I feel for you anon
I usually dont mention this bc I dont want people to know about it, but maybe you should look into becoming a merchant mariner
you can just apply for a TWIC and an MMC and start applying for jobs, you can find more info in the sticky of the maritime general thread (/mg/) on >>>/n/
you work half the year, either 2 weeks on 2weeks off up to 6 months off 6 months off depending on the type of vessel
alternatively you could become an oil rig floorhand, I believe they work similar 2/2 or 4/4 schedules but I dont know anything about it

Im kind of in a similar spot and hoping that becoming a merchant mariner works out and gives me enough free time to /makeit/ in finance

1. Civil rights law makes it illegal to do IQ testing and makes it so that companies must hire minorities and women
2. Increased working population means more competition. Women entering the workforce being the biggest factor, but now immigration (especially of "skilled" H1B visa workers) makes the job market hypercompetitive
3. (largely as a result of 1) HR departments have to come to dominate companies and hiring and strictly enforce civil rights regime discrimination
4. Companies keep job openings up even if they dont plan to fill those positions
