As someone who spent some time homeless this entire comment is bullshit haha

I also spent time homeless. Being broke fucking sucks, and it is hard to get out of. I was very lucky to do so and I know that.

But once you're already employed, switching jobs just isn't that hard.

That's never been my experience, I work in retail so it can be tricky when you're going up against thousands of other applicants and they usually don't require experience.

What do you do for work?

Interesting, I've definitely gone months applying for jobs and not hearing back for interviews or anything. I suppose location and sheer luck has a bit to do with it as well.
