Do one of two things career wise: either become a journeyman electrician or get a bachelors degree in a tech field from Western Governors University.

Why?

I have attended several colleges and also finished trade school and know every career choice that exists first hand.

Electrician is by far the highest paying and easiest trade, allows you to start your own business, and has the best union in the country (IBEW). You don't even have to go to trade school, you can literally start training on the job without any experience.

WGU allows you to get your bachelors degree remotely, learn only practical skills without any DIEversity courses, and costs a fraction of what you would pay at an IRL college. To save even more money, you can get most courses done at Sofia Learning or similar platforms for virtually nothing and individual certs (CompTIA, etc.) and then transfer all credits over. You can literally have a bachelors degree in a highly valued tech field for $5000 within 2 years from a prestigious college. Starting salaries in the offered specializations are $90,000.

You can, just not at Fortune 500 companies. But any small company doesn’t have money to waste and hire on merit

I'd need to move to another county, not just city.

Well why don't you just become a meth head living in a box under a bridge then.

Lol yes, those are the only 2 options. Electrician or meth.

Serious question: what else are you going to do?

If you're going to fight, you need skills and resources and becoming an Electrician is a good way to get both.

If you aren't going to fight, you may as well do meth under a bridge.

What's your third position?

I was in IT for 20 years, good pay, and looked at WGU. I had higher carts so I would have been able to accelerate the degree. Here was my problem. I was never once asked about my education in interviews. I was only asked to explain protocols and routing and switching shit. In IT you can make 6 figures without any education. If you have zero experience, go work at Best Buy and start moving your career. I only have a two year technical degree, but worked a lot after hours to get certs and was making 6 figures. Buddy didn’t even finish middle school did the same thing
