Suggest me a job?

Well, this is silly. But, do you know what kind of job I should do? I'm clueless.
I've worked in a store stocking shelves, done inventory again in stores, mopped and cleaned office buildings, worked as a trucker's helper, loaded/unloaded trucks, security guard etc.

Now I'm working in a factory. I'll admit I do find this a little interesting since I've never been in a real factory before. I'm working as fast as I can with minimal movements to do anything. You don't even have time to blow your nose.

Anyone have any cool job ideas?
 
construction, either electrician or carpentry. Honest days work, fun (for me) and decent salary if Union
 
Apply for a government position with a security clearance. It's the only way to "break" out of the general labor category. You'll make the same pay usually, but you'll get much needed experience and raises a lot quicker. It also allows you to go into other parts of government or management a lot quicker. Even factory workers in federal regulated businesses have security clearances.

You were once a security guard as well, so above all else why not try going for police officer if everything else seems like a dead end road?

Also; post office jobs may seem funny but they're super laid back and have great pay for what you do.

Post office jobs are extremely hard to get.
 
Oh come on let's get real here!

No one here can answer this for you.

Does anyone here on this forum know you personally as a friend, or family member, that really knows the type of person you are, strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, etc...?

I seriously doubt it, and if so, THEN no one here is qualified to give you an answer, ONLY you can decide through the help of friends, families, the local church in town, people who really know you, etc...

You just can't give a general idea of what you're doing right now to strangers, and expect them to give you an answer. We all change, and what you like now will typically not be what you enjoy, say 10 years from now.

Eventually you're going to have to start figuring out who you are, and where you want to end up down the road in life, it's not that complicated.

As they say: --> Pay Now Or Pay Later. 🙂

Good luck with that. Unless you're hot and female, you're going to have a hard time getting a decent bar tending job.

QFT. Unless it's a gay bar.

edit: they'll probably waste a hot female on that as well...
 
Any of the trades are pretty good. Most people hate real work, or feel it's beneath them, and are willing to pay buckets of money to avoid doing it. Easy to pull down 50k, a 100k requires that you work hard.

Easy to make 50K a year, LOL, I'd love to hear your ideas on what constitutes easy at 50K?

Seriously though... you sound like you have good experience to be a supermarket manager/assistant manager. Just get some management experience. You should do something related to grocery stores since all those jobs you've done before are needed in a grocery store.
 
I kind of like the postal sorting station idea. I like that. Hehe, yeah, that would be a tough job to get.

Maybe I should get a job in one of those food factories. Cripes, at least there might be cleaner air.
 
I'm thinking you should aspire for something like a neurosurgeon or criminal lawyer to the stars. If you want more technical, then I'd go with something like semiconductor device physicist... that's what I ended up doing.


My backup plan was to break into porn.
