I've had zero luck in getting a real job with serious pay for years now, so I contacted a government job finding service as a last resort. They agreed to help and I agreed to take an initial appointment with them to determine if I needed their services. Waited a month on that. At the appointment, we both agreed that this could help me. Wait two more months for them to appoint a psychologist to give me a cognitive assessment to determine which jobs would be a good fit for me (standard procedure. They deal with mental retards most of the time, you know). Wait four months. Take the cognitive test; another month of waiting, and today they gave me the results over the phone. Occupations they recommend for me based off of the sections of the test I excelled at are: medical IT, radiology assistant, network administrator, and some other IT position I don't remember.
NONE OF THESE POSITIONS ARE HIRING
When I told the woman over the phone that I've looked at all of these, some with solid credentials and certifications, and found that they were impossible to get into from the entry level regardless of amount of certifications or prior experience in high school, she turned quiet and accepted and acknowledged that this is a common problem for people they engage with. Nothing for autistic people is hiring. She didn't really have an answer for helping me find a position at something else I'm good at that is fucking hiring and just offered for me to take a physical course on ??? to help me find something else I'd be good at that probably doesn't exist.
And yes, I currently have a job. It just doesn't pay enough to enable me to do anything with it. I can either pay for LLM API usage or have a car and pay car insurance. I don't have the money for both.
