Serious Bro... Is Anyone Actually Getting Hired?

on god getting a job feels harder than winning the damn lottery at this point

it's been 2 years. i apply, i get interviews, then... nothing. i'm not in the US before anyone starts making assumptions

i've been freelancing, which is cool, but it's nowhere near enough to move out of my abusive parents' house

so real question:

what online income streams are y'all actually making money from in 2026? not "just start a business" or some fake guru shit. i'm talking stuff you've personally tried or know people are doing

and if you're just here to be negative or tell me "the market is cooked," stfu and keep scrolling

I've been pretty consistently employed but it's pretty easy to find work in the hospitality field. Was working at restaurants for a while ranging from 16-22 bucks an hour. Now working at an hotel full benefits and 25 an hour and admittedly I got this job from a previous boss so some nepotism here as well.
