I think you need to take a step back... you are only 22, trust me life is only getting started and you most likely haven't faced your toughest moments yet.

In life it is important to have the right perspective as this shapes your attitude and attitude is everything.

I am 32 now but in around 2001 I was about your age and I had an associate degree(CS), but the job situation sucked. The unemployment rate back then was much lower than it is today....perspective.

I think you need to consider taking any job until you can get on your feet. When I was 22 I was working at a call center taking 50+ abusive phone calls everyday, as I stated above I already had an associate degree...so again adjust your attitude.

Lastly, you may have hung around HN long enough to get the vibe that college isn't necessary, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Peter Thiel may tell kids already on their way to Harvard, Stanford et al to drop out and start a company, that advice is the absolute worse advice for 99.9% of kids....again perspective shapes attitude and attitude determines outcome... seriously figure out a way to enroll in college and get a degree....

hope this helps.
