My family's finances are getting incredibly tight, since we can't depend on our grandparent's money anymore and my mom only has a part-time job that can't even cover 1/4th of what we spend to live on, so I've tried seeing what I can do to help. I can't find a good entry-level part-time OR full-time job right now, and my Etsy business is a joke. Nobody even sees what I do, let alone buys it.

I really have no idea what to do, and the situation keeps getting more and more dire. I feel like just going to workforce services and telling them I give up, and tell me what to do, because I have no #&%&(! clue. I hate customer service jobs, but data entry type jobs are rarely ever entry-level.

I'm in the same boat, recently been signed off from work with no sick pay - could apply for a job but self-esteem has hit rock bottom, it's like my whole life and wellbeing depends on being in work - it's crap

What is your Etsy business? Just wondering if it can be enhanced by some type of work.
Don't be afraid to take a crappy job knowing it is temporary as you continue to search.
Workforce services is not a terrible idea either....
Hang in there, I know it gets ugly at times. Let us know how you do.
