forums posting. some grocery experience.
Wait are you really only 21? Honestly I think you would be perfect for college. I mean obviously you're smart/driven blah blah blah who gives a fuck if no one's hiring you even despite being capable. That piece of paper is a stupid but real roadblock.
However, you're at that age where you are no longer automatically considered a dependent when it comes to financial aid. I went to community college and when I turned 21, I transferred to UC Santa Cruz. I had an okay 3.5 GPA and ALL of my UC tuition was covered in grants. You'll still have about $10k/year in living expenses but that's not too bad and can be chipped away at with part-time work.
At least that's how it works in California, don't know about Nevada but you might have Cali residence status anyways. Also, FAFSA does not check your credit score. I would highly recommend taking as many classes in community college as possible before transferring though. Feel fee to ask me any questions you got about that process.
>tfw you're past your 20's, no college degree, have a certification for changing industries
>industry still passes over you because "certification doesn't count as experience" in your current job company and elsewhere
>live in a truly dead area for the industry

You'll be fine, a good friend of mine was in his mid-30s when he graduated and he's in mid-level management now. If you got capability and drive (plus bullshit pieces of paper), you can move up.
What's a soyjack though, is it an incel thing?
/v/ slang/insult for those
Wojack edits. There's like thousands of them now and they're used for "brainlets" and other shit to where it's been corrupted and annoying.
Get a degree.
Why aren't you going to college right now? What the fuck is wrong with you?
1) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ... (20 years later) $$$$$$$$$$$$$ I don't have. I took one class (remedial math since I suck at it) and that costed like $600 just for the class before books ALONE, at a community college. I make $300 every two weeks. That adds up when my car insurance, health insurance (for my disability), etc. is $1,000 every six months (for car insurance) + $300 for my disability/implant session at the doctor for a 1 hour session. (Medical in America is a scam, ya'll)
2) My certification
should in theory let me get into entry-level positions (aka: help-desk like positions) but
3a) Disability: I dropped out of college the semester I started due to the disability not getting proper help (notes were late, class assistant was worthless and not available in the evenings for two of the classes I was taking at night/past office hours) so it was a waste of my time and money when I was already failing/not passing the class because I didn't understand it and thereby have a bad experience with higher learning.
3b) Disability: Getting said entry-level position is nearly goddamn impossible when managers see your disability and "nope" out despite the ADA (which doesn't really work in the area, hey-oh!) supposedly covering interviews/abilities/etc. for the position and being mandated if you're EOE/ADA compliant.
Yes, yes, I know a degree is "required" now. Don't need to tell me, but it's out of reach and isn't needed for an industry that
should be hiring self-starters that are willing to learn and is constantly learning.
But I'm close to a goddamn shotgun because I have had numerous interviewers see my resume, get back to me after a day for an interview, disclose my disability (because if I did it on the resume they'd fucking pass over me) and ask for accommodations only for them to take 2-3 days and then go "uh, no, we're going to pass on you, this position requires XYZ which you may not be able to do. Good luck on your hunt." And this is from a
fucking EOE/ADA company/college/etc.
So Shosta doesn't have as much of a fuck-up as I do, I assure him. Though the *autistic screeching* mod position
is a knock against him, let's be honest.
