What Should I Study? (Srs) I am confused.

So basically..
I have never been to college and I have wasted a lot of time because I was comfortable working lazy security work for sht pay.
I have no debt and can get a good loan because family and I are poor and I have to support myself.

I am not good with tools and thats not something I am interested in.

I basically was raised spending most of my days on computers so doing something related to that seems like a good idea.
Another interesting/fun course I was looking into was firefighting training but not sure if that would lead to an actual job.

Anyone have any advices?

thanks

Imagine if having 36k posts on an internet forum in 8 years you actually took the time to learn something?

hard pick OP. I would say stay away from Arts and Crafts (Arts and Science) and go business (every field has an administrative side so I view it as the most flexible degree) but idk how it is in America and Misc seems really gunhoe on IT/programming chit so you will probably just get a lot of that in this thread
I know nothing factual but only tell the truth

Based on the information you provided it sounds like you're lazy and don't really care about a career, but you just want to earn more. I think Cybersecurity or general IT work in the public sector may suit you.

What are your top 5 skills. Which of these pays the best.

For example mine are

Preaching
Programming
Teaching
Customer Service
Tech Work

Programming pays way more than the other 4 so I do that for a living and the others on the side for the joy of it.

College takes so much time and money. If I had to do it over I would probably do a poverty technical school or tradie school

college isn't worth it if you don't have a set STEM path or something that will net you good money in the long run.

tech and coding is going to be in even greater demand as the years go by.

Data Science , AI , Machine Learning , Blockchain technology and IoT are some pretty niche subsets you may want to look into.

I'm an engineer, so I rot in a cube all day listening to middle aged people blab about pointless chit. Tbh I wouldn't enjoy being a tradie either though, I was just talking from a purely financial standpoint

Can never go wrong with STEM

All others you MIGHT find a job in your degree. STEM you are damn near guaranteed, and it doesn't have to be within your degree to get a good job. Even jobs that have traditionally hired business type degrees are looking at STEM grads.

Yeah man my advice is do something you’re good at, not something you want to do.

Read the book “so good they can’t ignore you” it’ll help you out a lot man.

I think you should consider some technical courses whose time period is short.

You could consider studying many areas depending on your interests and career goals. If you have some basic knowledge of computers, learning to program can be a great way to expand your skills. You could start with a general-purpose language like Python, which is easy to learn and widely used in many fields.
