Absolutley, you can get a credit card however some credit card companies will require you to put up some funds in a account that the bank owns as a security issue so that should you not pay them back they will simply take the funds out of your savings, it is called a secured card account. Some banks might not require this and if you are getting offers in the mail send the best offer away and see what haoppens.

Yep, but you must have a high enough "household income". I think that the minimum of the last card I applied for was $10,000. How else could college students get plastic? :P The problem you may run into, though, is lack of credit history. If you've had your name on a mortgage, auto loan, etc, you should be fine, though. If nothing else, you could apply for a store credit card.
