how to live here as an american, find a job to keep me busy

Welcome on board 🤗

Remote jobs are difficult to find and most people working six days a week.

But it depends mostly who you know who can introduce you to the manager...

You could try messaging businesses directly via WhatsApp or do it the old school way of going door-to-door asking for employment.

Try places that either deal with foreign clients directly or indirectly (a plus if the clients speak English). This will automatically give you a skill that they need.
