Any ideas? I’m 21 so not too many bills to pay.
I just need something that will give me the financial freedom to move around and hopefully some time left over.

Use Coursera to take a Certification in an area that interests you like IT or bookkeeping. I found it dead easy and the courses were broken down into really small units that I could finish a few a day.
Did you use those certifications to land a job?
I got my job as a entry-level tech based on Linux ability and I’m currently Junior sis admin with no certs. I still don’t have certs. Just know how to Google and troubleshoot really good.
Unemployed (unemployable?) linux nerd here, I can get a job for this? What sort of listings did you apply for?
Help desk for web hosting companies I settled on one that wasn’t corporate medium, large size.
So you used knowledge gained but not the actual certs themselves?
Not really. I probably learned more from having a red hat based server and playing a game that emulates a Unix terminal environent than I learned from studying for comp Tia before I gave that up
What game was it? That sounds like it could be interesting.
Hacknet
Thank you! I’m going to look into it. Also, for what it’s worth, I didn’t realize I was responding to a month old post until after the fact. So thank you for responding even though I probably seemed like some bot trying to build history. I assure you I am not, and I am writing this on my real phone using my human fingers, while breathing oxygen, since I am a biological creature, fellow human. Beep boop. 🤖

Coursera? Small units? This sounds useful (but for ADHD learning, not for jobs), I’ll look into this. How widely are the Coursera certificates accepted?
