What would you do if you were 25yo with no degree nor job? srs

That's me right now, I made alot of bad choices during my teen and late teen years, I didnt know what I reallywantedto do because I wasnt passionate enough about anything, and so I ended up doing nothing, except becoming very good at graphic design(but with no certificate or anything to attest it)

I have family in the U.S. and might go there and get a job there for a while since one of the few things I have going for me is my english, but I dont know how strict your immigration policies are right now, I suppose very strict, and also I also have double citizenship Italian and Swiss, so I might go there, but my dilemma is, to do what??

What would you do if you were me?

I am pretty down right now brahs, I cant handle my situation anymore, and my indecisiveness is eating me from inside, feels like life is slipping by and this is my last chance to get a grip on it before I end up one morning staring at a 50 years old guy in the mirror who never did anything with his life

Super existential, thread is super srs

I would say learn to build websites, apply your "superior" graphic design skills and apply for jobs/freelance stuff until you can land a job and try figuring life out from there. That being said I heard that job market is hyper saturated so you'd actually have to be good at what you do. Only reason I mention it is because you can use your graphic design skills as leverage in a job interview.

If you need money in the meantime find a construction/moving job. Yeah its physical labor but it will keep a roof over your head while you figure things out.
If any of you need to chat, PM me. I'm here for you boyos.

This. Or consider enlisting. 25 isn't super young, but you're not too old for either option.

You don't need certs if you're good at that stuff. Instead find work here and there and build a portfolio. If you want to hustle just find people with shtty website and reach out to them letting them know you could redesign their image, logo, site for $XXXX. Boom.

Warehouses are always hiring. There are a lot of jobs that only require a high school diploma and a willingness to actually show up and pass a drug test. This is how most people get job experience starting out.

If I were single and had no ties I'd probably try my best to work as a flight attendant or something that would let me travel. Brb traveling the world, meeting new people, seeing new cultures, eating new foods, etc.

Or else commit yourself to school (but only if there's a job you really want/would make lots of money that requires it). 25 is plenty young to go to school. Just don't do it if you have no direction with it. Then you'll be 29, jobless, and in debt.

I'd enroll at the nearest reputable community college in some sort or IT degree, most likely web or software development. Possibly database management. I'd make that my #1 priority and learn all I could. (Its easy to get 4.0s if you actually care). In year 2 I'd start padding the sh*t out of my resume and look into local tech jobs.. small businesses are sometimes looking for web developers or IT people.

Learn how to have a great job interview and apply to job after job. Impress them with your personality and convince them you're a hard worker with skills, and what you don't know you will learn. A lot of companies will give you a chance if you're upfront about something.

This won't be a great job paywise but you have to look at it as learning and resume padding for your future jobs. If you get hired (keep trying and you will), keep learning and taking classes. Sometimes employers will even pay for your classes if they think its good for them.

Consider transferring to a 4 year program.

Rinse and repeat every couple of years for better positions and better benefits and suddenly you're a real life adult with a career

There's money to be made in Switzerland. Make some money, save it, and retire in the United States when you're 40. I don't know what to tell you really other than the money you make in Switzerland will go a lot further in the United States.

Sure but OP had no degree. I guess it's quite difficult to start a business in europe rather than america
