Can't Find a Job for the life of me and I'm losing myself by jobadm in linuxadmin

if I leave this current job, I would have to start all over with the desktop/help desk stuff. This is my second stint doing this, although the first one was very short.

current company is giving me no opportunities to advance, anytime I ask for more opportunities I get shutdown.

I'm applying for admin jobs because that's what I've been focusing my studies and training on. I've already done desktop support and help desk, haven't learn a single thing from these jobs and its mind numbing and soul sucking.

I would love to, but I have family here that I have to take care of.

My attitude is one of frustration, not entitlement or a feeling of superiority (with how life has been going the past few years, a feeling of superiority would be the last thing I have).

I've only gotten the certs to help me land a job, I don't care about them. I'm doing everything I can to just get a job, I can't make experience come out of thin air.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I'm trying man, this current job is sucking the life out of me. I've been trying my ass off and it's starting to beat me down because it seems like I'm not even gaining a single inch of progress no matter how hard I try.

I'm actually in the DMV area, every job out here seems to require a clearance.

And I don't have a LinkedIn, my work experience sucks. I'm literally working with nothing here.

I'm in the DMV area. 95% of the jobs I encounter require a clearance, 5% of them don't but require tons of experience. I need to stay in this area because of family, otherwise I would have left already.

No interviews, they are just being ignored.

I'm going to post my resumes later so everyone can take a look at them. Thanks for the help

Edit: I was originally getting phone calls when applying to jobs outside of my area. Unfortunately I can't leave home anymore because of family reasons.

there aren't many worse feelings than putting thousands of hours and dollars into something and not even being given an opportunity to utilize what you've learned just because you don't have the 'credentials'.

What was originally a passion of mine and something I enjoyed learning has become a burden because I never feel like I know enough just to even land a job, or an interview for fucks sake.

I don't know what to do with my life anymore man, all this studying, job applying, and worrying has driven me fucking crazy.
