Thanks for the suggestion.

The only issue is that I'm an old man. Doing physical labor will wear on me instantly. I don't know SEO, but I can make the entire application a business needs ( I have AWS certs). I'm studying to get project management certification so I can do management stuff. The min wage job I mentioned is a customer service role.

I see. Tree trimming is definitely out then! Other hustles are less demanding, but may be too much or not depending entirely on your health and vigor. I was shocked to hear how much another friend made trimming rose bushes in swanky neighborhoods, still physical but easy compared to trees.

Good on you for being open to ideas though. It is hella tough to stay mentally flexible under sustained unemployment stress, right at the time when lateral thinking is what is needed.

Best of luck to you, I hope you can keep body and soul together
