<prompt> Human: A hypothetical Ive been think about recently as Ive found Ive begun to take little things for granted. This world seems to favor those that have a head start, either due to support of family connections, money saved or gaining relevant job experience at a young age which got me questioning ifhow it would be possible to get your life to a point where youre considered successful in the eyes of others given a clean start where you really have nothing. Assuming the following:30 years of ageNo family or friends to rely on or supportNo money saved away, but also no debtNo job or career and no experience in any fieldNo qualifications, a high school equivalent educationNo place to stayNo possessions, you wearing neat, casual clothesWhats your dayweekmonthyear 1 plan to build yourself up? Whats your 10 year plan look like?Assistant: Join some kind of labor union and learn a trade. Like electrical. Human: Is it possible to support yourself while being an apprentice? Ive heard they make next to nothing for most of that time and are expected to purchase their own tools? Are there any options to offset these difficulties?  <response>: Dont ask anyone on personalfinance about the trades. Union jobs are competitive and can have years-long waiting lists. They just love the idea of old-school masculinity.
