[quote:texmich:MV8yMTI2MTQwXzM1ODgyOTM2Xzg5RjYwMjkw] [quote:Alexander:MV8yMTI2MTQwXzM1ODgyNjE3X0M3OUIxN0I5] Well this is depressing news. Okay folks - learn a skill that makes good money and get out of the MickyD mentality.. a lot of the following areas are jobs where someone is self-employed and basically has developed their own career. Given that I was basically self-employed for years beginning as a teen this is something most folks can do if they have a skill to offer that someone wants. As a teen I started off doing yard work for others. Throughout my life I've done more then 10 on the following list and will probably do more in the future. What makes life interesting is new skills learned and shared. This list is the type of work that is needed in everyday society. Electrician Plumer Transportation (planes, trains, taxi, cruise ships, bus driver) Hospitals provide a variety of jobs: Nurse (one family member with overtime earns 100k annually) Respiratory Therapist Physical Therapist generally work out of a hospital Massage Therapist earns $65 an hour here X-ray Technician Law Enforcement Military is also a good option to learn employable skills Telephone Company County Services Social Services Public Health Travel Guide Landscaper Construction Worker Carpentry Dental Assistant or hygienist Yard busters (take lawn mower and tools to others yards to do maintenance) Realtor (depends upon location) Accountant/CPA or just purchase the Turbo Tax program and offer to do the taxes for others for a small fee. Home Health Aid (provide care in the home for someone who needs it) Housekeepers here earn $25 an hour other areas $15 an hour Transportation (bus, train, plane, cruise ships) Artist/Musician (one person learned the Bob Ross style of painting and then gave classes charging a nice fee per individual) What skills do you have that you can teach others through the community center and get paid for? Taylor (making custom clothes for others) Chef (for hotels, cruise ships, restaurants) Architect (even building tiny houses) Sales Person Nanny (live in) Child Care Provider Day Care Center in conjunction with a college or business Martial Arts teacher/Yoga teacher/Dance Instructor School teacher or college instructor Hair dresser (for men and women) Investigator Marketing Writer/Journalist Teacher Administrator Coordinator (organizing groups of people for different types of events) Photographer Grant Writer Computer Repair Repair shop Mechanic Truck Driver (semi/FedEx/UPS?) TSA Social Worker Counselor Telephone Company Solar installer Rain gutter installer Roofer Fix-it man Restore houses Paint cars - car repair Maintance worker (hotels/businesses) It would be a helpful to sit down and do a self-assessment. For example: Do you like to work inside or outside? Do you like to work with your hands? Do you like helping people or working alone? Do you like living in the city, a small town, a rural area, suburbia, in the country or mountains where you can be a ski instructor. Are you detail oriented? Do you get along with people? Do you have what it takes to get the job done? Are you adventurous where you enjoy trying new things or going to new locations? Do you like children? Do you like older people? Do you like animals? Do you like teens? Can you work under someone or prefer to be your own boss? Do you have self-discipline and follow-through? What skills do you already have - list them? What interests you? What skills would you like to learn and develop? Where can you learn these skills? Give some thought to what kind of service/skill you can provide for someone else that makes you happy. If I were younger I would have gone into the US Space command program or been an architect building tiny houses, which I'm still considering. The main point of all of this is to self-actualize your dream by putting the effort into learning something that will provide self worth and an income. Good luck.

You can see the percentile of your income in relation to the country as a whole. Some will be surprised and others will be disheartened
