Default If I lose my job ...

My employment record pretty much goes something like this:

1. 18 Yrs. Old - Bank Teller; Abandoned job after nine months (I was a kid who didn't know any better)
2. 18 Yrs. - Temp Filing Clerk; Completed two-week assignment, then got offered job #3
3. 18 - 21 Yrs. - Bank Teller; Left on a very positive note to pursue higher education and try an opportunity as a legal assistant
4. 21 Yrs. - Legal Assistant; Resigned (effective immediately) after one month because the responsibility was more than I could handle during school
5. 21 - 23 Yrs. - Private Music Instructor; Dropped out of school during this time (wrong major) and eventually went out of business on account of the economy
6. 22 Yrs. - Co-Owned/Managed Successful eBay Business; Sold my stake after six months---too much stress
7. 23 Yrs. - Temp Data Entry Clerk; Resigned (effective immediately) after several weeks due to lack of transportation (car died, no bus routes)
8. 23 Yrs. - Present (24 Yrs.) - Temp Financial Analyst; I may get fired soon for medical reasons (OCD getting in the way of work)

Given my location (just outside NYC) and my history, do you think it will be difficult for me to find new work if I am laid off? By new work, I mean anything that will pay the rent---even retail.
