Or, perhaps you can find a retraining assistance program for any of a number of jobs from the government on the state or local level. Construction is a little slow now in many areas in the housing side, but it's a zero investment job and you may actually be able to find day laborer work temporarily until a lead comes along for full time work. There are jobs out there, only a matter of time until you find one IF you are looking. Good luck (and hard work).
