How can I turn my life around 4chan?What I want, is to find a career that makes me a lot of money and is something I can stand doing for like 40 years.For context, I used to be a smart kid (straight As) in high school, but got burned out and went crazy in college. Ended up doing a mild troon out and got an English degree. Now I can't find jobs over $16/hr. Meanwhile, friends who went to the same college are making $30-$40 out of school.I think I want to go back to community college, but I need advice finding a field of study or career field I will enjoy and will make about $30/hr, if not more. I live in the middle of America.Any advice or questions I can ask myself to help me with this goal?
Is that even possible anymore?
>>34124251idkI have enough money saved up to do community college while I work my day job rn

>>34124244I'll tell you what I know Trucks , farms , drugs
>>34124244Do the guidance counselors not tell you how much you would make? Lol
>>34124244You're gonna have to do some research yourself on what is good for your area. Middle of America is a little too vague. What might be good in Ohio is not necessarily good for Texas.There is most likely a trade field in your area that is stable and fairly easy to get into.
>>34125586ok how do i into that>>34129518idk not really lolThe only career guidance I got seemed to be one class my senior year where we would learn about jobs for English majors and talk to former English majors at our school and see what jobs they ended up with>>34130158Yeah...Idk if I can do a trade since my body is fucked up after taking hormonesWhat is a good critera to determine if something is good in my area? How do I see what jobs are in demand?
>>34132850Do you live somewhere that has extreme temperature variances throughout the year? HVAC.Do you live somewhere that has rainy spring/summers? LawncareDo you live in a densely packed modern city? Telecom/ElectricDo you live on the coast? Commercial fishingDo you live in the PNW? Commercial loggingIt's simply something that you're going to have to find yourself, and you'll likely have to get direct feedback from people. If you can't do trades, general labor jobs can lead to pretty nice positions of you can work through some shit for a couple of years and put effort into moving upward.

>>34132850I live in the midwest and was sort of in your position. I randomly got into tree work and made $20/hr to start. I got a raise to $22 after a year. Nothing amazing but it's enough for me to rent my own apt and live a simple life. I had no experience and wasn't in any sort of skilled labor before. It's going to be hard but if you eat well and take care of yourself, your body will adapt.
