That is all...it just seems like im not qualified for anything decent, and all these jobs that are available, I have no interest in, so i know I'd do shitty. maybe I've got the wrong mindset? Any advice?

I've been in the automotive field before, but its kinda a cut throat industry from my experience..

Yeah the job market is harsh. Tons of overqualified people are out there making competition fierce... Really hard these days to have a stand-out resume... best jobs I've seen people get lately are through hook-ups from friends and family.

Change up game, get into some sort of apprenticeship, when I applied for elevators,hvac,electricans,etc. They were all juiced that I had previous mechanical experience.also look into a city or pg&e fleet mechanic position as well. If someone isn't hiring send your resume and a good cover letter, I have gotten job offers based on that. For ex: a company would be thinking of getting rid of someone etc. And I just happen to apply.
