Apparently there were alot of homeless and unemployed people going to Williston, ND and being sent back to where they came from because of the horrible weather, and the lack of housing.

Just a suggestion to apply for work as a resident manager of some sort... perhaps for persons with disabilities? Or as a live-in caregiver? Or nanny? Don't know if you might have interest, OP... sending thoughts and prayers.

Just because you can't find a white collar job doesn't mean it's over. Go to family restaurants and ask if they are hiring.

These jobs do not hire anymore. I tried too. That's what you holier than thou Hannity lovers have to understand!

Why don't you take your judgmental attitude and improper presumptions, and go **** *** ***** **** ****.
Don't say you're a failure. If you view yourself this way, then employers might also see that. You're just someone who has hit a rough spot. We have all hit them from time to time. Even the "holier than thou people" on this thread. Life has its ups and downs. Just remember, you're at the bottom right now and it can only get better.

I'm just not made to own a business. May be I'll try again when I think of a better strategy.

Not all small businesses truly create jobs. In some, they do but many don't beyond the business creator themselves. Plus not everyone is cut out to be their own boss whether it is financial management, the skills or managing the company at all.

Yeah. I would love to have my own business, but I don't know the first thing.

OP, I tried to read through the pages but did you share your major? Maybe someone who is in your field can react? Remember that many jobs are also available through networking.

Good luck in your search, hopefully you will find a position soon.

I will require forgiveness from my student loan debts, which are well over $100,000 by now. I've been paying them down, but I will no longer be able to do this since you did not hire me. I will require tens of thousands of dollars per year in assistance to give me shelter because you wouldn't provide me a chance to be able to pay my own bills. Despite using your facilities, bathrooms, grocery stores, government buildings, small businesses, I will now only be draining from you instead of providing profits to these establishments and contributing to the wages of workers who build these places and feed themselves and sustain their livelihoods. Instead of contributing to building the economy, I am now forced to become a drain on it, using many many tens of thousands of dollars to feed me, house me, transport me, provide mental and physical health care to me, and eventually you, yes you the taxpayer, will be forced to pay to bury or cremate me after I die or get killed in the streets.
I swear this is what every unemployed person in America has told themselves at some point. The conservatives are too busy bashing people for being poor and having to rely on assistance, that they miss the calls of people begging to be productive members of society. Shame.
