What do you mean no skills? Like you've gone full retard, or you're just too stupid to get a real job?

however you want to interpret it. it can mean you've woken up from a coma at 40, it can mean your whole industry was offshored at 25, it can mean you're 18 and just graduated high school.

If it were me and no skill set, probably in CDs or bonds. Because if I have no skill set at all, I must be pretty damned stupid and would not know better.

If it were just me, right now. 100% stock. Mostly xJxNxJx PG because it is both undervalued and one of the best run comapnies in the world. But almost jsut as much would go into JNJ. PG is better run.

I'd go to a state school (for lower tuition) and get a degree in something that can lead to a useful and profitable career.
