Trades and online projects are a great way to get into careers without going to college.
College requires saving up by doing customer service, which is very dysphoria inducing. I
can't pretend for more than 60 days without a dangerous mental breakdown unless the job isnt customer service facing, so ablesim and dysphoria is my main barriers. I also cant drive (I have a drivers license) due to issues with my vision so I want to work at a business, plant, factory or IT offices which are single one-site locations. I thought of a way around this.
I'm mentioning the following so you can understand my resources and get a better idea of me. I had a cis pal in college, twinky, same short height, similar face to me. We were in the exact same boat 2 years ago and liked chilling in the field looking up at the sky. He became a mason by being trained by his new friend and he now makes a ton of money building homes and we lost touch cause we both have ADHD forgetfulness.
I was pretty popular with cis short dudes who liked tea, meditation, psychedelic mushrooms (LMAO), ghosts/urban legends/horror movies, classical philosophy, motivational productivity tricks, authentic cultural foods, and we loved talking about how hard it was to find mens clothes that fit, and we all had ADHD.
So anyways, I had a pretty neglectful education so I can't apply to jobs with my resume.
I need skills and the only way I can get that is by social networking. I'm out of college now (my college ripped off their students and I had like six cases of illegal teacher ableism against me so I dropped out after getting two small certificates) and I'm super duper anxious about how to find friends without being in a place that doesnt just round up people the same age like in college.
I know the trick to getting skills is to offer to help for free or take on more work to get mentored. How do I even start finding guys? Its really stressful and I wish I could just have a normal job and be a workaholic. I feel super guilty about spending any time focusing on my hobbies and socializing instead of applying with resumes. It feels like a waste of time trying to use homeschooling resources to make me make up for my education, overcome classism and help me fit into academic circles (I'm popular in them but I always leave because I feel stupid). Anything that isnt directly applying to jobs or writing resumes feels horribly useless, but my approach is creative and might work. I feel like trying to find a place I belong in cis guy communties might help me get support and mentorship. I'd love to work on cars, fix electronic devices, get into manufacturing or farming, or work at a water plant but I never got an education on it so I checked out some textbooks on the subjects, I still haven't read them because it feels useless. I just am so overwhelmed by panic that I don't know whats right anymore and whenever I try asking for help people tell me to do the traditonal route of work then college but that doesnt work for my circumstances. The worlds shifting to reccomendation based hiring and I know I need to start social networking in person, or get in an online project like coding discord bots and making programs with friends. Idk where to start.
Am I stupid?
