Hey everyone kindof a loser here. I'm in my late 20s and I've only ever worked as a dishwasher and in the years 2018 and 2019 I hardly worked more than 4 or 5 months. When covid hit I was really nervous about leaving my house but now months later if I don't leave my house I'm going to blow my brains out, fortunately I have $0 in my bank account so I can't afford a gun. Wondering if anyone has advice, on job hunting that is not suicide, I think I can manage that by myself
Aside from what others have said about trade work, from what I've seen, jobs at local government offices seem to be pretty decent. If you are able I would try to prioritize applying for stuff like administrative/secretarial/support staff work at local government sites, courthouses, local schools and universities, hospitals, clinics etc. These jobs will probably be boring AF, but they should at least be somewhat predictable, and you will at least not be required to "spend" your physical well-being to do carry them out (like landscaping and stuff where the bodily harm doesn't offset the benefit of the income). I was looking through some job listings at a local health clinic/hospital, and it was actually helpful that they have a 'job hunting' login so you can apply for multiple positions but not need to do a separate application for each one.
Oh! Another potential trade I just thought of is locksmithing. It can be surprisingly easy to pick all sorts of locks. If you pirate a couple of lockpicking videos and buy a few cheap picks, you may be able to get your foot in the door at a locksmithing place as an apprentice or something (people need locks changed and get locked out of their shit everywhere) if you demonstrate a little skill up front.
My personal recommendation would be to avoid anything where you interact with angry customers, especially if they are the ones who determine your pay (being a waiter). I did this for a minute and it literally made me want to die.
