d.o.a., there are some jobs you can do from home without any education for it. A job I tried once was making illustrations for children's books. It didn't work for me back then - I was too young and I didn't stick with the job. Is there anything you are good at? Can you draw or write columns?

You can apply for open positions, that's one option. Another option is just pick a potential workplace and contact them directly and ask them whether they would have a job for you. If you are good at writing try contacting the local news papers. I got my current job just by asking, but it took me many tries. The worst thing that will happen is that they will say "Sorry, we are not hiring".

I don't know about you, but I find having a job as a huge self-esteem booster. Right now I am on sick leave and I am feeling bad because most of the people around me seem fine with their jobs. I am very worried that I will not recover soon enough and that I will lose my job.
