Yeah, honestly at this point, I'll be content working a couple permanent, steady-paying work at home jobs for the rest of my life. As long as I can live comfortably & enjoy some of life's pleasures, like traveling.

That was me in 2009.. 2 Masters Degrees plus NO experience.. it took 8 months of pulling 50 hour weeks of job searching to land something.

Do no proceed any further without any relevant work experience.. even if it's an internship, it's better than nothing.

It also doesn't help that I have social phobia and any job that requires constantly working with other people is almost impossible for me.

Tough it out! When you've unemployed for 8 months and scraping by to live on $1000 a month (in a high cost of living area: Silicon Valley at the time) and are down to your last $2000, any relatively minor phobia that gets in the way of a job search magically goes away.

Psychology is the dumbest major in existence, I know this because I endured it for 1 semester as one and came to my senses and graduated with a finance degree. You are right, its among the most useless.

I'm convinced you've never had to deal with a mental health issue.

Then you wouldn't be so ignorant to say "tough it out" like that works.

You've already proven yourself to be ignorant so you're really not even worth discussing anything with.
