I'm kind of in the same boat. I haven't worked in over 10 years, but my disability benefits were taken away. I've applied for reconsideration and then appealed when that was denied because I can keep the benefits going while I wait for that to play out.

My current plan is to get a shit job just to have something to put on a resume. Places like fast food and convenience stores will hire anyone who has a pulse and can make change. Maybe you can try something like that? I'm trying to stay positive about it by telling myself it'll be temporary.

Sure, its not going to be the most paid or glamorous job, starter jobs won't pay for you to be on your own generally. I'd try for online using that 3dmodeling etc, lots of demand in it for 3dprinting and AI as others mentioned, that or something with data would be your most survival and first steps toward refreshing yourself time and self management wise.

Xthing there are no good singular survivable jobs, good jobs require connections that 99.99% of the populace lack and always will under capitalism. On reddit and shit you're seeing that .01 and a ton of bots, the most of us may as well be on Charon vs them the alienation is so vast. You're lucky to realize this, but still you have to survive in some way by their unfortunate fucked up and irrelevant rules. Those milestones are also not as universal as you think, so don't judge yourself harshly. Survival itself is a great feat under hell capitalism.

Its not lying. You've been a freelance 3d artist all this time, throw in all the ATS words. It checks out, you are a 3d artist by training, so why not? In my experience even for entry level jobs you can't have a blank resume, just use your education as one job and your warehousing as the other and it should be ok, not great but it will get you an interview or two at whatever entry level deals maybe. Interviews you don't need to lie, just youtube up common interview questions and practice your answers.

I feel you.

I'm 24 y/o now, and have never had a serious job interview in my life. The few jobs that I've had, I got through family connections, but I can't only rely on them (they're seasonal jobs).

So, I'm planning to do something like cashier at a local grocery store now. They hire students with no real background in the field, and that's just what I have. Also, I'm trying to get to do some voluntary work (homeless daycare organization). Let's see how it all turns out.
