    You need schooling for Lowes or Home Depot? You said they don't hire based on experience, yet later you say they said you don't have enough experience.

    What about Costco, I hear they pay pretty well?

    If you aren't getting hits, your resume sucks, probably either the formatting or content or both.

    Costco employees always seem so happy. Polar opposite of my impression of Sam's Club employees.

    I won't sugar coat this so here it is.

    Temp companies will hire you on the spot pretty much.
    Swallow your pride and put your ego to the side. Work the minimum wage job until you find something better.

    Get your Marijuana workers permit and get a job doing anything related to weed.

    It’s not just jobs at dispensaries or farms.

    You can work for wholesalers or processors. I know multiple people that work for wholesalers and they just go around getting contracts, and basically buying weed products from processors and farms, and then selling them to dispensaries.

    And I know a lot of people that just roll joints and stuff for like 15 an hour.

    Bullshit.
    My wife has a 2016 Honda CRV in the driveway but takes max/bus more than she drives to work.
    Location makes that convenient, but still....

    If you want it, you put your pride aside my friend.

    those aren't homeless people...those are lazy people faking homelessness ..I know the local ones here by name...been scamming for many many years and don't want a job....no desire to get sober and clean up... many have a roof over their heads...real homeless people are the ones not smoking expensive cigarettes and hanging out with well fed dogs

    You are paying $700 for a truck that I reasonably assume gets less than average to poor gas mileage.

    And you are bitching about not being able to make enough money to cover your gas?

    Serious first world problems there....

    Just saying. You are talking to a guy who worked two jobs for part of his life and then 50-60 hours a week for another 10+ years do get to be able to drive around new vehicles and own more than one home, but I don't put myself above those who have less. I know people who have worked just as hard as I but just not with the right company, or had bad breaks that causes them to be set back.

    Just because you are poor doesn't mean you aren't a hard working, honest respectable person.

    And I was born in the woods with no doctor and grew up basically trailer trash until high school.
