<prompt> Human: Im 21, Ive lived with my dad since high school. I currently attend community college. Im the assistant manager at i wont name the company a sandwich making fast food chain. I make 0.50 above minimum wage. Its about time for a change.My finances: I make about 800 - 1000 per month. Im lucky enough to only pay 200 a month rent, and i currently owe 200 a month toward my motorcycle. I also pay for my own insurance, phone, food, etc... Im usually left with about 100 at the end of the month if Im lucky. So I need to get a new job. I have a savings account that has about 200 in it total right now, and my checking account.Goals:My end goal is to finally move out. Ive wanted to move out since I was 18. Not for any particular reason, other than I really want to be independent.The issue:I dont know how to get a better paying job. It seems like my only other options are fast food, which all seem to pay between 11hr and 12.50hr. I dont know how to find a better paying job anywhere in my city. As stated before, I ride a motorcycle as my primary form of transportation, and Im a new rider, who doesnt know freeways very well. So on one hand, Im afraid to go on the freeway to pursue jobs in other cities. And even if i could travel or commute, I really dont know what my options even are?To be honest i think my primary issue is that I dont know what Im supposed to be looking for. The only places that end up coming up on google when i search for jobs are more fast food places major retail chains that also end up paying at or near minimum wage.Im not opposed to working dirty jobs at all. Id be hesitant to working a job thats super physically demanding due to a lower back injury I got two years ago. Long story short, I ruined two disks in my spine, and cant do much super heavy lifting. Not that I just dont want to, in fact, id prefer it. I used to work in construction when I was in high school, and I loved it. I like the feeling of putting in a hard days work, but now I run the very real risk of rupturing andor herniating my disks, which I really would rather avoid.Summarytl;dr: Im a 21 year old college student living at home. I dont know how to find a better job or where to look. I also want to move out ASAP, but I dont make even near enough money to do so. Whats the first step?Assistant: I dont make even near enough money to do so. Whats the first step?Increase your income, right? You can get some sort of credential associated with your education, and that would help you to qualify for a better-paying job. Even if you did entry-level IT like call-center or computer operations, it could increase your income, maybe even double it.Human: Well my career goal is to be a high school teacher or college professor. Im not totally sure what my options are for that kind of thing.Ive been considering getting a forklift cert so i can work at some place like Home Depot. Still not a lot of money, but better than fast food.  <response>: Ive been considering getting a forklift cert so i can work at some place like Home Depot.Yes. Do that. You can probably get overnight hours so that you can continue your education towards being a teacher, though thats a long term proposition.Average base pay is 15hour, and you could get some shift differential.
