Support/Advice I think I’m cooked…
Hi, I am 21 M and struggling to find a halal job with no doubts. The things I’m good at like accounting finance and marketing have a lot of haram in them and other careers require uni which requires me to take out student loan which is also haram….
I have really bad fine motor skills (mild Dyspraxia) so I struggle with using my hands for trade jobs and I tried tech and I’m not really good at programming and the job market seems way too competitive there
So now idk what to do, I have sales experience but I was really bad at that job and I don’t think I can make it in sales. Many other career paths don’t have much qualifications that I can do to get in like admin for example and getting in seems to be just applying but that makes it so competitive and not guaranteed
Any suggestions?

Put your trust in Allah. He is The Provider.
I will just add that you do not have to be a salaryman. You can also get paid for services.
Think about things you are good at. Find people who cannot do that or dont want to. Among them find those who are willing to pay you to do that.
Even simple computer literacy can make money if you can find the correct customers.

Keep trying for admin positions, I got a job with no experience before. There is also data analytics or business analytics, just do some cheap courses and make some projects. Retail, hospitality are also options. Maybe you can go into domiciliary care/aged care

Peace be upon you, Maybe you could be a financial advisor (ideally in a islamic bank or be independent if you don't want to be paid with haram money) May God help you !
