DoctorLiverslide's journey

I’m 17 years old and have been searching for a job for the past two years without any luck. I’ve applied to almost everything I can find, but I haven’t even gotten a single interview. I’m feeling really anxious because I want to go to university, but I know I won’t be able to afford it without a job. I’ve been told that once I turn 18, I’ll have to start paying rent, which adds even more pressure since I currently don’t have any income. I don’t think my CV is the issue; I’ve sought out advice and made improvements. I’ve also been volunteering at a charity shop for the past year, working in the stockroom and on the till, which I thought would help me gain some experience. Despite all my efforts, I’m not getting any responses. My parents are starting to criticize me, saying it shouldn’t be this hard to find a job, which is really disheartening. I’m looking for any advice on how to improve my chances of getting hired. I’m also a creative person who enjoys making animations and digital art, so if anyone knows of platforms where I could potentially earn money through my artistic skills, I’d appreciate that too. I’m feeling desperate and just want to save up for my future and have a chance at university.
