How the fuck are you supposed to become so good at something people will literally pay you to do it

Lmao 18yo are good for cannon fodder and fast food service. You are thinking of child prodigy or savants

yeah but even in stuff like that, you need experience and to know what to do in retail, bartender, working at a counter before they'll hire you

Was Mozart a savant?
Or just had the opportunity to practice and learn from the best from a very young age
Wish I started learning guitar earlier, I might've been better by now

You're seriously overestimating the skills it takes to work in retail or fast food

You need 0 experience for retail and if you can be a server that's the experience for being a bartender.
I don't know if Mozart was a savant per se but I think he definitely goes under the umbrella of child prodigy. I love Mozart for more than just his music, it's hard to compare ourselves to the best

Idk senpai.
I became a plumber apprentice at 19 after studying my fathers trade in horology, the day I turned 20 I bought a ticket to Alaska and became a fisherman. No highschool but I've lived in my own since, making about 50k a year so far, half way to 22.

Man, you just got to put your 150% in and you can do anything and get paid for it, just apply yourself and don't be a jackass.

you've got to be in the position to apply yourself which means convincing somebody else you're better than the other 40 people who want the spot, and then having the natural ability to not reveal yourself as the bumbling autist

How can someone as stupid as you even survive?
>you need experience and to know what to do in retail, bartender, working at a counter before they'll hire you
These jobs will hire almost anyone. A literal retard works at my retail job. I was a NEET for three years after high school and I only had to apply for like 4 retail jobs before being hired. Who is telling you these lies user?

Do well in highschool, have a university pay you to learn how to get good at something.
That's what I did.

You need drive and motivation, pour all your energy into your goal and most important thing is.
Always consider yourself as bad even when you are good, but solely so you keep trying to improve.

I have had a few people want to pay me to write hip hop rhymes for them but, by the time this happened I was too apathetic.

Any reason you disn't stick with plumbing?
Just started going to trade school for it and so far the work is more enjoyable than other things I've done

How do even become a fisherman? Or an apprentice plumber? You can apply all you want but 99% chance no one will take you

fuck i wish i had trade schools like that in Australia. Plumbing is basically the only profession with more demand than supply of plumbers but the only way to learn it is through apprenticeships which are hard as fuck to get.
i did decently well, top 20% ish but thats not enough to get scholarships or to get into the couple of non-meme degrees like law or medicine

First ask yourself why you would want to be a fisherman..

Plumbing is a low paying grind before being state certified in my original resident state. I enjoy it but it's not a thrill. Simple math, I could work all year (pre cert) and make about 30k, most of which wouldn't go to savings. I made 27k in two months last summer alone, before going crabbing.

Plumbers get paid to pipe, fishermen get paid to die. Supply and demand, plumbing can't pay me enough for happiness.

for money like any other job

I've got the always think im bad thing down but all that does is put a wall up between getting anything since you have to appear to be such a truly above average person to get a second look for anything, and you know balancing out not publicly looking like a subhuman and having that spread around or if you bump into one of them again later

>more demand than supply
That's part of the reason why I chose it, and trade school's fairly cheap here
And yeah, I figure you'd need some other construction-related experience to get an apprenticeship
Gotcha. Luckily my current living situation is pretty cheap so I'm just going to tough it out until getting certified (assuming all goes well)
Sounds like you enjoy fishing in Alaska, though. If you do then it's always good to be able to find even a bit of thrill in what you do to survive

>i wish i had trade schools like that in Australia
What is tafe? We're one of the best countries to learn a trade, or just get a tafe diploma in nursing, IT or whatever the hell else you choose.

Or go to uni for something simple, we get $16,000 just for studying. That plenty enough to survive while doing a bit of part-time work to boost your resume.

drop out of school and learn what you want to learn. coding, volunteer firefighter, whatever. high school curriculum and college is worthless in the modern era anyway unless you want to be a laywer, doctor or professional engineer

It is but without that degree you aren't going anywhere. Best stick it out for 2 or so years
