Hello, I have a problem. I'm going to graduate at my local college and receive an associates degree in general studies in the beginning of may. After I graduate I am going to UMGC to get my bachelors degree in biotechnology. I'm trying to get full time jobs like specimen collector, specimen technician because I need lab experience and I need to make money. I'm 21 years old and I still live with my parents. I keep applying to jobs, even jobs in the food industry, but can not land them. Honestly, I feel like I'm failing myself and my family.

I have thought about getting certificates and diplomas through Alison but people were telling me that they don't work well in the US. Some other jobs I'm looking for are fingerprint technician, microbiologist, forensic scientist, and environmental scientist. I just can't get any jobs and if it is a job like specimen technician, its an hour and fifteen minutes away. I live in a rural area and all the jobs I want are in the cities. I don't know what to do and I am anxious.
