If you already have an occupation, no matter how menial or unimportant as it may seem, be content with having something that many others do not. You have income and are a productive member of society; take heart!
Further enjoyment can be derived from innovation and cooperation. Even the lowliest job can be improved by finding ways to accomplish tasks more efficiently, or getting along with your fellows. If you are fortunate enough to share a good working relationship with your superior, ask for feedback. Discover and identify ways for upward mobility.
If you are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET), there is still hope. Immediately look for avenues for volunteering and self-employment. Whether it's spending time at an animal shelter, an elderly home, a soup kitchen, getting paid for surveys, writing stories/articles/reviews, driving Uber, tutoring, etc; you will accomplish two elements: getting out the house and filling a void in your job history.
You presumably have 2 hours of free time daily. Your "job" therefore is to spend these two hours in uninterrupted job/training/school search activity. Every week you should be applying to dozens of programs. Attend job fairs, temp agency hires, career counseling, and open houses.
To quote Dune again, "anything outside yourself, this you can see and apply your logic to it. But it's a human trait that when we encounter personal problems, those things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan. We tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual deep-seated thing that's actually chewing on us."
There's no negligible chance that if you're NEET, you're suffering from modern social malaise or mental illness. Seek treatment! If you had a broken limb, you would go to the doctor for correction and this is the same principle. Receiver whatever therapy, treatment, or medication and press on!
Likewise, with the Dune reference, recognize we all have blindspots. If you have applied for 100 jobs with no response, maybe you have a hidden flaw. It could be as simple as a glaring typographical error, an inappropriate phrasing, or social awkwardness. Thus, it is crucial to seek outside assistance to fix any issues with applying to jobs.
