I would go to Labor Ready they open at 5am or 6am, and have coffee and I think wifi. Most days they won't have a job for you but when they do, that's $60-70 paid at the end of the day cash. When they don't have a job for you, you'll know by 8:30 and can head over PSU campus they should have open wifi, I would study Python and write a project and put it on github. And start an account on Upwork and start bidding at $1 over what labor ready pays (minimum wage), work your butt off -- go the extra extra mile for every client, get 5 star ratings. It'll take 3 weeks to get paid from them. Meanwhile, labor ready, PSU, hard boiled eggs and coffee at the shelter. After you get some ratings on upwork, increase your rate to $40-60/hr. The whole time I would be sending out 5-10 resumes a day. Also there is a bank near labor ready I think wells fargo or US bank, open account and use that for bank transfers from upwork. You can go from zero to hero in 3 months if you do this, this is what I did (and I wasn't poor, just bored and wanted a challenge :)
