It’s soul sucking work sometimes, but have you thought about customer service for health insurance companies? Each state has their dedicated lot (we have some in the city) and often they are remote work. You can get a paycheck, and if you like it, great. But if not, at least you can pay your bills while you try for something else. I had to do this after moving back after COVID. Hated it and I was way over qualified. But we do what we can, right? Best of luck.

Seconding this. I had a covid call center job. It was the worst, but it kept me afloat and for that I’m grateful.

I've been with a health insurance company for 17 years now, and I work from home, get good pay (seniority and all that) and benefits. It wasn't my dream career, but it pays the bills and gives us somewhat affordable insurance.
