  OP here again. I have excellent references from past employers. My most recent position was not quite two years ago and it involved caring for a special needs child full time. I learned how to tube feed, communicate with a child that had limited language and I learned how to care for a child that had a multiple organ transplant. I know how to be on edge for signs of infection before a fever hits.  I have experience that agencies want. I have worked with premature babies, twins and exclusively for infant triplets. I have skills. :) We have six figures of debt from my DH's degrees and I can't afford to add to that. Some people take their ability to go to college for granted. It's not an option for me. I will hold certification in a field that does not require a college degree but pays well. I think I sound like a great catch overall. [/quote]

NP here.  The problem is that while you may have good skills for caregiver positions, your experience is not translatable to retail and service positions.  Also, places like upscale restaurants and bars are often looking for people with wait staff experience because they want people that can hit the ground running.  My honest suggestion, with no experience, that you have to start lower.  Look for places like Denny's, IHOP (the ones that are 24-hour, not the ones that close at midnight), or even allnight Walmart or supermarkets.  Get back in the work force first.  Get some retail and food industry experience.  Then in 6-12 months, you can look for better positions.  Even 6 months at a Denny's will significantly improve your chances at other jobs than walking in off the street for a first time wait staff job.
