Honest opinion;
What would you do with an 8th grade education to earn value in today's world without going into more debt for schooling?

Invest 1 hour per day learning about how to build a website. Don't ever miss a day of learning.
Websites are amazing ways to earn passive income.
My nephew started building an anime website with Shopify, a year later he's making $2500/mo on it almost purely passively, and he's just a kid. No tech skills/coding whatsoever.
Or you can try learn to code and probably get a $100k+ job almost anywhere in the US.
But no matter what you have to upgrade your skills, it's the only way. And this is the big sacrifice most people aren't willing to make. And definitely don't need school for that.
I can't thank you enough for giving me to time and your open honest thoughts and pointing a direction to help drastically change and improve my life.

Coding isnt for everyone, find a data center job (engineering operations tech for mechanical work, data center operations for server work), seriously, all you need is some basic mechanical skills like turning screwdrivers. This is like an HVAC job but better, youll spend most of your time in the office, and the work is fairly straight forward. Theres opportunities everywhere for advancement and plenty of open jobs. If you are interested we can schedule a couple calls and ill teach you some basics to make you look better on an interview.
