job recommendations?

hello hoping my fellow houstonians could help me find a job! i’m 23 and didn’t go to college after high school, worked in retail for some years and just recently quit working at a bbq restaurant after 3 years and i’m feeling hopeless because I would like to go to college but what’s the point when you don’t know what you want to do and don’t want to be in debt in the end. I have been applying to grocery stores and some restaurants and have been rejected. I was thinking maybe someone out there can help??
