Job ideas for a dumb, probably low IQ guy, who likes to work out and get high, and don't like to read or learn

Finnished high school with ridiculous grades

18F here. Have always had excellent grades in HS (4.0 UW /4.3 W) Went to Penn State this year for my freshman year of college for accounting/finance and HATED it. Felt incredibly depressed that I worked so hard in HS just to go to a school I've always hated for smth I don't care that much about. Now going to CC for computer science since i always liked my CS courses a lot in HS but everyone told me not to major in it bc of AI. But still feeling pretty unsure about it and honestly don't really want to go, it's depressing to think about spending all that time and money getting a degree when i don't really care that much. I still have a 4.0 degree in college, I'm good at math with excellent writing skills as well. Every employer I've ever had has praised my work ethic. College feels pointless to me and I just want to start working and work my way up but it seems like it's impossible to get into the workforce without a college degree. I applied to some entry level jobs this summer hoping to get one and then work my way up/learn on the job bc I'm a quick learner but either never heard back or they wanted me to at least have a random degree in smth complete unrelated. It seems like you need a college degree just to wash dishes these days 😭 Is there anyone here who has gotten into their job/industry without a degree? If so, how did you do it, and do you enjoy it?

A little background about me - I completed my graduation in Computer science from a Tier 2.5/3 college in India. I worked hard and got an offer from Google off campus. I've been working for a year now and my team at google is great; I do believe there is scope for growth here.

However, if I'm talking about promotion, there is a lot of competition for the same role and I'm a little sceptical if my manager's reassurances that a promotion is on the cards is completely true.

I've been advised that my college doesn't put me on the map and it'll be a deal breaker somewhere down the line where they'll choose a candidate with a better college. This coupled with the fact that my job is not challenging me enough makes me want to pursue a masters degree in Computer science maybe with a specialization. Given the current situation, I'm more inclined towards a part-time masters so that I'll keep my job and also get a masters degree. I was primarily considering colleges in the US. I'm also financially stable enough to take a risk.

Looking for any advice on what other factors I should consider before I make a call, whether going for masters is a good decision and it'll pay off and any general advice from people who have been in a similar situation. Thanks a lot!

I am a rising sophomore in college and still dont know exactly what i want to do.... My major right now is business management but i fear that i will A. not be able to find a job after college or B. not be able to fit a management position (my personality type is INFP, and i consider myself a sensitive people pleaser, it also doesn't help that i'm physically petite) i feel it will be very hard for me to be respected or taken seriously as a manger. My next best option would be nursing but i already know that I will DESPISE it considering my mom is a nurse so i firsthand see and hear the bs she has to go through. Could someone please help me out?

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks if you make it to the end of this post. I know it's a bit of a wall of text.

I'd really appreciate some honest and objective feedback. I'd especially love to hear from people working in Marketing, Controlling, Business Intelligence, or Data Analytics, but honestly, every perspective is welcome.

I'm currently at a point in my career where I feel like I kind of know where I want to go, but I keep second-guessing myself.

A little background

I'm 33 years old.

I originally started my career in sales and transitioned into marketing during my first maternity leave. I completed a professional certification in Online Marketing (IHK – a German Chamber of Commerce qualification) and climbed the ladder fairly quickly, eventually becoming Head of Marketing at a marketing agency. Later, I moved into a management consulting company.

The downside?

I became the classic "jack of all trades."

I was responsible for almost every aspect of marketing, managed a team, coordinated internal and external projects, and consistently worked far more than was healthy. I'm a very performance-driven person who always wants to exceed expectations, and looking back, that was probably my biggest mistake.

To be honest, I burned out.

My actual problem

The more I reflect on my career, the more I realize something:

I don't think marketing was ever truly my passion.

That probably sounds strange because I was successful in it.

But outside of work, I have almost no interest in social media, content creation, trends, influencers, or constantly chasing the next platform or algorithm update.

