Open Question: How do I get a job quick?

Ok, the economy sucks and ever since I turned 16, I've been looking for a job for a very long time now. I do not have a job experience and that's all they seem to be looking for: Experience and being 18. However, I believe that taking a Hospitality course was beneficial, but most applications will not allow me to include extra things to get me hired. I want to help my family through financial matters, and with being the oldest, I feel that I am disappointing them because of no success. Blah blah. Sorry for the sob story, but it's true. Lol. I filled out TONS of applications with no luck. It's like playing the lottery, but using hope instead of money. XD Anyways, I appreciate the time.
