Got any hobbies that result in creation of stuff that might be saleable? Any talents/desires in those directions?
What sort of payscale level can you live with? Some entry-level jobs have modest advancement potential and train you off the street; thinking supermarket cashier, for example.
IMNSDHO the food service and retail arenas devalue the worker to such a degree I'd avoid them except as last resorts.

I could never go back to retail. Worked at Blockbuster for a bit and at my appraisal my boss told me how pleased he was with me - except that for the fact that I obviously didn't like customers.
And he was right.

A couple of large banks have headquarters up here, and hire entry-level positions in things like import/export money transfers; people who get such jobs begin with a 4.5-month training program, and only need such qualifications as being comfortable with computers and having moderate typing skills.
Similarly Met Life has a big local presence and hires claims handlers, or whatever phone people are called there.
Just some local examples; corporate headquarters presences generate a lot of clerical staff jobs that I imagine don't require much by way of initial skills sets. Assuming starting off the street with zero credentials limits the imagination somewhat.
There's a local organization called Working Solutions that specializes in matching job seekers with likely employers--and does it for free (non-profit, funded by grants). Something like that would be golden for you, methinks, if you can find such.

You know, there was a time when I wore dresses and combat boots and I believe someone said the very same thing to me. Why did I ever stop?

well, that will only work if the movie makes it's goal....you'll have to see it 20 times opening week...and what am i to do for food until filming begins?
Actually, Succatash gave me an idea I'm mulling over now. Yeah, i figure i'll hit all the banks, maybe I could be the dorky girl at the front desk for some IT company. If I don't find anything soon, i'll sign up with a temp agency I guess.
