I know what you mean. Since Lafayette is kinda small, you have to know people to get recommended for jobs. I recommend Radio Shack to start with and build from there. You need to write up a resume listing your skills and projects you've worked on (booting Linux on a Dreamcast is evidence to me of a good understanding of computers). Then, simply papermail or email every computer shop and firm in Lafayette. What's the worst that can happen? They may say no now, but once you get that degree, doors will open for you. Again, a resume is absolutely necessary to getting a job that pays more than minimum wage. On the other hand, not having Internet access in your room means that you have more time to devote towards classwork and assignments, and maybe even discovering sunlight and fresh air (remember those?). Something else you could try is asking for a student job with the University. Lots of jobs available when I was there. Check out: http://careerservices.louisiana.edu They also list other jobs around Lafayette. It really comes down to communicating with the flesh nodes of the human network in order to discover and consume energy resources. The protocols aren't written down, so you have to learn them as you go, which can suck sometimes. Don't expect success on the first try. If you are persistent and maybe lucky, you can discover hidden features of the protocol that not many people know about, and then you can exploit those features. (i love caffeine). Good luck.
