Selling off your collection...

[Kitsune Sniper]

Have you considered moving? If you can't even get a janitor type job where you live, which is pretty low on the menial work rung to begin with, you should consider it.

See that part about being almost broke. I have $6 to my name right now.

Kitsune, move to Florida. We NEED Spanish translators until the country has fully been taken over by Spanish speakers...in which case, your English translation skills will come in handy

In all seriousness, I grew up in South Florida and Spanish has now been fully integrated as a second language. Even street signs are starting to have both languages...
Every company is looking for an English-Spanish speaker in order to harness that sector of the business.

I almost landed a job in Washington a few years back, but I was turned down because I can't speak properly and tend to get nervous when talking to people. Which is funny because the job involved nothing but WRITING AND TRANSLATING WRITTEN TEXT.

You probably already do this, but keep your eye out for job postings online from around the country. If you're qualified enough they'll pay to relocate you. My current job came about because of an online application, followed by a phone interview. That went well enough that the company flew me out for an in-person interview, and then in the end paid me to relocate.

And for what it's worth, I'd sell my collection in a heartbeat if I needed money. I would keep a few sentimental pieces here and there, but most of it could easily be reacquired.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
