So how about a side hustle in the meantime? Tutoring college students who are stuck doing courses online? Writing a guide for students that you could sell online? Even something that only brings in a couple hundred bucks a month could be very helpful in the future.

I know right now is a lousy time to apply for a new job, but down the line, what industries would your skills transfer to? Executive secretary? Business? Technical writing? What could you be doing now to train for such jobs - brushing up certain computer skills?
