My recommendation will vary with where you live. If you live in a reasonably dense area just go to a trade program get a Ambulance drivers license and work for that for a while. It is on the higher end of low end jobs. Easy to get, easy to do, better pay than you are getting. Looks good on a resume. Watching people die might get you thinking about stuff. Any resume gaps are explained by you werre working with a family landscaping business. Easy, no one cares enough about lawns to grill you on trade info you don’t know.
This isn’t a bad idea, my little brother also kind of fucked around staying at home with parents staring at screens until age 25 and now he is a EMT. However he might quit that soon. EMTs have a surprisingly short average career length. It takes a toll on you mentally to see that much suffering and trauma.
It does. The odds of your getting ptsd and dying are not zero. I have known a handful that died from the job and stuff in it. However in the most boomer sense I think it is good for some people to get some dirt in them. I know I am one of them. I don’t think I would ever reach my potential if I hadn’t. I haven’t yet, but the old ways weren’t gonna do it you know. It has most the moral benefits of military service without the drawbacks of aiding empire.
It is what radicalized me into being a communist seeing thre US Healthcare system up close. Appart from the life long injuries and the pstsd it set me up to find direction and move forward onto other things. It isn’t a job anyone should do for too long really. It is a good place to start over. I worked with people from all diffrent walks of life and that was really valuable to me in finding myself.
I had a similar problem in my mid-20s: no obvious job prospects, no employment history outside seasonal and college-sponsored things, long employment gaps. I felt like a whole bunch of the possible jobs out there were places I didn’t want to be seen.
Eventually, I got to the point where that ultra-self-awareness was weaker than the desire to get employment. It ended up being a dead-end job, but that didn’t bother me. Many of these dead-end jobs were either something I could learn from, or something I could meet people through (a HUGE amount of the social terrain just follows personal association in the workplace), or something that paid the bills and wasn’t psychologically taxing.
I feel you.
I’m 24 y/o now, and have never had a serious job interview in my life. The few jobs that I’ve had, I got through family connections, but I can’t only rely on them (they’re seasonal jobs).
So, I’m planning to do something like cashier at a local grocery store now. They hire students with no real background in the field, and that’s just what I have. Also, I’m trying to get to do some voluntary work (homeless daycare organization). Let’s see how it all turns out.
Sure, its not going to be the most paid or glamorous job, starter jobs won’t pay for you to be on your own generally. I’d try for online using that 3dmodeling etc, lots of demand in it for 3dprinting and AI as others mentioned, that or something with data would be your most survival and first steps toward refreshing yourself time and self management wise.
Xthing there are no good singular survivable jobs, good jobs require connections that 99.99% of the populace lack and always will under capitalism. On reddit and shit you’re seeing that .01 and a ton of bots, the most of us may as well be on Charon vs them the alienation is so vast. You’re lucky to realize this, but still you have to survive in some way by their unfortunate fucked up and irrelevant rules. Those milestones are also not as universal as you think, so don’t judge yourself harshly. Survival itself is a great feat under hell capitalism.
Its not lying. You’ve been a freelance 3d artist all this time, throw in all the ATS words. It checks out, you are a 3d artist by training, so why not? In my experience even for entry level jobs you can’t have a blank resume, just use your education as one job and your warehousing as the other and it should be ok, not great but it will get you an interview or two at whatever entry level deals maybe. Interviews you don’t need to lie, just youtube up common interview questions and practice your answers.