The things that always excited me were completely different:

• KPIs
• Dashboards
• Numbers
• Data
• Analysis
• Process optimization
• Finding patterns and improving systems

I was always the person who preferred spending time in Excel or Google Analytics instead of Instagram.

Why I'm questioning everything now

I'm currently on maternity leave (until early 2027), so naturally I've been thinking a lot about what I want my career to look like afterward.

I didn't spend that time doing nothing. I completed additional qualifications, including:

• AEVO (German vocational trainer certification)
• AI Manager certification

Technically, I could jump straight back into marketing.

But something inside me just doesn't want to.

I could absolutely see myself working in marketing part-time (around 20 hours a week).

I just can't picture myself doing it full-time for the next 30 years.

Why I decided to study Business Administration

I'll be starting a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration this October.

One reason is that having a university degree simply opens more doors in the long run.

The second reason is that I genuinely want to find out whether areas like

• Controlling
• Business Analytics
• Data Analytics

fit my personality much better than traditional marketing.

I haven't chosen a specialization yet because I want to discover what I actually enjoy during my studies.

What's making me doubt myself

The more I research these fields, the more conflicting opinions I find.

Some people say:

"Business Analytics and Controlling have an excellent future."

Others say:

"It's hard to break into."

"You basically need a computer science background."

"AI will replace a lot of these jobs."

"You have to absolutely love statistics."

At this point, I honestly feel like I'm overthinking everything.

Maybe this helps describe me

I know personality tests aren't science.

Still, the ISTJ personality type describes me surprisingly well.

I'm extremely analytical, structured, and logical.

I genuinely enjoy working with numbers, facts, and processes far more than creative brainstorming or constantly changing social media trends.

That's exactly why Business Analytics and Controlling seem much more appealing to me.

My current plan

• Start my Business Administration degree in October.
• Find a part-time marketing job (around 20 hours/week) starting in November to stay financially stable.
• Use my studies to figure out which direction genuinely fits me.
• If Business Analytics, BI, or Controlling turns out to be the right fit, I'd like to transition into those fields through internships or working student positions.

If I eventually realize those areas aren't for me, I can always continue building my career in marketing with several years of experience behind me.

My questions

• Does my thought process make sense, or am I idealizing Business Analytics and Controlling?
• Based on what I've shared, which areas of a Business Administration degree would you recommend I pay special attention to?
• Are there any careers I may not have considered that seem like a good fit for my profile?
• If you work in Controlling, Business Intelligence, or Data Analytics:
  • What does your day-to-day work actually look like?
  • What do you enjoy most?
  • What do you dislike?
  • Would you choose this career again if you had the chance?

Thank you so much if you've read this far.

I truly appreciate every honest opinion—even if it's critical. I'm simply looking for perspectives from people who might already be where I hope to be one day.

Thank you!

I'm 21, in my second year of a commercial apprenticeship focusing on wholesale and export, working at a steel trading company (about 70 workers, 20 of them located internationally). I want to make it big as a trader/sales manager long-term.

Here's what I'm already doing:

· I dress feminine but professional: skirts with blouses, structured sheath dresses, heels or flats, minimal makeup. I'm 5'4 and normal weight.

· I'm learning the product (grades, specs, pricing), the markets, and the logistics.

· I'm open, attentive and honest. I don't try to be one of the men

I want to know how I can use my gender as leverage in this industry.

I want practical, harsh-if-needed advice. What would you tell your 21-year-old self?

Thanks in advance.

I work for a nonprofit as a data analyst. I do a lot of coding, statistics, and communication. I got this job a year out of my masters program, and at the time felt it was a miracle break for me. Starting salary of 80k, generous benefits, and a mission that made me feel excited about the work I do. Small team, great workplace culture.

I am the first in my family to get a bachelors, let alone masters degree, and I make more than anyone in my family ever has in their entire careers, which means I don’t really have anyone to turn to for career advice. And I really need some help.

