Would you consider data entry part time? Some of those jobs pay decent and if it's part time there is less pressure to meet a lot of the productivity standards. Or a file clerk job? Something quiet, consistent, and pays decent? There are also a lot of temp positions out there. I am just saying, if money is really tight the best thing to do is start bringing money in.
I know what it's like to not have a lot. When I was 22 I was so broke and cried a lot worrying about money because I could barely find a job to get to support myself. I ended up moving back in with my parents which was awful, and I didn't graduate yet.
Just saying, employed people are more attractive to employers than unemployed people. Sad, but true.

I didn't discount working at Walgreens, LOL.  You're right that it is still money, even if it's peanuts. All I'm saying it's a waste to work there if one has a degree. I mean, who goes to college for years to work at Walgreens? I'm saying it's not one's life goal. Just a stepping stone.
Only good thing about it is that it shows you're employed.
I often wonder where this bias towards the unemployed comes from. How it got started? Somebody had to start it all. I just don't get it.
People are unemployed cause they got let go. And they stay that way unless somebody hires them. But employers don't get it. They are contributing to the problem.
Do they think the unemployed are all going to fall into some deep canyon or just disappear??? It has a ripple effect.
