I have tried everything(airlines, air taxi, para dropping, tug etc etc)
Do you mean you've tried applying or that you've actually done these types of work?

Many air taxi pilots (myself included) are leaving for airline jobs. I suspect that if you have 120hrs multi and 100hrs IFR you'll be snapped up, regardless of age or background. Even if you don't have 700hrs tt there are operators who have exemptions to allow pilots to fly on their AOC with 400hrs tt.

Getting jobs in GA is all about knocking on doors and getting your face known. Age, exam results etc are not important provided you turn up at the right place at the right time, have the basic qualifications for the job and make a good first impression. So if you've not got something then maybe you're not trying hard enough!
