    You need to write down what you want to do make goals. Come up with a plan and execute. Have drive and determination can do attitude, confidence.

    1, GED
    2, Job any Job.
    Show up everyday on time and come back from breaks on time.
    Work hard, have a good attitude, don't give your boss any trouble
    Be honest, don't steal, don't worry about how much your making.
    Don't worry about what others are doing, just do the work row the boat don't rock it.
    Don't sabotage yourself by drinking and doing drugs.

    "Have a dream"
    Do your part, go make it happen, put in the work, dig,dig,dig.

    My first real Job "Jack in the box" min wage $3.35.
    The store owner was asking us for our goals I wrote down I wanted a house and a white picket fence.

    I put a bamboo fence on it.

    I wish you nothing but the best and watch what you wish for.

    Just a heads up $27.50 sounds good at 18. Don't be scared to dream bigger. When you think someone is overpaid go ask him what's he doing It's all part of figuring it out, don't be scared of success go get it.
    And you guys officially dated your self 3.35 min wage that had to atleast be in the 80s so I would assume your in your 40s maybe a tad older? Lol

    Re: good starter jobs?

    Oddly I recommend getting the "soft skills" as in customer facing jobs like bartender jobs get you.

    They rarely provide good money in themselves but will enhance almost every other job you get.

    "People skills" aren't easy to learn but almost every job involves them - and they really help you move up the job hierarchy.

    Re: good starter jobs?

    Another option to look for is a workforce development group. I worked for one for three years in Richmond, VA and they are in most decent sized cities. They are a government funded organization that help people get their GED and job training skills, including the fees for technical training at no cost to the individual. It seems like you already have an idea about the type of work you want to do, and many of the trade jobs are what these groups are geared towards. In the three years I worked there, our organization helped hundreds of people a year with school tuition for trade schools and/or certification programs (nurses aide, etc.) as well as resume assistance, job skills coaching, counseling, etc. You do have to qualify for the program, but if you are unemployed and don’t have marketable job skills, you would be a good candidate.