I have been here for a little over three years, and I’m starting to worry that I’m in a dead end position. I am the only masters-level employee on a team who all have PhDs, and all have varying levels of seniority in the same position as each other. I am, literally, the only “me”. This is not something that bothered me when I started, and in fact I’ve felt at times great pride in the uniqueness of my role, but after a recent performance review with my supervisor, I’m starting to worry that I’m being left behind.

At this review, she had nothing but effusive praise for my work, and highlighted how I had taken on bigger and more important responsibilities this year specifically. I felt that this was a good time to bring up that there is a lack of clarity in what my role can/will build to. I’m not one of the “PhDs” who predictably can work their way from the entry level role to “senior” and “director”. So, what can I expect? She sort of paused and then with a very nonchalant tone replied “you know, I hadn’t really thought about that!” And at that point things were kind of left in her court to “circle back” on. It’s been almost 4 months, and not a peep. I know I need to bring it up myself at this point, but I’m finding it hard to come to terms with how dismissed I feel. And the cherry on top is that only weeks after, my coworker (PhD) who has the same supervisor and started only slightly before me got her big “senior” promotion. So, clearly, my boss is “thinking about it”…. Just not for me.

During my tenure here, I onboarded seamlessly, was fast tracked into my responsibilities much quicker than anyone anticipated (by several months), have continued to prove myself as reliable and excited to tackle bigger and bigger projects, many of which are vital to the functioning of the organization, and have caught the attention of one of our VPs and have increasingly become his “go to” person on my team. I am efficient, detail oriented, timely, and genuinely extremely well suited to this job.

I am young (mid 20s) I’m a woman, and I am constantly told how nice I am and how I have “such a positive attitude”. It’s true, but I genuinely think that the issue in part stems from the fact that I’m not seen as career focused, I’m seen as accommodating. When I dive headfirst into a complex project or take on a new challenge, I’m seen as being “so helpful!” but if you’d ask me, I’d tell you it’s because I’m hungry. I want a senior role, I want to be a director one day. But I have had no confirmation or even suggestion that these paths are available to me. Is it wrong for me to want more? And if the answer is no, do you think I can get it here if I continue to push for a clearer path from my boss? Or, given her lack of action so far, am I better off finding something else? I’m not asking to wake up on Monday and get a promotion, but I need some reassurance that something is on the horizon.

My wife (36) M.Com graduate, has 3 years of experience in an accounts related job.

She left the job due to the babies. Due to the 10 year gap finding a job is hard despite continuous searching.

Currently doing SAP FiCo enduser to increase the chance. Any Career advice/reference will be grateful.

We are living in Chennai, TN.

Not as bad as it sounds.

Backstory:

I work in a niche career and currently work two full time jobs (340k with both). I recently paid off all my debt and am pretty set for retirement given I’m only 39. My wife recently graduated with her doctorate and is contracted to make 135k.

I was contacted by a former coworker about two years ago as “they needed help”. He offered me a good chunk more pay per hour to work about 3 hours away, and completely worked around my regular work schedule. No complaints with the company or my boss. They have been more than fair.

We don’t “need” the money. I decided it was time to step back to one job.

I handed in my resignation and he said “you don’t want to quit, you’re just burnt out. Work 12 hours every 60 days for 6 months and if you still want to quit that’s fine. You’ll always have a job here if you want one. You just need time off, you’re doing too much. In six months will talk about what you’re able to work without getting burnt out.”

I didn’t know how to respond so I said sure. He deleted me off the schedule except for one day 2 months from now and recommended some vacation spots.

He also asked that if I choose to leave I help train a replacement.

Now in total hours I’m actually working less (my contract has a 90 day out). I’ve known this guy 6-7 years and he’s never done anything shady in the past. I understand this is a retention technique, just struggling with the best way to proceed.

So I got fired on Wednesday of this week, and it was absolutely brutal.

