So as you know if you have been paying attention to my dramatic ass for the past seven or so years. I have been looking for a job.

This was previously exclusively in the summer since I ultimately went to community college, however I quit it in January 2026 in hopes to join the military.

Buuut health stuff happened, and I am likely to be unfortunately disqualified at worst, and at best, I am on hiatus for months on end. due to immediate issues,

So finally in my mid 20s: I am back to square one. I am not looking for money. I am looking for a way to achieve independence.

I have vision issues such as double vision, myopia, nystagmus, etc. which disqualifies me from a lot of jobs apparently.

My home life isn't too great. Let's just leave it at that.

Since I attended community college, I have gained a fair amount of people skills due to my major. However that somehow didn't land even land me in the front door of anywhere. I took a career and life planning class, applied those concepts and at best got hit with "You're overqualified." and at worst "You're underqualified."

Oh, and if you are wondering about jobs I tried with my major, I did indeed find one. It's a social science. I learned many group dynamics and stuff. I retained the skills too as I use it everyday. Basically, I am very patient with people and face to face communication.

On the other hand though, the field I was going to be in is demanding and quite frankly: confusing. Not to mention the worst for your mental health and it has a timeline which you gotta follow.

Given how slow I am at progressing, I decided that field isn't happening for me despite how naturally gifted I am.

So that's just perfect.

I am in the US. At this point, I am feeling kinda hopeless not gonna lie. I know it's not the best strategy. That would probably be networking-which I don't have.

I tried actively searching, reaching out with emails and phone calls, literally walking in and asking about a job, researching the companies, doing all that stuff. And yet...I have a 100% failure rate.

Some crazy stuff right there.

So any practical advice for getting a job?
