you don't think it might be easier to get out of poverty/minimum wage job than out of homelessness?

I worked 6 months with 2 days off during that span. I know you are just trying to help, I'm just frustrated.

But, deep down, I'll be homeless before I work minimum wage again. You don't get out of poverty. Employers see that and don't think you are capable of more. What sucks is I have such awesome references. Two of the hospital directors have told me to use them as references. But, no one calls. If it takes being homeless, than that is what it takes.
