So you have about 40k in disposable income?

Save for a while until you get a sizable downpayment for a house along with a few months mortgage. You can start building equity instead of paying rent and never seeing that money again.

Learn to invest and do some of that. Really basic shit here. Having 40k at the end of the year after expenses are paid is pretty much easy mode.

For front desk clerks? Pretty much anything with customer service or professional experience and no criminal record.

Having a good interview is the main thing.

It's an entry level job ($9-$11 an hour depending on where you are) so it's not like the requirements are very high.

Night auditors make a bit more and it's a pretty easy job if you want to go that route.
