What qualifications or formal evidence of training do you have to get jobs that are not menial in nature? Do you have any degrees or certificates or anything?
A growing trend now is vocational certificates. They don't take as long as getting a degree, but you go and get some specific training and you get a certificate showing that you're qualified for a job. It seems like it's a great way to get your foot in the door in different fields that might hold more long-term financial promise for you.
One bit of career advice that I'm often foisting on people is to ignore the cute saying of "don't do something 8 hours a day that you don't love". The optimal goal is not to seek happiness for 8 hours a day. The optimal goal is to be happy for 24 hours a day. Find a job that will make you happiest for 24 hours a day (e.g., paying bills, saving money, funding vacations, etc.), even if it's not fun or sexy.
