Well I've worked at all kinds of places when I was dirt poor, a dollar store, Domino's pizza, working tables, pouring drinks.. this was only in a small town to make ends meet. If you're in a city, guaranteed there is more opportunity. Do what you can to make ends meet.

OP said s/he was down to his last $10. Hopefully he's stretching it to make it last, because he hasn't answered any suggestions about temp work, labor pool, or doing various odd jobs.

The job market is terrific, for those with skills.

You are looking for a welding position? I just looked on indeed and there were 15K positions. Welders are one of the highest demand jobs.

Can you give us more information about your skills, education, something so we know more about you?

The military would be a great option as well.

What do you look like? If you are a slob, stink, wear rumpled clothes, are over 40, are obese, have a bad attitude, etc. experience won't matter. No one will want to work with you everyday.

A friend's unemployed son walked into a family-owned diner, spoke with mgr, offered to clean up after closing to earn some money. They liked him and hired him 15 hrs a week. He's looking for.sonething better/full time but meanwhile it's better than being broke.

OP, apparently that type work is beneath you. Oh, well.
