Hey, Reddit. I'm in a bit of a pickle.
To make things short and sweet, my life fell apart in April/May of this year. Got left(?) and had to move (went to a different state) because it was his place, worked a shitty call center, got a slightly better call-center job full-time, still couldn't afford where I was living (RV park/Renting the RV on the west coast). I had to move, so I ended up back in my home state. Now I'm here, with $5k to my name, living out of an extended-stay motel.
So, I'm trying to get into efficiency apartments, applying everywhere (especially warehouses, I've done warehouse work but I'm tiny and have been passed on before due to sitting at about 102lbs,5ft), and eating pretty much exclusively tuna and ramen to save money. I've been going blind for the past few years (early 20s, but have a severe eye disease that's incurable, but under treatment), so I can't drive and walk everywhere, but I can walk for several miles and am in a relatively walkable city. I feel like I don't have a lot of time because paying for even a cheap extended stay is pretty expensive, and $5k isn't a lot of money.
What would your recommendations be to make myself more appealing to jobs? Or jobs I could look into without a formal education/driver's license? I want to go to trade school but can't afford it, are there any common apprenticeships (plumbing, welding, etc?) that a young-20's woman could look into? How can I make myself more appealing to apartments?
Thanks!
