A word of advice while you are still young... keep that one secured credit card you have and use it to pay bills only. That way you build up a credit history. In other cases only use your debit card. When you are finally able to get a credit card in 6 months or so, ONLY GET AN AMERICAN EXPRESS GREEN CARD!
You have to pay off that AMEX green every month instead of carrying a balance.
When you are young and partying hard, your credit situation goes downhill quickly. Don't mess with credit. Only spend what you have on hand. The companies are counting on you getting in trouble now. This is why they give college students cards. They know you will mess up but you will also get a decent job that will allow you to pay off their penalty fee laden balance in the future.
Don't do it. If you do get more cards use them once and immediately pay them online once every 3 months.
You will still be able to get a card even though you dont have a job.
