I recently lost my job and need a new one. I have a 4 year degree and I have a have held many different types of jobs. That being said, I don't really have expertise in any one field. I am kind of in a position in my life where I can and want to start anew, with a career that is actually fulfilling, or at the least, one that doesn't make me want to kill myself. Any ideas? I've thought about going to trade school, maybe become a welder of something, but idk if 2 years of no pay is feasible right now. Regardless I need to figure something out. I am not an idiot, I am a fast learner, and I am fully confident that I could perform almost any job to a satisfactory level (except maybe some jobs that would require some previous specialized training). So does anybody have any bright ideas?

TL/DR: I need a job. Where should I look/apply?

(I almost want to post my censored resume to get some input.... but I'm not THAT stupid. Lol)

Also, go into a trade. Trucking has a shortage. Electrician is a good one. Welding pays good

I think truckers start about $70 or 80k. Major demand right now. One of the most dangerous jobs; probably the most dangerous widely held job. Pretty much all you need is a CDL which you can probably get with a month or less of training.

"trucker shortage" is the motto from training companies since the 90s.

the real shortage is the lack of pay that keeps people bailing from low paying otr work. not to mention the shit treatment and abuse from your employer and people you have to deal with.

you'll be seeing fuel tank driver shortage. thats also due to the fuel tanker companies paying drivers low. or trying to force them into predatory leases.

The real shortage is because you never know when theres a mob of apes trying to pull you from your truck and murder you or damage/loot it.

Had at least year worth or more of riots to scare off many would be drivers.
