Desperately hoping this is sarcasm, but in case it isn't, I have applied for over 350 jobs in my field and gotten zero offers. I'm trying like hell to get to work but employers will not take me. If it were that simple, I'd be working.
To clarify, by
I really meant that I can't even find unpaid internships, training programs, or any way to participate in my field unless I literally start from scratch by myself.
You should look at yourself and try to understand why no one wants to hire you.
No one wants to hire me because (1) I don't have the experience they're looking for, (2) I have zero people in my network, and (3) I don't have the social skills to overcome all the other negatives. It's very simple. The problem is that overcoming these 3 items simultaneously has proven to be almost impossible.
I don't know which jobs you're looking at, but the thing is that many jobs require problem solving skills. And it seems you have none. Sadly, it's completely up to you to acquire them.

Lmao I have problem-solving skills out the wazoo, and I have projects and hobbies to show it. But it's never enough to overcome my lack of a network and general weirdness.
