I've spent the last five months applying to every job in town. I can't even get a bad job. I'm weeks away from homelessness. What can I do?
Post Body

I live alone in an apartment in the poorer side of Melbourne, Florida. I have a degree (but only an Associate's) in computer programming and information technology. I have prior work experience in data entry and warehouse work. I have no vehicle and my parents never taught me how to drive, so I can only reasonably commute to jobs that I can get to on foot, bike, or bus. I switched from applying to jobs that would be a good fit to just applying for literally anything. I've applied to every single job listing I can find on Indeed with tailored resumes that use the keywords from the job listings. I've paid money to have my resume fixed up multiple times. Still never gets seen. I've called every establishment in a six mile radius to ask if they're hiring. Only had a couple interviews at places that require no experience and offer shit pay. Never heard back from any of them. Rent just got increased again. Energy bills going up every single month even though I'm using less. I haven't bought groceries in months and I barely eat anything to save money. I already lost 15 pounds. It's not nearly enough to improve my financial situation, I'm still going to be homeless in a month if I don't get a decent job or a couple bad jobs very soon.

Is there anything I can do?

Lots of places will accept anyone with a degree, Google your stateโ€™s requirements
