Income potential without any real skills, qualifications, or degree?

A grown man 27-30 has no significant marketable skills(aside from some general retail experience), qualifications, or a degree. He also has no notable talents, and no particularly noteworthy level of financial sense or business acumen.

What is the likely the most money he can realistically make?

There are certain things you can get certified in fairly quickly and start working if you are an able-bodied person that's willing to work.

Dead end? Bro, you know how many people make 50k now? Not to many.

So be thankful bro that you have a job. Just look for the positive, not negative.

I dunno brah, according to the misc I’m poverty AF. According to demographic data, I’m on the low end of average for my age group. I’m definitely grateful for an income, not necessarily for being a wagie tho. It’s had negative effects on my well-being.

Hell nah. I used to work at a call center and it was the most miserable job I’ve ever had. I would rather live in a cardboard box under a bridge than ever do that again and I’m being 100% ded fkin srs.

Currently I’m basically an auditor, not for the feds, but for a corporation. I make sure their internal finances are in good order, so that’s typing up reports, communicating with vendors via email, occasionally paying invoices, etc. It’s boring as chit. On the bright side I get left alone to work independently most of the day.

Misc thinks 100 mill is poverty which is. MOst miscers need to get on my level since I bank a cool 100 mill every day. But that is besides the point.

In actual reality, it is good comfortable amount.

sign up for night classes at your local community college, and get some cheap certifications under your belt. Even if your pursue something and you hate it, you can always add the experience to your resume as a new skill set and try something else.

There are a ton of non-technical jobs out there that you can fit into just nicely when you’re sub-100 IQ. Can definitely make up to 200k or more too.

Tradie job.

Without money you may have to do it for a tradie business.

Just look for small businesses that could use your help.

Immediately or 10 years down the road?

The military pays about $50k per year to new enlistees (depending on location), with the potential to double it in 10 years.

The sky is the limit. He could do well in sales, turn around and invest that properly in the stock market and come out with a fortune. Or...he could lose everything. Your wealth isn't directly related to effort or skills. But that can be encouraging if you have no skills and want to put in no effort lol.

There is no limit. Things like education and skillsets dont matter if you get the right job and grease the right wheels. Seen it dozens of times.

I know some welders that make pretty good money who started off by sweeping the floors and delivering materials.

It's probably not the route I'd go, but if you're willing to put in the work to become a skilled welder you could build your own BBQ grill.

Are you smart/good at taking tests?

If you're medically qualified go talk to an Army/Air Force recruiter and take the ASVAB. If you score decently enough then you will have an assortment of jobs to choose from. Just choose a job that will teach you a highly sought after skill/certificate and do the least amount of years. After you do your 3-4 years in the military then you'll be trained in whatever skill you picked, and have a resume to go with it. Many companies out there also have veteran preference when it comes to hiring.

To have the most control over which job you'll do then go with the Army, because I don't think the Air Force gives you the choice like the Army does.

It's kind of weird that you're recommending the military as a stepping stone, since you claim to have been in the military, but are still a complete loser now.

I guess you used it a stepping down stone.

Why not just go to university? Being without a degree and good education just severely limits you in terms of vocational paths and earning potentials.
Back off, Warchild.
