In my state Starbucks pays over $15 an hour. It’s nice you have options to not have work to support yourself and/or your family while looking for your dream job but not all of us have that option. While working for $3 less an hour you can still look a better job. Are you really pounding the pavement 24/7 to look for jobs? There’s absolutely no downtime at all?

I live in New England, and tons of jobs are available without qualification that starts at $15 here, specifically retail because of the holiday season. Honestly if you’re young and want a career I’d suggest even a city or government entry position just to get in. You’ll get raises every year and adjustments for inflation, great benefits and a pension. You may start low, around what you were making before but you will double what you make in a a few years.
