I'm feeling really lost as I try to figure out how to land my first job. I had a serious back and pelvis injury when I was 14, and now at 20, I'm struggling to make ends meet. I've been volunteering a couple of times a month since I was 17, but my SSDI isn't covering my living expenses anymore due to rising rent and cuts in benefits. Living in a small city limits my job options significantly. The only places hiring seem to be fast-food spots like Waffle House or retail stores like Lowe's, and from what I've read, many of these jobs come with more downsides than upsides. I'm also concerned about my physical limitations. I can manage about 3 hours of volunteering, which often leaves me exhausted and in pain. I know I need a part-time job or something like an internship, but I'm not sure how many hours I can realistically work. I've considered work-from-home options, but I'm not a programmer and I'm worried about the pay not being enough to cover my expenses. It's really urgent for me to find something soon because of my medical bills. Any advice or leads would be greatly appreciated!