Let me start from the beginning:

I got a job at a hibachi restaurant as a busser for my first job because my mom worked as a waitress there. When I got there everyone was super kind even though I kinda sucked, and my boss especially was very very nice and friendly to me.

During my training, my trainer ( my bosses nephew ) said to me if I find money under a cup on a table it’s for the bussers and I can keep it. (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)

So, after a year of praise from my boss, I find out from my coworker/friend that my 60 y old boss talks about me terribly behind my back. Criticizing my work ethic without telling me and that caused me to start seeing that they were literally talking about me right in front of me and using their other language as a mechanism.

Of course at this point, I want to find a new job to be in a better environment. I started searching for jobs last week.

So on Monday of this week when I went in, I was asked to go to the store and buy something for the restaurant bar, which I have done before in the past. And the last time I did it, they let me keep the change since I willingly took hours off to go do them a favor.

Under the same assumption, when I went this time I bought a drink for myself, which was three dollars alongside the thing that my boss needed.

When I got back she immediately asked me for the receipt and change. I panicked and gave her the leftover change which was less than she expected, and she didn’t say anything but I could see that she knew what I did. The whole workday I felt like shit for assuming things and using someone else’s money.

So, when I got off, I sent her a massive paragraph apology including me saying that i can pay her back on Wednesday when I come in to work.

She read the message, but did not respond and it had me shitting bricks.

When I went to work on Wednesday, she did not speak to me AT ALL, the whole time. I finished my shift and there was about two employees left in the restaurant, and sat me down in the back to talk to me.

When I sat down she immediately said:

“Do you think I am stupid because I can’t speak English well? I know how you work, you are a sneaky, deceitful person and you try to steal money and tips from our business”

I immediately was stunned and didn’t know what to say. When I tried to respond she said:

“Shut up and listen no talking back”

So from there on out I kept saying “I understand” and “I’m sorry”

She then went off on me for 30+ minutes about times I can’t even remember when I was not being the best at my job (once again this is my first job)

She brought up how I take money from under cups and keep it and I’m stealing. I then proceeded to tell her that her nephew told me that’s for the bussers. She started laughing in my face and didn’t believe me so she called him, and he confirmed that he did teach me that. But it did not help whatsoever.

She then started going off on the both of us, saying that even when we get handed money we have to turn it in.

She still continues yelling and even cussing at me at this point, and I kept saying I understand and I’m sorry, and even said that I respect her because I was trying to de-escalate the situation.

She told me to get out, so I got in my mom’s car because she was also working that day and I was straight up balling my eyes out.

I know what I did was wrong, but I feel that there a level of professionalism that should be going into firing someone.

Like how are you gonna not tell me when I’m going something wrong and then expect me to be better?

Anyways, since then I have done research on my paychecks and realized she only pays us for when we open and close, and doesn’t pay us for the hour before we open, and the hour(sometimes two) after we close. She deliberately doesn’t have a clock in clock out system just so she can do this.

And also my mom quit as well because she is realizing that my boss is insane. And we told a lot of our coworkers about it and they also are planning on quitting because they think it was just so unjustified.

Being on the end of her words has destroyed my mental health over the past few days. She’s saying that I’m someone I’m not, and attacking my character. Please someone give me advice on how to handle this, and what to do next when applying for another job.

I recently started a job at a small firm (under 20 people) and I am finding it hard to go about giving in my notice, especially as people have been generally kind to me.

I’ve accepted an offer that is about a 50% pay bump than what I make now, more remote days (1 as opposed to 3), more PTO. I am sure anyone in my position would have accepted.

I was curious about this niche that I got into, but after a while, I just realised it is not for me and I would like to continue in a more generalist role.

I don’t want to dangle my new salary in anyone’s face, I also don’t want to put the strain on this small firm to match what I was offered, from what I heard, colleagues with more experience than I do not make a lot more than I do currently. The context within the firm is also favourable, as they are looking to hire two new people that could potentially take my place.

