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.

Et sequi magnam et sint. In aspernatur fuga dolor beatae dolores sint et. Assumenda expedita veritatis porro est tempora odit.
