I don’t know what I’m supposed to do right now fam. I’m working a crummy job, living with family right now. I want to move, but I don’t know what I want to do for work moving forward and can’t find much of anything in the job market. I’m single, don’t have a set plan. Still young so lucky I have time but I just don’t know what I want/ need to do.

Money is tight and I dont like my current job at all.

I have lost so much money being wasteful and stupid here and everywhere.

This isn’t a poor me, this is just me trying to get it out and ask what you all would do in this situation.

Invest in yourself!

Learn a trade... (good) Plumbers, electricians, welders, hvac are always needed and it can lead to having your own business.

Stay at home while you get qualified. Be super helpful at home and help out. Be grateful for being able to stay.

Get a temp job and help out with the rent at home and also safe up for a deposit on your own place.

Head down, hard work, kindness, humbleness...

Write down what your preferred life looks like, education, relationship, health, economic status and desired person and attributes. Be very specific and then be that person which would be required to have that lifestyle and work towards it every single day until you achieve. No shortcut, just a strong why, proper mindset, consistency and output. Just know that the grass is greener where you water it. I realized this once I achieved all my goals and realized I'm still me at the end of the day just a more refined me that actually followed through with said accomplishment. That means happiness is not the destination but the small stories in between the journey.

Just believe in yourself and work at it.

I'm genuinely here for you, despite it only being on Nostr for now 🫡

If you can swing it do a coding boot camp.

Find someone who works at a company you desire and get in contact with them for an informational interview. Tell them you are interested in their job/company and want to get the skills needed to work there.

Maintain a low time preference and invest in yourself. Focus on ways you can create value for others. Sorry for the generic answers but I don't know you well enough. Figuring out your source(s) of income is obviously a priority, and ideally you can develop and create some that work for you

Now that you're writing this, it feels like you're at a really important point right now. I was in a similar situation for the last couple of years. What I think was hindering me to just moving on, was that I was searching for the perfect thing instead of just trying something. Had so many great ideas in my mind but expected for the seeds to grow into a tree overnight.

Having something you can work on while you are still in your current job that brings you real substance like studying something or building something, it will bring you new perspectives over time. Even if that thing sucks sometimes. Doing the same right now.

That way you make each day more meaningful for your future self. You gonna grow into it and won't even notice in the first place. You're a smart and talented young boi, I'm sure!

Thank you for sharing with us all this "private" thinking.

The good point is that you are curious about others opinions or advices. And it is a good skill, if you want to improve your own opinion. Open mind is always a good state of mind.

The less good point is that you seems to be a little "lost". But it is not for long, you just need to find your path.

Your life can be seen as climbing a mountain.

You have to find climbing holds to put your hands and feet in it, just to be able to go higher.

You can made bad choice and use a bad spot to put your hands, but it will not be the end, and you can choose another climbing hold, more secure.

If you choose only bad climbing holds and fall, your rope's life is your family and good friends, they will not let you down.

If you stop climbing you will just have cramps in your hands and feet, and it will be harder to continue climbing.

The more you climb, the higher your view around you will be.

My advice will be quite simple, just allow you to "try" something.

It can be silly in other eyes, the most important is the trust and energy you can put it in to make it a success.

And if it is a bad move finally just try something else.

The most important is to be wise enough to secure yourself "financially" if things goes wrong to avoid you a bad fall.

For sharing back to you some personal experience, i think i am older than you and see things a different way. I don't regret any choice i have done younger but now i take more time for valuables things to my eyes.

Which not always match the valuables things to "society" eyes.

I try to hold less things, to keep only essential.

I try to discover other countries, peoples, state of mind. I travel when i can afford it.

I don't want to have a villa, i live in a common house like many people, but would like to live in a smaller house like a tiny one, it would just fit my needs. Having a little garden to enjoy and have foods growing in it.

Having the less footprint on the nature would be a challenge and having a good impact on nature (add some "value" to it) would be a bonus.

The only point that keep me "in the system" is the health.

I know it cost a lot when you are older and need medicine or healthcare. And this is a point that make me rely on other because i am not a doctor or a surgeon.

Most of my skills were born from passions, and they have grown by themself. i think it is the good way to keep going on your path.

You can also discover and learn skill from others, sometimes a simple meet is a complete game changer.

The only point that matter is that you are the only one to know deeply what is good for you.

Just dare, it always worth it.

#unoneedswork Start looking don’t be too proud to work a job “beneath” you. Next job doesn’t have to be you last job.✌️✝️

Id take drastic action. If your current fiat mine is sucking too much time&energy out of you, I personally would cut off this bridge first.

You got this youre a good dog 🐶🧡🗽💜

Make stacking bitcoin your job. If you have no debt, take advantage of the fact that you have support to work whatever job you can find to save for the future.

You've gotten a ton of good advice, so in case you need more: if you feel like you don't know what you want to do, it can help to make clear distinctions within your current situation: what do you like most about your crummy job? what do you like most about living at home? Lean into those, maximize them in every way that you can.

This can shift your mindset and help develop your instincts, leading you to take more and bigger steps toward what you really want (even if it's hidden from you now).

Have you considered starting a landscaping business? Cutting grass & maintenance work is a low cost of entry and also has low overhead costs. You could do this on the side to get extra cash and pay off your debt.

You can make very good money just by cutting grass. You may find you’re doing so well by getting out of debt faster than expected, that you’d also be able to quit your day job and go full time with it.

This is a good idea, thanks

I started years ago back in 2008 when my full time job reduced their hours. Owning a home at 17, I was cash strapped, stressed to shit, and always one paycheck away from not being able to pay my mortgage.

I found a free POS mower sitting on the side of the road and used my trimmer & blower to start supplementing my income by cutting after work and on weekends. I used to put it all in the trunk of my dodge neon.

Turned out I actually enjoyed it, so i started learning everything I could about lawn maintenance. I was eventually able to go full time with it eventually and ditch my factory job.

Now I can’t stand cutting grass I’ve cut so much of it. I eventually transitioned into working with interlock pavers and natural stone and phased out the grass completely.

There is good money in cutting grass and I personally think you could get out of debt pretty quick. Definitely worth thinking about.