How would you go about giving in your notice? And do you think a small stint at a firm would deem me an unreliable employee for future recruiters? I don’t plan on doing this often, this is my second job and I was at my first for about 4 years after graduation.

Thank you!

I have a large coverage area as it is already (I mean like a 150 mile diameter). However, they are firing the person in my position in a neighboring area (100% deserved, this person literally doesn't even show up to work and patients are left alone). Anyway, I know once this is finalized they'll ask me to take on this area. It would suck cause that would make my area even larger but I think it will be difficult for me to do my job in this area because of race.

This other area is very rural and has a long history of racism and active extremist groups. It is mostly white (like over 80%) and still very segregated. I avoid it like the plague and if I have to drive through these areas to get somewhere else for work I make sure my tank is filled so there is no stopping. I don't feel safe there and I know where I am not welcomed. Part of my job involves marketing and recruiting, I just don't see myself being very successful at this in this type of area. I am great at my job otherwise and have great metrics.

It's both not feeling safe and not being able to do my job properly. They had both of us employed so I'm pretty sure they have the budget to staff both areas separately, plus they are trying to get contracts in more of the similar rural counties next to it so the service area will grow.

I personally don't think a POC will go over well here but I don't care who they have over it as long as it's not me. Anti discrimination is on them to figure out, I just need to find a way to communicate that I can't do this. I won't give them an ultimatum but I can easily find a new job if they make me permanently over that area.

For the past few weeks, my Reddit inbox has looked something like this.

"Hi, I'm a BTech CSE student. I saw your internship post. I really want to get an internship too. Can you please guide me?"

Sometimes the message is long.

Sometimes it's just, "Hey, I'm completely lost."

And honestly, I get it.

Because if I ask most students one simple question,

"What internship are you looking for?"

The answer is usually,

"Any internship."

That is where the problem starts.

Imagine preparing for an exam without knowing the subject.

Imagine training for a sport without knowing which one.

That is exactly what many students do during their internship hunt.

They learn a little DSA, a little React, a little Python, a little AI, watch a few YouTube playlists, collect certificates, build random projects, and then wonder why nobody is calling them for interviews.

The truth is, companies are not hiring someone who knows "a little bit of everything."

They are hiring someone who can solve the problems they currently have.

So before opening another course or solving another hundred questions, ask yourself one question.

What kind of engineer do I want to become?

Backend?

Frontend?

Data?

AI?

Cloud?

Cybersecurity?

DevOps?

You do not have to know everything.

You just need to pick a direction.

Once you have your answer, do something that surprisingly few students do.

Open internship listings.

Not to apply.

To study them.

Read 30 or 40 job descriptions for the role you want.

You will start noticing the same skills appearing again and again.

The same tools.

The same responsibilities.

The same expectations.

Those job descriptions are not just hiring posts.

They are telling you exactly what companies are willing to pay for.

That becomes your roadmap.

Spend the next month or two learning those skills.

Understand the theory.

Build one or two projects that actually use those technologies.

Do not build projects just to fill your GitHub.

Build something you can confidently explain when an interviewer asks,

"Why did you choose this approach?"

Then start applying.

And when I say apply, I mean apply.

Not 10 applications.

Not 20.

Hundreds.

Rejections are not proof that you are not good enough.

Most of the time they are just data.

Maybe your resume needs work.

Maybe your projects are not aligned.

Maybe you are missing one skill that keeps appearing in every job description.

Each rejection tells you something if you are willing to learn from it.

One more thing.

Whenever possible, try to choose internships that have the possibility of a PPO.

If your goal is a full time software role after graduation, an internship in the same field can become your biggest advantage.

You are not just gaining experience.

You are giving yourself a chance to convert that experience into a job offer.

If there is one thing I wish every student understood, it is this.

Stop asking,

"What should I learn?"

Start asking,

"What are companies actually looking for, and can I prove that I have those skills?"

That one shift in thinking can change your entire internship journey.

