Unable to find a job anywhere in finance or even as a retail sales associate

I am a 28 year old male with diagnosed Aspergers Syndrome. Now I have my theories concerning Aspergers Syndrome and astrology, but I digress.

What I really need is an entry level job with a degree of dignity. I can't even seem to find a job as a retail sales associate. I have 10+ years of retail sales experience, and all of my bets are returning incredulous amounts of capital. I just don't have any money to make bets. I don't even have a regular old job. 30+ applications sent out, and not a single call back.

I don't know what to do anymore. The market is moving at an incredulous acceleration, and I can't keep up because I don't even have money to go to school. All of my credit cards are maxed out, and all of my disposable income is going towards paying off a loan.

I'm really stuck, and I'm really smart, but none of my knowledge or abilities seem to matter anymore.
