked at her real confused and I said, "How am I suppose to already have a job before I get a job I dont get it"
I guess I didnt get the job because i never had a job before, which is fucking bullshit.

Yeah...its difficult to get a job without experience...getting a job when youve been working age for a few years and have no experience is a near Herculean task.

But it only gets worse as you get older, so its a never ending cycle....I cant get a job because I dont have any experience, but I cant get any experience because I cant get a job. Fucking judgmental bitches hiring people. They hire a 18 year old slutty girl who never had a job, but not an honest guy looking for work. And the slutty girl quits after two months because the work is too hard and are desperately looking for new people.

Do you have a good reason for not having had a job before? It's the job of the interviewer to judge you, so going in with a "fuck this guy" and "I can't get a job" attitude is going to disqualify you pretty quick.

Well, that's why they have a job, because they take it seriously. $7.50 an hour for a lazy pothead who think his menial tasks are worth $15 an hour is a bad investment regardless of what kind of job it is. When you put a 25 year old in an entry level fast food position, it's kind of a given that he's not going to be happy and will most likely keep looking for another job. Training costs probably aren't worth it. An 18 year old might stay for a year or more.

I never said I was trying to get 15 dollars an hour, I'm just trying to get a job for any wage. I always write down the minimum wage on the application where it asks you what you want your starting wage to be.

I never said you were either. The example of the lazy pothead was not meant to be a description of you.
Do you have a good reason for not having work experience at your age? Military/college experience? Medical/family issues? Jail? If you do, it might be worthwhile explaining your situation to hiring managers in the future. Gotta sell yourself.

No I dont have any reasons for not having any work experiences besides the fact that they wouldn't hire me. One time when I was being intereviewed they asked me if i had any reasons for not having any work expeirence and i kinda got irritated at her and said how am I suppose to force someone to have hired me back then? its not my fault they just refused to hire me. i walked out of there with a bad feeling and ofcourse she didnt hire me.

Do you groom up before interviews, like shower and deodorant, remove any ear gauges/wook dreads, wear something nice?
These people interviewing you must be thinking the same thing I am, what's wrong with this guy that literally nobody is willing to hire him?
I know a couple people who fudged their resumes to land six figure jobs that they weren't even close to qualified for, you could always try that. It worked pretty well for them, they both got fired as time went on but they made fat stacks and gained enough experience to talk their way into similar jobs. Only one was found out, and it was a year after he was hired, the other was fired for being wasted at work.

Yeah I groom up.
I really hate it when I go inside a place, and ask for a job application, and they tell me they dont have any and you can only apply for the job online. That shit really fucking pisses me off.