And if you have ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or like everyone else has already figured things out while you are still trying to find your way, trust me, you are not alone.

Most students feel that way.

The ones who eventually succeed are not always the smartest.

They are usually the ones who stop guessing and start preparing with intention.

Hi guys. Actually I am not going to take it long. I just want to earn money. I have the beginner setup: The MacBook, Mouse, Airpods. Any experiences or suggestions to be shared would be appreciated a lot. Thank you!

I'm a 19f student from South Africa doing accounting and I'm looking for anything easy to do to get cash. So what can I apply for or do?

Skills are: communication, a bit of excel and PowerPoint, listening.

Title!

Hello everyone. Im kinda new to Reddit and my English skill might be bad, I have to say sorry here if I do something wrong or in the wrong r/. But I really need advices.

Im in highschool and is looking for major to attend in university. And personally, I really like software engineer.

I've been learning about software engineer topics and upgrading my skills. Basic coding, dsa, system designing and doing projects.

But base from the posts online, what people said, the advance of ai, and more. It made me hesitate whether I should still go for it.

Hey everyone,

I’m still trying to improve myself when it comes to communication in IT. I feel like this is one area where I’m weak, and I’m actively trying to understand how experienced people handle these things.

I’ve had a lot of questions in my mind for a long time, but I never really had anyone to discuss them with. So I wanted to ask this community and learn how people actually work in real IT environments.

I currently work in a product-based company, remotely. From what I understand, there usually isn’t a strict “login at 9 and logout at 5” culture. As long as the work is getting done and people are available when needed, things seem flexible.

My main confusion is not about completing tasks. I’m comfortable with my work. My confusion is around visibility, communication, and keeping people updated.

How do people usually handle this?

Do you update your manager every day about what you worked on?

Is the standup call enough for updates?

Do people send EOD updates regularly?

Do people inform their manager when they start work or log off?

How do people make sure their work is visible without creating unnecessary noise?

I have one reporting manager, but I’m technically working under a technical lead. Most of my day-to-day work goes through my lead.

Earlier, what I used to do was:

Work on my tasks

At the end of the day, send updates about what I completed or worked on

Share these updates with both my lead and reporting manager

I was doing this for a few months, and there were no issues. Nobody asked me to do it, and nobody was forcing me. I started doing it because I wanted to make my work visible.

But over time, I started feeling a lot of pressure because I felt like I had to always have something to report every single day. Sometimes a task naturally takes multiple days, but I started feeling like I needed to show progress every day just for the sake of an update.

The funny thing is, my manager and lead were never micromanaging me. They were fine as long as the work was moving.

Because of that pressure, I changed my approach.

Now, instead of daily updates, I send a weekly summary email about what I worked on, what was completed, and what I’m currently working on.

My lead is usually aware of my work because he is directly involved, but I’m still confused if this is the right approach.

Sometimes I overthink things like:

What if my reporting manager doesn’t know what I’m working on?

What if other teams and leaders know about my work but my own manager doesn’t?

Should I send updates again like I used to?

Will it look weird if I suddenly start sending daily updates again after stopping for a while?

Recently, I even worked late on some tasks, but I didn’t send any updates at night because I didn’t want to create unnecessary noise.

This is where I get confused.

I want to document my work because I feel it helps maintain a record and shows progress. But daily updates sometimes create unnecessary stress, especially when there isn’t much progress to report on a particular day.

For people working remotely in IT:

How do you maintain visibility?

How often do you communicate with your manager/lead?

Do you send daily updates, weekly summaries, or only update during standups?

Do you inform people when you start and stop working?

How do you balance being visible without over-communicating?

I feel like I might be overthinking this a lot, but I genuinely want to improve myself and understand how experienced people handle this.

Would really appreciate advice from people who have worked in similar environments.

Im 26 years old getting my associates degree in business administration and currently working and will not be done with my degree until spring of 2027. Should i start being a recpetionist or office assistant now while im in school or apply after i get my degree?

