So get this, i'm a young lad of 23, Fairly decent in health. I had a stable job for about three years, then suddenly BAM! laid off. I've been looking for nearly a year and a half, crawling through bars, restaurants, Retail and otherwise. all i ever get is MAYBE a first interview and that's about it. I've sold just about everything of value, but i can't exactly Leave the area due to family issues, so getting a job far away just isn't an option for me.

I can't give plasma either, as my veins are apparently too small to donate properly, and i Don't know of Any sperm banks around (Not that i'd even know how to go about donating, or even if i was eligible.

On top of this situation, i've got a looming rent payment, though i live with family, i'm expected to pay rent cause we've got to stay afloat somehow.

I've sold just about everything i can on craigslist, i've even advertised myself on craigslist for work, and all i ever get is calls from people wanting me to pay them for a professional resume, or Email scams and otherwise.

It's hit a new low this month, as since my Mom technically owns the house (it's in her name, though my father paid for it with a settlement he got, He put it in her named to avoid probate court, but this was before she cheated on him.) But hasn't made the tax payments, which now rest on us to pay, I'm pretty much screwed.

Is there any other ways of making Money, i'm not looking for get rich quick, but it seems like This area is just dying, and jobs that do show up have so many people vying for them, that i'm like a fish in a sea of hundreds, and might as well not even be there compared to the other, more qualified people.

It's not like i Haven't tried to be upbeat about this either, I tried to put on the false confidence and Make myself appear to be more then i ws when applying and during interviews, but it always ends up the same, getting bullshitted by hiring managers, saying "Oh we haven't made a decision, We're still deciding." up to a month later. I mean, if you're not gonna fucking hire me, at least tell me so i can stop wasting my time with letters and phonecalls.

Other then that, I've had a few health problems as of late too. i busted my leg up pretty bad falling down some stairs, it's mostly healed now, but with no insurance, i can't even go to the doctors, and the emergency room is so filled with people here that trying to wait and get around there might as well be like putting off an entire day. We've barely got food in the house now, and bills are piling up. both me and my dad, and i'm not proud of this, maxed our credit cards just trying to get food to keep things going.

On top of this, our hot water tank Blew, so we can't even take hot showers or wash clothes or dishes properly. I have to boil the water (thankfully we're on a plan for heating and electric, so those don't cost us much)

I know this seems like more of a rant then a question, But i'm seriously wondering how i'm gonna get out of this hole i've been dug into. 3 years of retail seem useless around here, and i know Retail experience isn't the first thing every employer looks for, but i was top of the line customer service. in three years, i only ever got 2 complaints from customers, and that was from rowdy, angered ones who i had to ask to leave the store.

I've considered trying to get into a college somewhere, but i was stupid back in highschool, my grades weren't great. i'd be surprised if i could get a grant, let alone a loan to go to school with my credit now.
