true, there are actually quite a lot of $7-$10/hr now that are in desperate need of people, wont starve to death if you don't have much commitments.

problem with those jobs is that it does nothing good for the person in the long term

I tried many ways to frame or explain the situation but I think the interviewers most of time "killed me" on the spot, and after making a mark on their papers, proceed to eliminate me from the field.

Since I couldn't make the cut for so long, I wonder if I should continue to waste time doing what I am doing now.
