I hate to be that guy but you might be viewing those previous college days with rose tinted glasses. However, I do see where you're coming from. For some such as myself, those days were spent working menial jobs for minimum wage to afford abhortently expensive international student tuition. While that sounds bleak, and yes working 30 hours while studying full time was, those coworker relationships ( besides the ex haha) at those part time jobs turned out to be very fulfilling. After managing to find a full time dev job I found things a lot more dull especially since most of my post work time is spent trying to reach find a better full time job as you have already. My suggestion would be to find a part time retail job, the shared struggle with other employees will be hugely beneficial to making connections. If you have questions feel free to shoot me an email.
