Is there a way you could find work online that would pay though PayPal? Assuming they don’t have access to your paypal account. That way you could do extra work from home in your free time without them knowing. I started out working online by writing to small businesses and offering a free service to show the value of my work. If they were interested, I explained my rates. Maybe that’s an avenue you could pursue.

Never thought of that actually🤔
If this job pays you enough to get an apartment, my question was whether you can apply for one. Then move out when you’re accepted. And when you move out change your account info.
Forgive me if I’m missing something, but I don’t know why you’re current job means you can’t do this. Do you have to have the Dispatcher job first? Can you do magick to get it?
.
With Covid, there’s lot of remote jobs available. Can you double up on work (in the short term) and get a job that direct deposits (or whatever else) into a different account?
My current job makes 11$ an hour on 10-19 hours a week
This job starts at 17$ an hour on 12 hour based shifts
And with the current job I have and that poor time and money plus her taking half of it out…I’ll never have enough for another 10 ish years if I rely on this job so I need an actual career not be a bagger for the rest of my life cause I’d never leave becoming a bagger then they just vacuum more money off me
Why are you working anywhere for $11/hr? I’m assuming you’re in the US and older than 16. Walmart pays $17/hr in some positions. Almost any job will pay at least $15. I say, stop being so focused on this dispatcher job and just get a hold of anything until you’re in a better place.
I’ll recommend Belial, Baal, Dantalion, Sargatanas, Ipos.

Hey bud, I just wanted to say that I’ve been where you’re at right now, and I can absolutely empathize. But - I got out. It IS possible. I’ve been out for about 9 years.
It’s hard, and it’s scary, but you can do it. If you can get this dispatcher job, use it to get out of their house asap - most apartments require 2 pay stubs for approval. At this point I would be casually looking for studio apartments if you’re dead set on living alone. Another way to get out would be finding someone who’s already looking for a roommate, as rooms + your share of utilities/bills would likely be less than a studio apartment.
Figure out what you already own that you want to keep, and what you’re okay with leaving behind, to replace at a later date. Clothing for all weather types should be prioritized. Sentimental items, too. Put them in boxes/bags in your closet. If your parents ask, say something along the lines of “I felt like organizing, it was getting a little too messy in my room for my liking”.
Do you have your personal legal paperwork? Birth certificate, social security card. (Assuming you’re in the US since you used 911 instead of 999 or whatever other countries use)
If your parents have them, you’re gonna have to get a little sneaky about it. If you can’t find/hide them, they CAN be replaced. It’s a bit of a hassle, but absolutely doable.
Lastly, I would highly suggest using the dispatcher job as a stepping stone. Stay at it for a year or two. Use that experience to land a dispatch job for trucking/logistics companies - they pay a LOT better. Trucking and logistics is a huge industry, especially with how the world is right now. Working as a 911 dispatcher will demonstrate that you have the skills to prioritize and stay calm under pressure: very desirable in the logistics world.
Actually lastly, as soon as you’re out, open a new bank account that your parents don’t have access to. Close the one(s) they do have access to, if that’s an option.
For real super duper lastly, your parents are financially abusing you. They do not have your best interest at heart. After getting out, you may find yourself EXCEPTIONALLY angry with them, like pure rage. Don’t let it consume you. Put your parents on an information diet. “Yeah I’m doing fine, but I actually have to get off the phone because I’m having dinner soon/going for a walk/meeting with my friend’s dog’s dentist/whatever, bye”. Don’t give them any more information than you would a work acquaintance.
It’s hard. You can do this. Good luck.
