Having trouble finding unskilled labor job

I have a sort of Marxist bent, but I need job. I would like to avoid what Marx refers to as "the fetishism of commodities", but I have no problem working a low wage job again. I have no problem being "exploited", thus I actually wouldn't call it this, as Marx might have.
I just want to have my own peace of mind, no oppuratunities of fetish or superficiality. Minimum wage would satisfy me. I just want to simply work, and get payed for what i do.
If this is not descriptive enough the actually criterion I am looking for:
At the end of the day the work I have done is seen simply in terms of substance. Job accomplished or job not accomplished. Another good one would be any work that is quantifiable - where my static pay parallels "how much" work I have literally done.
Or a job where I just have to "keep up", and there is no other responsibility. Co-workers, team work, shared responsibility in general is something I would like to avoid. I am ok being around other workers but I do not want to share responsibilities.
basically need to keep qualitative constructs out of the mix. I do not want to serve consumers directly.
I do not want to have to state references of any kind, besides my education, and I don't want to use "connections" to find this job. I don't want to refer to the last job I worked, and I have no other experience than this. I have a highschool education am currently working on a degree.
Really, what I am looking for is 'unskilled labor job' but I noticed that none of those job sites like monster or career builder do not offer selection based on this criteria for some reason, so I am having a hell of a time finding one.
I don't know where to look, because I am very ignorant of the economy/society.
Before I worked in a grocery store, and I quit because I began feel superficial. This is not my issue though, this is given. My issue is finding a job. I live in the boonies, but I also live close to some large towns. Can anybody tell me where or how to find a job that is kind of like this?

With that long list of criteria I think you'll have a lot of trouble finding someone to work for. Farm hand maybe?
Why not work for yourself? Search the net and find a craft you appreciate that doesn't need a lot of equipment. Start producing, mastering your art.
You could also find an independent craftsman of some kind, a leatherworker or woodworker or anyone else whose work you like. Tell him you love his work and will work for peanuts if he teaches you everything he knows. Be an apprentice.
If you are bent on avoiding customers and collaborators, you are severely limiting your options. The world is all about people. I think you would have a lot to gain by reconsidering your attitude towards teamwork. There is nothing like working alongside dedicated people.

Yeah I know the perfect one that is always hiring. UPS part-time package handler. You get full time benefits and they give you $3,000 a year for college tuition free. And a .50 cent raise every 6 months I think
It's unskilled labor and you usually are just by your self loading trucks or scanning packages.
