I wouldn't wait another day. I would call vocational rehabilitation in your state and ask for help.

You were raised right for sure. My parents wanted me to go to college, but they also never really taught me much of anything. Again, do parents usually teach their kids these life skills, or do most people learn these things on their own? I'm really curious to know this!
They also thought that I'd be fine once I got married. Ugh! Money is tight now, so school will have to wait. I'll have to work trying harder to find a job. What places will hire me though with my record? It seems like no one will give me a chance, ugh!
As I already stated, even Target, Safeway, and Ulta turned me down. I can't even get a minimum wage job, ugh! It's not like I'm a felon, but I might as well be one!
What kind of jobs can I get that don't require a lot of heavy lifting (I have back issues), minimum social interaction (as I have social anxiety and am shy), hardly any computer skills (I can type fairly fast, but I don't know about Excel or stuff like that), and is decent paying?
So because of that, a lot is off the table for me. I could go back to customer service work as I can talk to people on the phone just fine. Or do light office work that doesn't require much computer experience. If I can find a place that's willing to train me, then great.
I can start researching stuff on line to find out how to do most things, and I'll start asking my husband how to do more this and that pretty soon. Even when it comes to how to fix things. He told me that I'll must mess things up, so he never bothers to show me anything, ugh.
I've become way to dependent on him for to much, and I need to stop that, I know. I can look around at temp places for now since I don't even know if we'll be still be here a few months from now. This sucks. I wish that someone would give me a break.
Does anyone have any good ideas for at work at home job that doesn't' require any money for start up? No pyramid schemes, Avon, or anything like that please! And the worst ones are those so called mystery jobs and jewelry making scams that require you to pay money for their crap packages.
I'm good at writing and a fairly fast typer. So that'd be great if I could find something like that or some house sitting or pet sitting job as I love working alone and I like most animals. I'm scared of big aggressive dogs though. I can also run errands for people. That'd be better in a way as I'd be kind of scared of going to a strangers house alone.
I'd appreciate any advice on how I can find these jobs and who will be willing to hire me given my background and the fact that I have zero experience with pet sitting and house sitting work. It can't be that hard though, right? Maybe I can just put out and ad on craigslist and see what happens?
