Second this, childcare especially since it pays well and there isn’t an expectation of medical knowledge like with elder care.

OP, what is your situation? One second you’re saying “if” then “when.” First off, start by only paying minimum on any debt. You should be in survival mode right now.

If you can’t land something design try a grocery store, Amazon delivery, or maybe a Census worker. I had a friend just get hired on for the latter and although temp, $17.50/hr is better than nothing.

Maybe use any additional free time you have to learn a new skill (coding, UX design, video editing, maybe a new language, etc.)

$17.50 is what I'm making now😅

Good luck OP. My current attitude is: if government is going to shut down the economy my student loans and rent are not getting paid.

If they demand I tighten my belt, they can do the same.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
