no degree, no certifications... i'm like prob 6-9 hours shy of an associate's degree if I were to go back to school (just fyi)

currently trying to see about getting on at UPS as soon as I see something open up in my area.... benefits would be awesome for sure, so that's a big plus for me since i'm a single father... had thought about getting a CDL, but not rly wanting to drive an 18 wheeler but i know there's other options...

the local community college where i last attended has programs for HVAC, auto service, collision tech, CIS, drafting, health related, industrial tech, surveying, and welding... I mean, I was doing soldering (not sure how closely related this may or may not be to welding as far as similarities) at my most recent job but I was only making $16/hr

anyway...

thoughts? advice?

Do you live in a warm state?

HVAC; I had a guy drop out of college in our second year to do it & by the time I got out of school he was already a millionaire, I'm sure he's now retired in his 30's

Not typical but you can still easily clear 6 figures & have an extremely valuable skill set



CDL is high-demand, driving big trucks seems daunting but as long as you respect the weight you're hauling it's cake; great benefits & retire @ $100K+



Healthcare.. the highest of all demands; nothing really needs to be said

I work for the government. No transferable skills, no future, no care for the work I do, straight up LDAR except I make good money, pension, and tonnes of time off.

16/hr??

but but but i thought it was easy to make 100k a year on teh misc!


if you have no real interests/skills than youre just gonna be another working class pleb doing menial work. i would try to find some type of unionized factory job.

def a low value occupation but you can make a fortune in FL. they have huge waiting lists in the summer to get help.


brb haggle on price
brb wait another 5 days in your 90deg house for another estimate

If you're close to finishing your degree, do that. An Associates isn't worth much but it's better than not having a degree and going back to finish will only get harder as you get older.

You’re 36 and lost

What have u been doing this whole time

i mean, i live in arkansas so I guess? Lol depending on the seasonwas considering tbh... but i literally would be going into it completely and totally green. As in I know jack chit about it...that's gonna be a nah for me big dawganother for HVAC, yeah I'm def thinking it might not be a bad choice.... like at this point in life especially, I just keep thinking I need something like some type of skill that I can just hone in on and build a career and a future off ofdas it mane

Become a passport bro go to Asia somewhere and get a stable of girls to sell feet pics on OF.
