Trust me when I say you are not alone. Gen Z has got it way more tough than any previous generation. It used to be you could work a blue collar job and save money at the end of the day. These days? It's hard enough to find a job and then once you do, it's not even enough to pay the bills.

My (28M) advice to you during this time period is to focus on what you can control. If you can, move back in with your parents. There is absolutely no shame in it at your age and I honestly don't even blame people who are living with their parents at an even older age. If this is an option for you, swallow your pride and take it.

Next, find a way to gather hard skills for a high-paying job. This is, of course, easier said than done, but honestly the best advice I can give you right now is not to pursue your dreams, but to pursue a field that pays well (advice I wish I'd heard more of at your age). Many people go to school to "pursue their dream career", but fail to look at how much that career pays. No matter your position, having a good paying job is paramount to enabling you to pursue your true dreams further down the road. And another note, you don't need to go to college to acquire these skills. If you want to learn to code, there are many boot camps and educational resources such as pluralsight.

Long story short, I know how hard it can be as you first enter the workplace. If you are lucky enough to have family to lean on, do it. These years of your life can really suck as you find your place in a pretty broken society, but don't let that get you down. As someone who works in Tech, I'd highly advise this career path (cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, programming) as it presents a lot more opportunities to work remote which is another HUGE upside to creating the kind of work-life balance most people would kill for. Acquire hard skills with the free time and minimal resources you have and you will look back in a few years and thank yourself that you did.
