If I have no references I can use at 24, am I just doomed to never be able to get a minimum wage job?
Bump.
I'm really worried, I've applied to every shitty job in the area
Ever tried lying anon?
Use edx to get certtificates skills that are appealing, then lie saying you spent your more recent years developing your skills and are applying now so you can hone them.
Do some volunteer work or be an intern. If you walk into some little locally owned shop and say you will work for free in exchange for references and experience then there is a good chance they will take you on.
Or just go to a job shop or ask the local government to give you a job.

Use teachers as refrences.
