In this day and age just about every larger city and town has a place where you drop off old electronics for recycling.  I know this because there is an old window air conditioner sitting on my garage floor that I will be taking to my local recycler at the first opportunity.  Perhaps you should see who does that in your town and see if they are hiring.
The area where I live it's done through the county downside they only outsource the work with inmates from the county jail. Luckily Nashville is only like an hour north :)

Now that I figured out some potential jobs I now need to figure out a living situation. This is where it gets real complicated I can't necessarily apply any jobs right now and then move out due to living with parents that are currently expecting me to go to school and get a teaching degree that will cause a major conflict that I don't want part of. Fact is I have to be moved out before I can even start the process of getting a job and I have potentially nowhere I can stay temporary either none of my friends are in position to let me stay and I definitely don't have enough rent money to stay longer than a month. And to put myself in another bad spot I have no transportation of my own and I'm really in no position of being able to get my driver's license either(long story).

This is where I am more clueless than ever on what to do. Could vocational rehab help with this kind of situation that's about the only social service I'm probably eligible for. I do wish the circumstance was better where I could get a job first then settle in somewhere but the way my living situation is there's no way around it.

Bit of a long shot you could contact LGBT homeless charities or just LGBT charities or groups in general and ask if they could ask around for you to see if anyone is looking for a roommate. Many LGBT people have been in the situation you're in currently so will most likely be sympathetic towards you not having enough rent money.
They/them pronouns preferred.

Hopefully they can provide some help or at least lead to the path of getting help.

Also, thanks to a great friend on here, I do have a go fund me set up with hopes of getting donations for a safety net. If it ever reaches the goal I'll be able to afford to pay a years rent in advance while having enough left over to cover basic needs and start hrt all while I work on the goal of getting a job.
