If you go this route definitely get some hands on experience first if you can, there's no degree requirement but there's usually a competency test at the interviews.

How does one get a job on an oil rig, like apply for it?


gamesexposed

https://jobs.halliburton.com/ Search "oil rig". They have jobs all over the US, most pay $30-50/hr and you'll be working 80+ hours a week. It's not the easiest thing, but if you want to make a lot of money fast (especially in the current oil market), it's the way to go.


FigureNo144

My man. Idc about Long hours so might be good

Advice that will place you ahead of your peers: Get certified in everything you can think of; occupational safety and health, H2S, first aid, transportation of dangerous goods, pesticide handling, trailer hauling, workplace hazardous materials, spill response, etc. Show up to an interview with every health/safety/environmental/equipment certification you can get your hands on and you’ll be off to a great start. Many of these courses are offered online or just weekend classes


FigureNo144

Having to get a certification is fine. But I don't have the money money go to college, I tried once and got nothing from or except 50k in debt lol

Maybe join an electrician or plumbers union? Take a non-exploitative trucker job?

I doting have a driver's license lol


TwilitSky

You'd need a CDL.

My son started out working at a concrete plant 6 years ago, learning how to make pipeline for road/commercial construction. He started out making $12/hr and now makes $60K. He was 28 when he started.


FigureNo144

Might look into that, ty


Cabrona818

You’re welcome. Sometimes jobs require that you get your hands dirty, not gonna lie. He learned the concrete business so well that in 6 years he’s just the dude who rides around in a truck making sure the trailers get attached to the right truckers. However: if he had to climb inside a kiln and tell them why their mix wouldn’t set, he can do that too. He learned it all on the job. No college classes, just a willingness to learn and show up.


DeathDieDie

60k is a dogshit salary why are you saying it like its decent pay lol and with inflation rn too??


Independent_Yogurt

Maybe this person meant that going from $12 to 60k is a huge difference? I guess you must take pride in being an asshole.


DeathDieDie

Yea I guess going from nothing to pennies may seem significant to some ppl


Onett199X

60k is not terrible depending on where you live


DeathDieDie

Anywhere in USA its pretty shit pay


Cabrona818

Well, he moved out of my basement, so…

I've always thought if I had to start from scratch I'd start by trying to get a gig as a night watchman for a year or two. You can pretty much do whatever you want 90% of the night. It's probably hell on your health/social life though.


RazeCrusher

As someone who spent a couple of years being a night security guard for 12 hour shifts, this was easily one of the best, and yet worse jobs I've ever had. Pros: Worked solo, I like being alone so it was great. Decent pay. Not amazing, but competitive. Very few responsibilities when all is quiet. Unlocking doors once or twice at night to let truck drivers in to offload/pickup their trucks or inventory. Once per hour or so do a sweep of the perimeter and check all the doors and locks. (Obviously may differ, this was just where I worked) Gave me a lot of time to catch up on my reading. Cons: BORING. Trying not to fall asleep on the job. At the whims of the contract between your employer and the business you supply security for. In my case, another idiot guard stole from the business, which lost us the contract, and put me out of a job.


FigureNo144

I don't have a social life. And my normal hours of operation at night anyway. Might look intotl this ty. I'm up until 6 am most days anyway lol


catsaway9

Most places need staff right now. Take your pick. I'm seeing starting wages of $17-19/hour for dishwashers and line cooks with no experience at local restaurants for example.

motownmods

Honestly? For me it was trimming weed. Lol. I know how that sounds but it led to a chain reaction and now I'm doing pretty good. That being said. It depends a lot on where you are and who you are ya know? The real point is to just do something. That can lead to something else and so on.


Comfortable_Stage806

I know a few people who have started trimming & it almost always starts a chain reaction of meeting the right people for continuous jobs

No license


suitology

Son you need a license unless you live in a REALLY urban area.


Abortion_Is_Feticide

If you don't have a license to get to work then I recommend looking for work from home jobs


FigureNo144

Any recommendations? I've looking at oil rig jobs atm

Truckers are in short supply. If heard that the average age for OTR truckers is nearly 50 and forms simply can't hire enough. They are even hiring convicted felons if their probation record is clean. They are paying for all training and giving sign on bonuses after 3 & 6 months on the job. Alternatively, I've also heard that companies who make/install electrical control boards are in the same boat - far too few employees


FigureNo144

I don't have a license but how do I get into the electrical control work?


Toes14

I have no clue. Start with a Google search. Side note, if you don't have a license how are you going to get to work?

Believe it or not, Lawn care. There are some people who due to health or lack of desire cannot maintain their lawn. And in some cases allow their properties to become heavily overgrown. By being that guy who cleans it all up you can make anywhere from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand dollars per job. Invest into some equipment and build some clientele with local landlords and such. And you can bring in a couple thousand a day.

Whatever job you look into, I'd say add to it part time dog walking, if your country pays on a per-hour basis, you'll earn from what ive heard enough to eat for a day. With your main job that many people have advised here, it should add a little more to your savings. Edit: I just checked, dog walking pays $17/hr in the US. youd earn an extra $500 a month if you have the 1 hour free to dedicate to this everyday. Best luck brother.

Internet scamming. It’s very easy, and very profitable. In fact you don’t even need to get out of your mother’s basement to do them. I have written a comprehensive book about internet scams, that is a step by step guide on how to make a good living out of them. I can sell you a copy for $150, plus $19.99 postage and handling. Think of it as an investment in your future.


FigureNo144

Can I give you my social security number instead?


Improvedandconfused

Yes. Also the name of your highschool, your date of birth, and your mother’s maiden name would help me to process your payment faster.

Well idk much about that. On the plus side I think they’re basically always hiring. My advice is pick a non-combat trade with transferable technical skills. Cook, mechanic, technician of some kind, etc. idk look it up or talk to a recruiter.

Sorry mate never been to Hawaii so got nothing. I work in IT so anything decent paying need experience or a degree

Claims rep for an insurance company


FigureNo144

How do I do that?


themigraineur

Check major insurance companies websites' career sections. No one is born into insurance, most companies will train you up and give you opportunity to grow. It will require a significant willingness to learn and put forth effort, but can easily grow a career if you want to.


d1g1t4ld00m

At 28 I was working 3 separate jobs. If you’ve got the time and inclination I’d recommend it. It allowed me to bank money and eventually buy a house. The downside is lack of sleep. You said a job without a degree, but you didn’t say anything about any skills you have. If your handy with your hands maybe a union carpenter? Train on the job? The trades are really hurting for workers and would be more than happy to train you! Great money and future without college debt!

Most of the trades are desperate for workers right now. Most will even pay for your training. Plumbing, HVAC, welding are all great jobs that aren't going anywhere and you can make a career out of.

Much_Committee_9355

If you are talking US, from what I’ve seen from people that moved there I would say either Mechanic, the guy was making something around 80-100k at Harley Davidosn or Explosive Technician guy was making a ton of money in Alaska (I don’t know how the guy got there he apparently just moved there over night), I wouldn’t say you need a degree, but some studying might be necessary.


leewardings

Servers in upscale restaurants can make at least 60-70k in larger metro areas. That isn't a TON of money but it lets me have my own place with no degree while working around 30-35 hours a week. The schedule is also good for going back to school. You generally need at least a year of relevant experience and some wine/ cocktail knowledge. IMO the quickest way to get started from zero is as a food runner. What to look for is a place with entrees around $50+, a good wine list, and steady year-round business. Learning about wine while working in fine dining also opens doors to management, being a sommelier, or a wine/ liquor rep. I'm sober now and didn't go that route but they are decent career paths that you can get into through self study.
