<prompt> Human: Im broke as fuck and just graduated high school a few months ago. Sooner or later gig jobs just wont cut it for me and I need to start focusing on an actual career so that I can retire in the future. College isnt an option for me as I cannot afford it and risking unemployment while putting myself in debt doesnt sound beneficial in my opinion. I will literally pursue any career I can as someone fresh out of high school as long as it means I no longer have to live paycheck to paycheck washing dishes at Chilis for 9.00 an hour. What do you guys think I should do?Assistant: You should probably make a resume and then apply for some jobs on Indeed that youd be interested in doing. Human: The only jobs available within 5 miles of my town on indeed are all shitty college student jobs. I live in a pretty compact suburb with nothing around. The current job I have at Chilis was acquired on indeed. Im looking for an actually career that will give me opportunities for the future if I cant work my way up. If it turns out that this is an impossible request Ill just pursue military service and see where that takes me.EDIT: military is an option I am seriously considering and I have been talking to an army recruiter for awhile but I have until I go to MEPS to change my mind. I dont want to sound like a choosing beggar, I just want to know if you guys can give me any input.  <response>: Honestly, going into a bit of debt to get yourself through college isnt a bad option. You can work while youre in school and start paying off a student loan while youre in school, and doing 2 years at a local community college followed by 2 years at a cheap state school can give you a solid degree without being in debt for years and years after graduation.If you apply yourself in school and get decent grades, and get yourself an internship or multiple internships or jobs related to your field of study, you can definitely find a job that will pay you better than most jobs that dont require a degree. Just pick a major that has strong career options and high starting salary expectations, work hard, and youll be set.
