Hired at an insurance agency?
If as a sales agent on straight commission, ugh! Been there, done that. You bust your butt 60+ hours per week and earn negative income. I don’t mean zero income, I mean negative. IOW, you’re paying to work.
You can easily spend more money out of your own pocket than you earn. I’d take minimum wage clerking at the dollar store before insurance sales.

It’s one of the few honest ones where you don’t buy leads or pay ‘expenses’ per month or do a ‘project 100’ where you are supposed to hand over names/numbers/addresses for the place to have for free. And a lot of people were just sacked from there for not working at all - nice opportunity for someone with a work ethic.

I have tried min-wage job applications, believe me. Dozens of them. I have recieved no response partially because applicants are hitting the mid-high HUNDREDS for each position. You’re literally down to cheap lottery ticket chances of even an interview let alone an offer.

The hardest part is my parents and relatives keep refusing my offer to come sort through momentos and possessions for anything that has happy memories or could be useful, insisting things will someday, somehow be better and they JUST saw a “now hiring” (which should have the w replaced with a t) at XYZ business. Guess they’ll have to sort through the pile at the curb...
