I suggest suicide. not even joking. retail is shit. you will be too tired to do anything after work. over the next couple years you will slowly become a zombie and rot away. Don't take the job unless you're literally starving. it will destroy you.

Then I realize people just don't make the same money that they used to, wage-kuk wages are the new norm. Why word hard and get a degree that puts you in debt? No incentive to do that anymore.

I might become a truck driver, make some money before robots take that job away.

Why dont you faggots apply for laborer positions in construction? It pays alot more than retail and you dont have to deal with people all day. Once you get used to the work it isnt hard at all
>>
>>24648017

Electricians can make more than sys admins, so that isn't a bad career choice either.

For sys admin you either need some kind of an experience in IT, even if it's being an intern, a helpdesk agent or w/e, so your employer sees that you are good with computers.

From that step onwards it depends what kind of a sys admin do you want to be.
Marketing system? Network admin? Something more custom?

Open up indeed.com / indeed.co.uk and start checking the common requirements.
I knew a postman (22) who started using some linux distro as his daily device and got quite good at it.
Made some Microsoft certificates (really cheap fyi) and landed his first admin job after his 2nd interview.

And frontend software tester job is something you can land even without any education / experience in IT whatsoever.

OP I was a NEET during my whole 20's and I still avoided retailshit when I came back into society at 30.

Community college was chill as fuck. Just make up some story about how you're a recovering drug addict trying to get his life together or something. I found an easy admin job there while I was studying for their nursing program. I even lost my wizard card because I was surrounded by younger Stacies with daddy issues most of the time (though I guess this is likely with a retail job too).

Fuck working graveyard shift at Walmart; there's more than one way to do it. This >>24647957 sounds cool as fuck too. Just do that.
>>
>>24648364
>Just make up some story about how you're a recovering drug addict
Why the need to lie?
>>
Why would I need a job at 30 any more than I do now (im 19) ?
>>
I agree with some posters here, if you're good with logical tasks then check out IT.
If you're physically fit, look for construction jobs.

My half-brother works as one of the construction guys in Europe (Norway) and apparently earns roughly $9k a month. If I wasn't in wheelchair, I'd join him.

Why go into retail unless you're aspiring to be a manager someday?

Warehouse, materials handler, security, environmental services, hospital clerk, any kind of tech in meical or IT, so many things that aren't retail. There's welding, hvac, and plumbing which don' take too long to get through and pay a shitload of money. Some trades are even really fucking cool, like machinists. You play with tools, computers, and metal to make cool shit and it's practical for lots of your hobbies too.

I believe I would write freelance before doing retail. If you have even basic skill you can get to around $15/hr pretty easy. Some desperate college kids will even pay you $10/page to write their papers. Now there's some easy money. It doesn't even matter if it's written well, just that it's written right. They get an A and you get repeat customer and word of mouth.
>>
>>24647783
It is so easy though. Which is why it's no longer worth getting one.
>>
>>24648577
How are you supposed to write a college paper if you have no idea about the subject?
>>
i'm 22 making $35 an hour doing software dev.

only difference between me and most of you guys is that I didn't piss away all my time at the computer.
I actually learned shit, I wanted to know how the machine I was on nearly all the time worked.
>>
>>24648577
This is all you pretty much need to takeaway OP.

Some people act like working at Gamestop is all they can ever do and I'll never get it.
>>
>>24647659
Living on roughly 400 dollars after rent and expenses is not a way to live. You contemplate suicide just as much if not more than you would if you were wagekeking.
>>
>>24647770
I think that really the only "respectable" low wage job you can get if you're 25+.

Make sense since most of the customers are sad adults.

Best of luck man!

If you become good at listening and giving advice you'll be banking like a nigga.

At least you're not on the streets begging.
