Im struggling a bit I have been pulled over 3 times driving on a suspended license and have finally gave up driving. The only reason I was driving was because the distance I had 2 drive to work every day. I have asked about a occupational limited license and was told I cant get one. Im having a hard time finding a good job and the one I have im on the verge of losing because its so hard for me to get back and fourth. If I lose my job I will end up in jail due to child support. Is there any way possible or any hope in fighting this and getting atleast a license so I can go 2 and from work or would I just be wasting my time? Any help with this would be great.

Here's a nugget from the above link:

....
If you are currently, or about to be suspended for any of these violations, you are not eligible for an OLL:
3345 - Passing a school bus
1533 or 6146 - Failure to respond to a citation
3367 - Racing on highways
1543 - Driving while suspended
(possible exceptions)
3732 - Homicide by Vehicle
1547 - Refusal to submit to chemical testing (possible exceptions)
3733 - Fleeing a Police Officer
1786 - Failure to maintain financial responsibility
3734 - Driving without lights
ARD ordered suspension for DUI
3735 - Homicide by Vehicle/DUI
Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act Violations
3736 - Reckless Driving

(possible exceptions)
3742 - Accidents involving death or injury
Any serious traffic offense
3743 - Leaving scene of an accident
Any violations relating to accidents and accident reports

prior DUI offense within the past ten years, have served 12 months of
the 18 month suspension, have satisfied all restoration requirements, and have the ignition interlock installed on your vehicle.

I'd suggest that you start looking into alternative transportation options, such as carpooling or public transportation (bus, train, bicycle).

As has been stated previously, choices have consequences. Your license was suspended because you chose not to follow the law. Your continued disregard for said laws and driving on a suspended license - and getting caught doing so - only exacerbated an already tenuous situation.

Quit. Just quit lying. You drove because you wanted to do so. You drove because you didn't care about the law. You drove because you didn't care your license was suspended. You drove because you didn't care about anyone else. Now you want people to feel sorry that your bad choices have caught up to you? Actions have consequences. Yours definitely do.

I'd say that if you got caught driving three times then you're probably a pretty bad driver to begin with. Maybe it's better for you and society if you're not behind the wheel.
