Glad you have come to your senses. Us gamers have to stick together in times like these.
Now about your unemployment problem. That might be easier to fix than you think.
1. You see all those office buildings, schools, government buildings etc.? They were used to working in offices and suddenly they have to work remotely.
But these are mostly people that can't even open a PDF jack. They need help with video conferencing, video editing and everything else related to WFH or video.
Most of them didn't even know ZOOM existed before COVID-19 hit. If you land something like this at the government you get all the full protections and retirement benefits too.
2. How do we do marketing when we can't hand out flyers and shit? Social media? But how does that work?
Well you're an expert in social media friend. You might not feel like it but these people can't change their banner or avatar picture and I'm sure you can.
You know about Photoshop and Premiere, just download a bunch of
templates from the internet to edit. WOW, you are amazing.
I can't believe how good you are with graphic design. Advertising? The Facebook/Instagram AI basically does that for you. You could be like Brad Parscale.
3. Learn to code. I'm not even kidding, learn to code and get paid. This is the lifehack my friend. You see all those fancy colleges suck and most coders they hire suck or don't have any social skills so they can't work in teams.
Large companies such as banks and software firms have decided to just hire a bunch of people instead, see what the level of their skills is and if they aren't yet good enough (and none of them are) train them themselves.
Learn the absolute minimum on some kind of code academy tutorial website and that's your ticket to a free quality education and a company car. If you fail, oh well at least you got paid 6 - 12 months.
Don't want to code, no problem! Look into something called 'Mendix' a no-code solution because there are so few quality coders companies are switching to that instead.
Open a LinkedIn, follow some people, add 'Coder', 'Software Engineer' or 'Programmer' or whatever to your profile and you will be stalked by armies of recruiters within a week.
I think about 36% of Dutch companies are searching for IT people right now. And that was before COVID-19 hit.
