It really seems like currently you have to be self-employed or an entrepreneur to actually be making any money right now

Like I have not heard anything back from any of the jobs I have been applying for except maybe once for rejection and another time they emailed me that they were interested but then never ever replied back to anything Seems like I have to go the self employed route. Also it seems like a lot of jobs are not matching with the rapid inflation so I might actually make more money being self employed. Tired of jobs not answering back
