I wish it were that simple.

How do I get a job while homeless? What would I do with my dog while I work 8 hours a day?

I struggle with normal jobs. I can't cope working jobs I dont like doing. It makes me depressed on top everything else.

You have some tough choices to make, that's for sure.. I have no experience with this so I might be talking rubbish. But you did say you have tattoo artist experience right? Why not try walking in to a tattoo place and offer your services? If you get the job, THEN you can start thinking about what to do about your dog. They might even be cool about it and let you keep the dog in the shop or just outside.

It makes most people depressed to do a job they don't like, frankly. Do it with a goal in mind - saving funds you might need for marketing your OS, cashing cheques so you can buy food, getting out of the tent.. etc. Accept it as a (hopefully) temporary situation, like a long layover between trips. I think you ought to be more realistic though.
