Anyone can tell you to go fill out an application at Starbucks, but I'm guessing you came here for something more. Could you give us a bit more information about your situation? For example: Are you in a small college town in the middle of nowhere, a medium sized city, or a huge city? Do you have a car or access to reliable public transportation? Do you qualify for programs like work study that give you a leg up on school jobs? Can you give us your major or a general idea of what your major is? Have you ever worked a job anywhere, no matter how small or "silly"?

You could try applying to bullshit data entry jobs - just play up your ability to learn new computer programs. Have you done any volunteering beyond a random hour/afternoon once a year? Do you have any hobbies (not gaming) that involve doing stuff with other people? Those could also help. I was an accounting assistant at my university when I was still in school. I believe my only qualification was being a math major, which made me "good with numbers", and the money was just booze and party money. When I graduated in 2008 my original career path crashed and burned with the global economy, but I was able to use the accounting experience to get my foot into a company doing some real basic accounting work. I've since moved up to being company controller, all thanks to some bullshit part time accounting job in college. If you can't get a paid position doing animation work, try getting experience that could be used for a backup plan if things fall to poo poo later on in your life. So much dumb poo poo happens to all of us - it's never a bad idea to have backup skills.
