<prompt> Human: I want to start this post off by letting everyone know that the position I have put myself in is MY fault and my fault only. I have made a lot of decisions that make me question my sanity and doubt I will ever be able to be a normal person. I 100 understand that these decisions are of my own doing and I have nobody else to blame but myself. I am 22 years old. I work at a motel on the overnight shift getting 40 hours a week at 8.25 an hour. I take home a littleOver 1100 dollars every month. I have only had this job for a month so Friday I will have 1k in the bank. I have no bills. I have no car. I live with my dad and ride a bike everywhere I go. I would rather not go into how I got into this situation because in my opinion the past is the past. It hasnt been due to poor money management skills, but more so the considerable inability to stick with anything in my life. I have had a number of jobs and I normally quit for whatever reason. I have done;Fast foodRetailKennel workerWorked on a farm Formerly in the marinesMillwright workBeen to 3 different collegesHospitalityMedical maintenance While I liked and disliked a lot of these, this is not why Im here. I know I have a fucked up colossally on building any sort of credible resume and I accept that. I am here because I want to lay out my plan and have it critiqued by the best. Which is the readers of this sub. Friday with my 1k I plan to buy a hooptie. Something to get around in while I can save up for a better car. I have been riding my bike for a year now and its gonna be a cold winter. I want to be driving by December. From there I plan on getting a day job to double my income. I have no other bills aside from a 50 dollar student loan payment which I plan to start attacking pretty aggressively. When I have all of this income coming in, I dont know what the next best move should be. I dont qualify for financial aid right now again my doing so school has to come out of my pocket. This would be fine except I still have no real idea of what I want to do.Im not looking for someone to tell me what to do. At all. Im just looking for some guidance. Or maybe an idea of what someone else would do in my situation. I know you arent supposed to compare yourself to others but I feel like Im falling light years behind a lot of my peers and its pretty terrifying. Thanks in advance. Assistant: Im 22 myself. Ive never been in a similar position and I am very fortunate the way my life is going. I wouldnt be where I am without proper education and training from various avenues. Community college is cool, but I work in IT networking and systems and in these careers certification are more accepted than degrees and much less expensive. If youre interested in IT at all let me know and i can point you in the direction of getting good training only real cost is the exams that, can land you an entry level IT job and set you up for future success.If youre not interested in IT listen to everyone else and use this opportunity and motivation to get an education in something u will like.Human: I have looked into almost every career path except for IT. Im not sure if it would be for me because I havent researched it at all. Are there any good publications online I could look Into that would tell me a bit about the field?  <response>: Sure. Id go on youtube and watch a guy named Eli the computer guy and look for his videos on getting into IT.Sadly most publications are technical, which are great for learning technology but not geared toward gauging your interest in the field.I watched Eli when I was in high school and fell in love with tech. Self studied some certifications, got my first networking job at 19 some experience a few more certs and now I just turned 22 making more than most people who have been working for 15 years in other fields.Everyone is different. I love to learn and make things work. IT lets me learn a great deal of technological theory as well as practical hands on application. Knowing that every day when I go to the office that Im going to either know something or be better at something than I was when I left home give me a stiffy.
