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)

I'd suggest truck driving school. There's talk of self-driving trucks coming up, but a driver still needs to be in the cab. But until then, there is a tremendous driver shortage right now. The pay is probably pretty good too. Back in the 1990's, I became a driver and quickly became a driver trainer over the road. Made $70-$80 each year. You can do this.

See 48 states and Canada. Meet interesting people. You'll soon realize what a little world you've always lived in.

Go work at a beer delivery company for a year and they will train you on a class A then just test doubles and hazmat and you have a year experience as a class A driver. Looks better than a school and real world experience
