U can go to the secretary of state office to apply for ur SSN as soon as u arrived, say the next day, and u'll get it in less than two weeks all things being equal. As for account, u need ur SSN to open account, i opened my first account with Chase Bank 2days after i got my SSN, and the account was closed, reason the said they were unable to verify my SSN, that it takes like 30days for ur SSN to be available for verification, so they mail my money in check to and i opened it with Bank of America, here in chicago they av Chase Bank ATM everywhere but Bank of America u'll need to walk a distance to get on. As per job, there are a lot of health care job here in Chicago, if u just sacrifice 5weeks for a CNA program, u'll definitely get a job, there are a lot of other jobs around, remember u have to start somewhere, like myself, i just got a job at O'Hare international airport as a Ramp agent. i'm using cricket phone with unlimited talk, unlimited national texting and unlimited international texting for $45 a month, but i'll be changing very soon. her in Chicago, u can do very well without a car if u want, they av train and buses everywhere, all i do is get the address of where i want to go and my location, put it in google or yahoo map, chose transit and it will jus tell me how to get there from where i am, u don't av to trek. i am really blest, i live in a luxurious three bedroom apartment with my university roommate who left 9ja 2003. i know God will favor all of us in due time. this my number fell free to call anytime (773) 970 7847. cheers!

go to careerbuilder.com and craigslist.com, some of the company put their number there for u to call, some put a link to their website. as for getting to my job place, in my earlier post, i made mention of chicago having a very good transportation system, so i don't even see a reason for a car, apart from going to work, i don't really go anywhere on my own, always ridding with my friend but i will get a car as soon as i start school.
