And no, please dont suggest homeless shelters, those are just unsafe and very demoralizing.
The very first thing I looked for (and forgive me for this, this is gonna be a controvertial one here) is the military, because thats just what lots of reddit threads mentioned, and like it would be an immediate exit from a toxic household, and yes, that would mean enduring an institution thats also kinda toxic, but thats only a few years and you're free, and its much more predictable. Except they dont accept anyone with depression and you have to prove you're "fine" for probably 36 months to even get a waiver. So that's crossed off as an option.
Jobcorps, well thats for low income families, and being a dependent means your parents income is what counts so i dont qualify
Americorps NCCC, well that seems seasonal and the next thing doesnt start till like months later (not sure if I'm even reading the website correctly)
Ngl I lowkey just thought of enlisting so once I finish that, next time we meet, I could stand in front of my toxic brother just staring at him menacingly, like whatcha gonna do, fight with an ex-soldier? Not to mention the prestiege of veteran status. And btw its only 1% thats acrually ever gonna face real combat so its not like WW1&2 trench warfare, its mostly just logistics, and like a civillian job, you'd be contributing to shareholder value anyways so there isnt really much of a "moral highground" either way, except working a retail job or some shit is very demoralizing but military has the reverance. And also
But anyways I'm not eligible anytime soon anyways. I doubt I'm even "manly" enough for it.
~~Bruh idk what to do really, you know that one movie, Parasite where like they work in a rich person's mansion and that shit. I'm not a fan of rich people but like I lowkey wanna like just "housesitter" and chill in some nice mansion with great views, and maybe even find secrets and become a movie plot.~~ (edit: okay this part I'm half joking, its more like a fantasy daydream of "I get to be in a movie plot" probably unrealistic for someone that never been in proximity of high wealth)
I'm in Philly, PA btw.
(Also should I pack light with just a backpack and just one or two change of clothes and laundry often or just carry every clothing I could fit in a suitcase?)
Here's the thing, most prospective employers aren't looking for someone who can "probably figure out" how to do the task. They would much rather hire someone who can say with some confidence that they can do the task.
So, if you're serious about pursuing a career in something like Systems Administration, Developer Operations, Programming, etc., you should start taking the steps to filling in your knowledge gaps.
Learn how to do spreadsheets, learn how to do more command line stuff and write/edit scripts.
Do you know how to configure things like SystemD? Do you know about things like Docker and Podman? Do you understand how networking works and how to configure FirewallD? Learn all of that stuff too!
If you're serious about wanting to work with computers then I recommend you humble yourself around what you don't know, take pride in what you do know, and put in the effort to fill the gaps by studying. There are lots of resources out there.
The same advice applies to someone who wants to be an artist, to someone who wants to be a doctor, etc. Acknowledge what you don't know, and work to make sure that you do know it. That's how you work towards longer term goals.
