Almost 26, stuck on a dead end job. What skill to learn?

I'm from eastern europe. I deliver food for a food app with my car. Been doing it for 4 years now, I'm 26. The pay is pretty good, but I feel like going nowhere. Recommend me some skills to learn to lead a better life. Preferably remote work. I tried to learn programming, but that stuff makes my dumbass brain hurt. I tried some aff marketing/dropshipping, didnt make a penny.

I don't really have any skills tbh.

Go to college and get a degree in accounting . Not too difficult math, no customer service, easy to get a job and great pay. You can also work remotely

Holocaust denial is illegal in over 18 countries. if an organized killing of jews happened so definitely, why would people need to serve prison sentences for questioning it?

A lot of people say learning to code/programming and such, but I feel like learning mechanic/plumbing and just using your hands and tools would be a great skill and you can even have it as a side job if you didn't want to go the full tradie route (srs)

Generic advice but sales is always good.

I've learned sometimes what's superior is a job that also helps you develop personally.

Sales is great for that.

Especially if you're bilingual OP.

Used to sell phones back in the day it was nice man worked with hot slots, had customers flirting, customers loved us because we'd always fix their phones.

Only thing I hated was the ***gy corporate aspect like lame paperwork and trying to force us to upsell customers via their gay little paperwork.
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.

Depends what you like to do. Work towards that.

A finance degree is good if you like math. You can get remote jobs if anything in business catches your eye, like supply chain.

Eastern europe where? Maybe you can teach some English. Or see if you can find an offshore oil rig to work on.

This is typically correct, but I am the motherfuking exception.

Rotted in retail until my mid 30s (was union, so not actually that bad as far as benefits and kinda pay goes) now make more than twice as much.

It is possible to make it whenever

Graduated college back in the day, but was just lazy and complacent. Started applying for real jobs because I told my dying grandmother that I wouldn’t squander her paying for my college chit.

Had an offer after a few interviews that I was unsure about, but went to work one day and it pissed me off, so I took their offer and now 3 moves later, I’m doing ok..

Definitely not baller, but am comfortable

Save a few grand. Take a Liquid Penetrant and magnetic particle NDT program. level 1 & 2 can be achieved at the same time. Join a union, make 35+$/hr for relatively low education and a low barrier to entry.
