You keep getting your weekly check, as long as it last. You do your best job with a positive attitude. And if they pay you 2 bucks so be it. What will this do for you is to provide other door of opportunity to be opened.
If I'm sitting in my office and some one comes in dressed and looking presentable and offers to wash my car or any number of jobs I don't like to do. And they say's Just pay me what its worth to you. On some points, I might think oh this is going to be a sloppy job. I'll just give them a couple of bucks. But if I see they do a great job I might pay them 20 bucks. And tell them to come back in two week to wash the car again. And if there that much of a go getter. I might hire them to work in my company because they are showing a attitude that would show value to me.
In the short term it gets you a few bucks in your pocket. In the long term you open possible connections that could land you your next full time job. Provide good service people hardly notice. Provide great service, people fight to get you back.
Please take this as kind motivating advice as I intend it to be. I know it not easy for you now. But the saying goes “when the going get tough the tough get going. Prays and blessing to you. Peace
That's a good idea! It would help me stay in shape too! I also checked into traveling jobs (especially for RV'ers) and there are tons of job listings for positions in campgrounds, where they expect you to come and go, a lot of seasonal stuff too.

I checked into newer RV's (used but they're still around the $20,000 range), I'm thinking something like that will be more efficient and trustworthy than an old $2000 one, because I want this to last me for many years. But I can't get a loan for one unless I have a job, so, I guess my plan is stuck until I can get a job.
