Thanks for the replies guys

Billie, I wouldn't be opposed to doing any of that just for some income for now, but I don't know how I would advertise myself. Not to mention most of those positions are filled right now with the swelling immigrant population in NY. Off the books they will do 3 hours of work for 15 dollars, I just don't know if I could stomach getting paid so little. I have considered volunteering but I'm at the point where I don't have much, if any, disposable income. Even driving there every day would be money I can't afford to pay.

Rohag, I can't really think of any ways I can actually change the way I'm going about this unfortunately. The society we've built has left us little options. You work, or you starve. I've hit up every job website you can possibly imagine, newspaper, job fairs. The only thing I have left is to consider moving away for work. I really, really don't want to do that, but it really may be my only choice left.

Lone, the pavement pounding was something I actually enjoyed my first time around. Now, it's just frustration after frustration. I really hope that you have better luck, and don't get stuck in this situation. Thanks a lot for your support
