My recommendation will vary with where you live. If you live in a reasonably dense area just go to a trade program get a Ambulance drivers license and work for that for a while. It is on the higher end of low end jobs. Easy to get, easy to do, better pay than you are getting. Looks good on a resume. Watching people die might get you thinking about stuff. Any resume gaps are explained by you werre working with a family landscaping business. Easy, no one cares enough about lawns to grill you on trade info you don’t know.
This isn’t a bad idea, my little brother also kind of fucked around staying at home with parents staring at screens until age 25 and now he is a EMT. However he might quit that soon. EMTs have a surprisingly short average career length. It takes a toll on you mentally to see that much suffering and trauma.
It does. The odds of your getting ptsd and dying are not zero. I have known a handful that died from the job and stuff in it. However in the most boomer sense I think it is good for some people to get some dirt in them. I know I am one of them. I don’t think I would ever reach my potential if I hadn’t. I haven’t yet, but the old ways weren’t gonna do it you know. It has most the moral benefits of military service without the drawbacks of aiding empire.
It is what radicalized me into being a communist seeing thre US Healthcare system up close. Appart from the life long injuries and the pstsd it set me up to find direction and move forward onto other things. It isn’t a job anyone should do for too long really. It is a good place to start over. I worked with people from all diffrent walks of life and that was really valuable to me in finding myself.
