I'm turning 27 and have zero practical job skills.How do I make above minimum wage?
>>34775311>How do I make above minimum wage?Easy way: Stay at a job for a few years. Earn a raise.Hard way: Learn a skill. Get paid for the skill.
>>34775315What skills can I learn that don't require going to college? (I already graduated with a meme degree)
>>34775311Many community colleges offer classes in marketable skills. Many unions have apprenticeship programs. Many employers will train you on the job
>>34775311google jobs in demand. you gotta adapt to the market and not wait for a job description that's "need a man to climb my hair to save me from this tower".you can find opinions on the careers online if you want to do some deep digging and find something that sounds remotely interesting. you could be a surveyor or work at sea for example. maritime jobs often only work 6 months out of the years on a 2 months on 2 months off situation. it may fuck your social life but the pay is good. other trades like roofing are for turd worlders and people that hit rock bottom with a felony.if a jobs in demand they'll teach you. college is for a select few jobs. most people know college wont teach you jack shit about a job. a person learning environmental science just learns it to work at an oil company to make sure their oil spills aren't bad enough to go on the nightly news.
>>34775317No one goes to college to get skills. People go to college to get a degree.If you go to college thinking you will learn skills there, you will end in the exact position you are right now.You learn skills being out there and actually doing stuff, producing something of value.
>>34775422mhm yessir. you could learn to fix a car or become an olympian off youtube. college just gave you a paper which is as good as a pajeet handing getting one from degree university in brahminstan.find a career field you're interested in and in demand. 10% of every job is gonna suck no matter what so you have to lower your standards regardless... find something you like and apply for it. if it fails, move on to something else.there's tons of careers out there that women and faggots will never touch with a 10 foot pole you can do that are also unlikely to be replace by ai in the near future.if you need to write a list with each interesting career and add a + or - for each pro and con each one has to weigh the options.you already have the paper so you're in a better position than 70% of society even if you are a hopeless retard.
>>34775438>>34775422Colleges hand out degrees. Degrees are there to put legal liability on you. Employers pay for the decreased legal liability on them. Jobs that employ degree holders are those that need someone to put their signature so he becomes the fall guy in case of error. In medicine, the role of the degree is the same, but the force of people wanting one is harnessed by employers to use extra-legal labor, under the guise of paid training, underpaid supervised work, or collaboration i.e. free labor as in research.The skill itself will always be underpaid and replaceable. You could learn to read ECGs and warn people with threatening conditions very early on by learning on youtube, anki etc. Yet that kind of work is illegal, and if someone employed you for that, you would be doing minimum wage for it.
>>34776425yea you work a bs jobsee >>34775375 picrel
>>34775311Go get a cdl, go into a healthcare role most of them are only 2 years long of education, go in the oil industry after you get your cdl, go do welding, do bartending, do waitering, do a job in your local gov, join the police, become a park ranger, join the military, go become a mariner and fish in alaska or all around the US, go get your twic card and get a job at the docks, go get yourself osha certification and go into construction, go become an electrician, become a plumber, become a landscaper, become a chef, become a pastry chef, do compsec certs and get into entry level compsci work, go into the lumber industry, etc etc etc.Dude the world is your oyster.If you are a US citizen you have already won a lottery that you had no idea you were ever signed up for, only way to fail is to do nothing at all.
