I know the experience isn't universal but I'm sure there are skills that can be taught, or learned for relatively low cost that can secure a job long enough to build some income.

Certificates, Trade School, or College are three options.

You could also use https://www.coursera.org/ too for free, or low cost.

I can't tell someone what to do but I can give insight.

I tend to ask Grok a lot of questions, and it helps me drastically reduce research times on topics but again Doing Your Own Research is probably the best thing to do before making any major decision in life!
