I'm a 25 year old with no job and limited education

[Farrinto]

Military is probably out of the question for dude. OP said he had a skin condition and MEPS will most likely DQ him for that, I've seen someone get DQ'd for acne before

but yeah, try to get a good job that doesn't require college, there's lots of them.

What type of government job can you get with limited education?

A low government job, but they're out there. Both state & federal. Here in Illinois, there vets get the step up before anyone else. But when I was trying to get a state job I had to take a test to see where I fell. Try that route

Post office for a long term thing. Might be a good fit considering you can't be too physical.

You could subsidize some computer classes on the side, try to get some certifications if you're up for it.

Er, not you. OP.

I have a HVAC cert but the issue with that is I have a skin disability that could cause me issues any physical type job. My best bet would be a job I can use my mind more than my body

You should check out Quality Control jobs, there are some positions in which you do not need a college degree, the only thing you have to do is take some science classes at a junior college.

Depends on what you like to do.

If you not about them books hardcore and office jobs pick up a trade. The best thing you can do is just get up and go to a community college and see what you need to do to enroll.


Don't even think or worry about anything else get your foot in the door and get things in motion

I need some advice. I don't want to work some bullshyt ass job I want a career. Something I can be proud of but I have no discernible skills. What advice would you give a young man trying to get back into the workforce? Should I go to school? Should I try to get a government job? I just want to live comfortable for now. I live in southern Cali btw

As another 25 year old in the same situation, I'll tell you this.

You need to fix the reason why you are 25 with a limited education. Why?

Because if you do not, you will find yourself in this situation again and again. All jobs I had were because I needed one, I didn't pay attention to how I felt about it or did it fit with what I wanted to do as a career. I am now paying for those mistakes with a terrible job history, very few references, and student loans. You need to take some time and research (yes actually dig into the internet) to find out what your interests are.

I copped the CompTia A+ cert recently (thanks to @bdizzle ) and I'm literally starting from the bottom again. But it is an interest I only figured out by writing down and asking myself questions. Will I want to do something else? Maybe, but you gotta think present tense.

School is great, but not the end all to a career or education. Again, following your interests or already existing skill sets will make it 10x easier to find a pathway. Loans are a bytch.

Forget being comfortable, that is for people who started life at 18. Grind now and be comfortable later or be 30 and asking yourself the same questions.
