You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.
Clean farming, medical (complete, mental/physical, many choices).
Look into the trades.
Rock solid employability, especially if you're competent in self-employment.
You get to experience, 1st-hand, middle-class & upper-middle-class prejudice/contempt/denigration-programming, too
( which is useful karmically: many of us are unconsciously-wired to buy-into class-system-based-"validity"/status,
and facing into karma, or, as Yehoshua "Jesus" benJoseph said the same thing, "taking up one's cross", as a means of destroying the unconscious-ignorances that undermine our Eternities/Souls/CellsOfGod in THEIR evolution is strategically wise, see?
I don't want my Soul/ChildOfGod EVER getting caught in some life due to its unconsciousness, ever again!
Rip the unconsciousness-rule "strategy" right out from the ground, you know?
I needed 7y of outright-homelessness to finally crack my unconscious-mind's sticking-to-class-prejudice,
and I still haven't ripped out all of the remnants,
but the core of it cracked a decade ago, and my life is free-er as a result, the Eternity I'm just a little participant in, is no longer "stuck on a rock, in the rapids" of Eternity/karma...
Facing into karma, as a means of freeing one's Soul can be immensely empowering.
Also, smart tradespeople outcompete many, being able to make/earn their economic-autonomy much quicker than the "professional" rat-race/treadmill people do.
( partly that has to do with a good trade ticket taking only 1-2y, whereas a 4y university-degree is .. worthless, economically, worse, it is tons-of-debt. )
