At 2 years laid off, I turned down the only job offer I got. I am tired of jobs that damage me

After 3 straight terrible sales jobs since 2019, I promised myself that I wouldn't subject myself to that again. I was a great sales pro in my 30s. I never loved it. Now at 60, I am tired of it. I got out of sales in my 40s and promised myself that I would never do it again but I was laid off and ended up taking what I could get. That was the mistake because I have not been able to get out of sales jobs since. I am not good anymore because I hate it so much and I have been going from bad to worse companies.
I had an offer for the lowest pay that I ever had. I would have to call on residential maintenance people - I figure that means more dryfronts and anchor babies than I want to deal with on a daily basis. It also means wearing out my old car to do the job - at least my last job gave me a company car and it was the worst job with the worst company (Johnson Controls) that I ever had the misfortune to be associated with.
They offered me a job after a 30 minute phone call - sight unseen. They didn't give me a whole 24 hours to answer so I was suspicious even though it was a Fortune 500 company (Lowes)

The worst part is I am not sure that I will ever get any kind of real offer again...for once, I went with my heart and not my head but I may have chosen the worst time to do that.

What are my chances of ever getting anything decent to get to social security age?
