Fuking lost in life

27 years old still working a dead-end retail job. I still live with family, have no skills, and no idea wtf career to even pursue.

I went to college for art for a semester and then dropped out when the pandemic started. Drawing is really the closest thing to a passion I've ever had, so I have no idea what career path to pursue. Was thinking about web development or something, but I don't even know about that.

Tired of being a broke loser. Just looking for some advice or some chit idk.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Pick up graphic design + could always also learn to code if you feel like it

Every day's a new day brah you never know what's gonna happen, just pick something and start hammering at it

Don't compare yourself to people unless it's for motivation, most people just look like they have their chit together and a nice % of those probably think about roping themselves once a week

Opie you need to sit down and really decide what kind of path you want in life(maybe not something your passionate about like art) but something that's financially stable

Then search the relevant courses that you can enlist in that help you to prosper and eventually it will be your career long-term and you'll be able to finance a family & chit srs

Just thinking of a few ideas which might be helpful brah, since you mention that you like drawing you should commission some of your art online, why not stream or make YouTube videos of you drawing... people like that aesthetic and relaxing ****, think of Bob Ross but less cool

Everyone is lost at that age. Just work, lift and do what you can. When the world gets you down you lose. So don’t be a loser keep your head high and keep working on yourself

Some options:

-go back to school and take it very seriously, aim to really master of whatever you're studying
-trade school
-make a "padded" resume with some lies sprinkled in, make sure it looks professional, and spam apply for better jobs (unethical, but many won't check your references and/or you can use friends as references)
-since you like to draw, try to get in with an art crowd and go full hipster (meaning get a social circle which could lead to opportunities for you)
-quit job and just start walking with no destination in mind (full forrest gump), become a hobo

This lot is the last group of people I'd confess this to. Most are only here to bring others down to make themselves feel better.

i honestly do recommend a trade. union apprenticeship if possible

but at least you won't have debt to pay off. you can still go to school after. but you'll be looking at pluses for a while instead of minuses

and you'll most likely have skills that can get you a job anywhere. serious

some unions are international organizations that allow you to easily move between locals

Bro I was in the same boat as you a few years ago. I spent the last 25k I had and put in all into starting a small business.

Changed my life. Just make sure you have savings to take advantage of any opportunities. Keep your mind open, srs.

Trades are a great option as well. If you are a smart guy you can scale that into owning your own business someday.

And not a single response from OP was seen that day...
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow.

I’d strongly consider a union trade job based on what I’ve seen my brother quickly achieve in that world. Stash money away while maybe also working on graphic design skills with a possible aim to transition to that later.
