I understand that feeling extremely well anon, but you have to push through it. Even if it's moving from a trash job to a less trashy job.
My employment progression (since 16, 23 now) went something like:
>Goodwill Cashier: Minimum
>Goodwill ADC (donations): Minimum
>Sprouts Grocery Clerk: $9.00
>Sprouts Dairy Assistant Supervisor $9.45
>Student Activist (same time as supervisor): Gas Expenses and $200/semester budget
<Turned down a picker puller position for $13/hour because couldn't work with school schedule
<Dropped out of Uni MechE/Aerospace minor
<Started Electronics Technician "AAS" (trade school)
>Wal-Mart Cashier: $10.00 (paid better than Sprouts as an assistant supervisor)
<Turned down a job as both a supervisor ($13.00) and as a manufacturing assistant at Bal Seal Engineering ($10.50 + mandatory overtime) during this time
>Sam's Club Cart Pusher/Gas Attendant: $10.50
>PCB Manufacturing: $10.75 (won't name them since it's a small company)
<Earned degree but can't claim it or I'll lose my private scholarships
<Only a handful of electrical certifications that I was able to claim without losing scholarships
I'm getting my CISCO and Solidworks certs this year and going into the Navy. I've probably been turned down for over 50 manufacturing/technician positions in the last six months alone, but I keep pushing forward regardless. Once I'm out of the Navy (guaranteed to go in as an E3), I'll be able to get technician jobs paying $15 on the low end and $25/hour on average. If I really feel like risking my life, I can go work for a doping facility (diode production) bringing in about $120k/year on an associates degree. Eventually that "big break" comes if you keep looking. See PDF related.
If you're American, see https://discoverpraxis.com I know the CEO and "graduates" of the program, it's pretty damn useful considering your position.
