I don’t have a degree but I’m good at lying on my resume, it was how I was able to get a job that I maintained for a year. I hate working as does everyone but I’m more vocal about hating it and often get myself into trouble. I don’t have college credits or degrees or any certifications or training. I’m autistic too so most the jobs I’ve had have been extremely uncomfortable. Ideally I would like to work with flowers even though I have no experience I really like them and think it’s quiet but I think these are few and far between. My unemployment runs out soon so I really need to find work but I just don’t know what to do.

No qualifications, no drivers license, no college degree, nothing just a loser NEET

    I've had a lot of fun as a tour guide and you'd be surprised how NT-friendly the job can be. You need to be able to become comfortable talking to a large group of people, but on the plus side normal social conventions do not apply.
    People are there to hear you yap about something you know about. You can't really commit a faux pas, there's a clear framework for the conversation, what topic it is, what relation you have to the people on the trip, what is expected of you, how long it is expected you do it and so on. I can recommend it.

    Working in demolition was also a lot of fun, though you need to be able to take care of yourself (wear PPE even though you're told it's gay or some stupid shit like that.) It's also not something I'd recommend you do for more than 6 months, it wears out it's welcome or it wears out you.

    Stay out of kitchens if you can.

    I've done a lot of rigging - setting up stages and the like. It's been nice work and easy to work your way up.

    Working with kids was very chill. Can recommend. Protip to interacting with children: Treat them like your drunk friends. The behaviour is more or less similar.

    Depending where you are you can get training as a sailor or a truck driver and be paid for it.

    There might be greenhouses near you that sell plants. They typically give out courses as well and they might be looking for hires too.
    I guess check if you live near a botanical garden too