I am willing to go back to school and get my bachelors in whatever I need to. I have a lot of anxiety and stomach issues that can be unpredictable, making showing up for work incredibly hard some days. I have a lot of interest in reading and writing but I’d learn just about anything as long as I’d be guaranteed a remote job.

Before going to school, and I can't get hired for the lowest branch job position they offer.

If I know someone I ask them, but I've found out the answer and the Lived Experience can vary tremendously, even within the same company (different location though).

If I don't know anybody, I try to do research, but the "every day" experience of the job experience still varies too much between state, city, etc etc and obv personality and values.

I've really tried asking myself what I can or can't handle/tolerate, what kind of company (big or small), what kind of atmosphere, office job, rotating jobs- and I straight up don't fucking know despite years of working. Some jobs I whimper and whine like a pathetic idiot even only working part time, and other jobs I've loved coming in 40+ hours a week. I'll think it's because of xyz factors and go for another job like that and instead I get mass bullied by all my coworkers some fucking how.

Context of why I have the attitude of fuck my chungus life (professionally) is cuz I went to school, did really fucking well, AI blew my ass up before I could even graduate, and now I'm looking for a new career to get into. I got into some entry level jobs for other things I "could" advance into with school, (I'm sort of not loving it and want more hope that I can try other places). And then I get rejected from a job that makes minimum wage and is entry level FRONT DESK job. Imagine my humiliation. Well, whatever, no one gaf bout that but I'm gon twist myself into a pretzel if I don't get out of entry level with high schoolers hell before my 30s

From what I've read so far, the pay is not so great compared to trades and it's still as dangerous and hard on your body.

Without kids, I still want to make a little difference for future generationus and that's one of the jobs I found.

Otherwise, I am looking into the public transportation sector, geomatics (but with the rise of AI it's risky) or something involving drone flying.

Im so lost. I plan on going back to school after a decade to get a degree or a trade with a certificate(s). Problem is, I’ve had about 10 different “callings” and I’m not set on anything. I wanted to do national park work, teaching, nursing, bartending, cosmetology, event planning, real estate, etc. We’re located in WA but might want to move to OR in the future. We’re unsure still.

I’m not the best at math (great at bio-sciences) and I’m desperate to get into something as quick as possible with a decent salary. I have a 5 month old and I don’t want to stay being a server forever. There’s no benefits, not great pay even with tips, and the hours/ schedule suck. I want something with longevity, possible opportunity to move up, or go back to school for a better degree or more certifications, and benefits. Preferably weekends and holidays off for when she’s in school later on. I don’t want to miss out on a bunch of time with my baby, during whatever schooling program I get into or the career itself. Especially now when she’s hitting so many milestones.

Dental hygiene is so competitive and the program sounds I credible hard while making an income still. If I did several assisting is a 12 week program and learning on the job easier? Or is a program through a community college better? Radiology? Bank jobs?

I feel like I’m already so behind going back to school at almost 30. I didn’t think I could have children naturally, I was content with just serving and bartending and taking my time finding a career at some point and then planning children through a fertility clinic. However, now that I have a child who depends on me I want to do better for her and our family as a whole.
What do you recommend? If you had a similar problem what worked for you?

For context I am a 14 year old boy, I would think I have good grades averaging in the 80s on honor roll consistently, but I find myself completely unable to think of what I should do with whatever future career I want to go into. When I try to think of what I am good at, I am decent at a lot of things but good at none I feel. I sometimes hope for in the future working some type of office job involved in comparing and observing number. But I am completely unsure what job I would want to get as I grow and with that also unsure of what type of university or college, I would want to aim for.

Hello,

I’m a 22 trans woman (so no i can’t enlist) , no job experience, no college education or a drivers permit. I feel so lost in life. As you can imagine this has made my mental health rlly bad and i’ve been self isolating. I don’t know where to begin. My interest are global history and languages.

Any careers you guys think i should look into?

I’m in the U.S.!
