How do you get connections with no money?

I have no friends and not great at making friends. No matter how many certifications I get no one seems interested in hiring me. Most people I know moved away after graduation. Most people I known who got a job got it from a friend. I usually make friends at HS but since HS everyone graduated. As well as that in HS every friend with a job said I was a loser for not being able to find one. My hobbies are mostly things I can do by myself. Since most of my life I was told to shut the hell up and leave everyone alone. So how do you build a network?

    Don't think you are to good to take a low paying job. You will build up a work history. You can look for a better job even while working. You will meet people at work. I quit school after the 9'th grade and own my own business. I make 6 figures a year or sometimes a little less. Don't worry to much babout friends they don't cost much.

    You gotta make a resume and start putting those suckers out everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's a low paying job, money is money and you'll be surprised at how meaningful work becomes when you get your first pay check.

    I got out of high school and took a job as a waitress. Then I started work at a lobster plant, picking meat out of lobster claws and cleaning lobster tails for 10-14 hours a day. I was making minimum wage at both jobs (which is 10$ in my province) and I hated both of them. I did that for a year, then went to college and became a Nurse. My starting wage is now 23$, but only two years ago I was making 10$.

    So basically, work your way up. You gotta start off small, maybe get one or two minimum wage jobs, and search for a job you'd really enjoy or that pays well. Working minimum wage jobs will give you an appreciation for the jobs you will eventually get, and will help teach you what you don't want to do for the rest of your life.

    Maybe it's time to be your own boss?
