Moving out of parents house , with no steady income?

Question

a little context .. i live in a house with my dad , and older brother .. and i been getting frustrated not being able to call a place my own yet .. so my dad told me in a few months , the house hes been working on will be done , and i could move into it .. WHICH ! im sooo excited about ! (he has a few houses that he owns my other siblings live in) 

im trying to get ready to move down into that house within the next few months now .... only problem is .. i dont have a job ... ive looked and looked , soo many applications put in and never get a call back .. 

so i figured i would start doing my own thing , and seeing if i can get money from that ! 
im an artist (or so i like to say) and so i draw and paint . which i do make a little money off that ... not enough to pay bills though .. 

where im moving its a small little area ..... so i cant really do much for others when it comes to odd jobs .. 

ANYWAYS ! heres my question .... how to make enough cash to pay bills for my own place ? could i sell bake goods ? wood crafts ? .. art ? .. what do people like to buy ? 

my dad said he would help me pay the bills in the beginning till i was making enough money to pay bills , pay for food , and all that stuff .. but i wanna start saving as soon as possible , so he dont have to shovel out too much unless i really really need it !

Answer

I would say do whatever you are good at. If it's baking, bake things. If you're good at woodworking, sell your woodwork projects. 
If all else goes down in flames, try to join the military. I know that sounds like the last thing you want to do. But, you can develop a pretty steady income. An airman basic fresh out of basic training in the air force will make over $17,000 a year. The other branches are about the same. If you want more money, promote. Get higher in rank. 
There are ways for applying for an honorable discharge. In most branches, it'll go over pretty well. Just stay away from the marine corps. 

I suggest the air force. You have to be in a small criteria to even be considered to be a combat pilot. If you fall below that, there is little chance you will go into, or even see combat. 

Sorry for the long response. Hope this helps!

Well, find you what you're good at! Even something you feel good doing like art , cooking , engineering. My dad , at age 1 to my age of 24 where I moved out provided me with care and food. He specialized in technology and could fix any virus or code anything, but he wasn't successful until he realized his skill and love for what he did. Don't do things you'll regret or you don't feel is right , like cheating to get money  or cooking without love. I think you should do what you want and try several things to find out what's right for you. You could start a fourm , youtube account , organization , or sell stuff online ( craiglist , selling friendship bracelets and other things.) , or start out small  in the music industry with a voicing account. Or like how Martha Stewart went up , doing what she loved and starting out small from a small passion of love for cooking making small videos to a whole cooking show.  My father saw an add online and started to work there which he now works in with a steady amount of money to this day.
So when you find what you have a talent for or you like to do, pursue it! I'll do the same and so good luck! ( At marriage you'll be able to go steady with your partnership with firm foundations leading to kids and family , of course if you plan to be a unmarried person and have a firm job or a job well enough to live on you'll continue with firmer strength into your muddle and elder years. )
 Of course start out small , from a store clerk with ten dollars per hour into whatever job you want to pursue or work on. For now I recommend finding  a job as a clerk or doing handywork for your neighbors for a small sum of money and save up. I wish you the best.
