I graduated in May with my associates degree, and sadly after applying a bit nothing, not even a reply email. I am convinced I am just unprepared for this industry, I will admit I don't have a GitHub with 1 billion contributions, and a bunch of connections. but can I seriously get nothing. I can't afford the 25K needed for my bachelors. I am honestly considering put in my applications to target or whatever and giving up.
All things considered I doubt I will have time for that, I need a few min wage jobs just to live, do you really think I have time go do unpaid internships
I'd recommend taking another pass at marketing agencies. Of the 4 I worked for, 2 were fully remote, and 1 was hybrid.
If you're web savvy, you'll likely be building and maintaining WordPress sites. Other responsibilities might be working on integrations to help CRM (Customer Realationship Management) software connect with other platforms. There could be other stuff to do, but my time in agencies was mostly stuff like that.

I have actually maintained a linux server for years, to run my websites, and various things in docker however I kinda see it as undocumented experience given I kinda just have done this silently over the years
It's experience. There's no such thing as undocumented experience. Training yourself to see your experiences as valid in an of themselves is a process, one I've struggled with myself; but, it's really important as it's expected that from employers that you're not filtering out expertise you have because it "wasn't professional enough" or whatever. Running a Plex server for friends to stream from is valid experience and worth considering if you're building out time ranges on your resume (eg. N years of experience with $technology)
