What jobs are you looking for?
Any time I have been unemployed it has never been for long and I live on a small(ish) island of 80,000 people.
Are you discounting certain lower paid jobs?

Kind regards

Hello thank you, im looking for internet jobs, i think people discriminate me thats why i cant have a normal job. My past job was with my family bussiness but due to unsecurity i had to leave it. Maybe coding may works i was thinking of it before.
For many reasons is a long story one of them is that, i have gay looking. Maybe low testosterone or karma is the cause. And other reason is that people discriminate people that takes pills for sleep in a really hard way. They are really harsh.

How you look is somewhat adjustable. But your pill taking is no-one elses business so they would only know if you told them.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

I remember you writing about your work at the family business. That sounds like the ideal job. You still have bosses, but they are (probably) your parents, so will be more forgiving when you make a mistake. Just because they are family, you still have to do your duties and still have to take orders from them. Don't take them for granted and just do that, in my opinion.

i'd look to get back into the family business. Blood is thicker than water and it's better to rely on family as your boss as opposed to some stranger. I've often wished, especially when i was younger, that my parents owned a business.
