GUY WORKING WHILE STUDYING PART TIME – IF WORK, CAN’T STUDY. IF STUDY, CAN’T WORK

Chances of getting an office job with zero qualifications? Specifically in the Admin/HR/Accounting line, but I’d take anything I can get.
I’m currently working full time retail while pursuing a part time degree. Lately it’s been getting harder and harder for me to balance my classes and my work as I’m working full 11 hour shifts. In essence, whenever I’m scheduled to work, it essentially locks me out of doing whatever else on that day, be it finishing my school work/projects or attending classes in general.
Until I’m able to graduate, at the moment I’m setting my sights on a normal 8.30am to 5.30pm office job as it allows me to attend my classes normally, which are always in the evening, and having 2 guaranteed days off on the weekends to do my schoolwork and fulfill real life obligations. More than anything though, I just want to get out of retail. The huge caveat to this is that I have literal zero qualifications for jobs like these as all my prior qualifications have to do with art, designing, or retail.
Most jobs I’ve been browsing on sites like jobstreet do expect a diploma qualification at the minimum even for entry level positions. I haven’t begun sending my resume and portfolio yet but I just want to get some insights for now, because if this doesn’t pan out, I will need to think of a Plan B. Thanks!
Tldr; Looking to transition from retail into a entry level 8.30am to 5.30pm office job in admin/HR/accounting with zero qualifications while pursuing a part time degree. What are my chances of landing jobs like these? And are there any tips to enhance my chances?

switch to part time rate take the pay cut. nobody absolutely nobody will employ an entry level person doing a course outside at the start if employment....singapore culture expect you to OT during the first 6 months to learn stuff even old timers do not get time off and go of on time...else why lawrence wing even bother to start giving training allowance so that people go take course

Since you don't have any experience in clerical field, you can only take up junior post. Just throw in your resume whatever you deem suitable to you. Not difficult to get 1 provided you are not too choosy. Good luck to you. 🙏🏻
