Two ways
1) do dodgy shit door to door sales or phone sales. Do disgusting hours for shit money. Grind your way up until you've got a proper job.
2) go get a technical degree or hustle your way into a technical job. Express interest in a customer facing role. This transition will be easy as technical people are rarely interested in sales/account management roles.

I did the first way because I'm too shit at university and can handle shitty sales jobs. Now I'm in my early twenties and make twice as much as my uni mates. If you're academically gifted and socially savvy definitely go the second route.

Good luck

I won't make bank with my very limited capacity to invest/gamble into it, but it would be great if I were to get some lucky streak to kickstart some finances; see if I can reapply to university again or otherwise gain some skills to find a part-time non-shit job.

If you want to make bank in construction, you have two options:

1. Go into construction management for a large general contractor. Start as a project/field engineer ($55-65k) and work your way up to project manager ($120k+). Long hours and very stressful, but if you are good, you will make a lot of money. It typically requires a 4-year degree.

2. Start your own contracting company. This is where most tradespeople make it. It requires you to be skilled at your trade and skilled at business, but the amount of money you can make is only limited by you.

Good luck.

The furniture I refinish or repair, then sell on etsy or a couple of local markets. Clothing and sopas, I use my own website for each. At the moment they're both based on bigcartel via a custom domain because the fees are good and I haven't got round to outright building my own.

As for marketing, the clothing is oriented towards fans of two relatively popular indie bands, who I know personally, so they more or less do the social outreach for me. The soaps and stuff, I market at small-scale cosmetic/craft fairs, and I've dished out freebies to a bunch of instagram personalities in exchange for a few posts here and there. Late next year/early 2019, I'd like to open a small retail store in my town, since it's full of the sort of girls/middle-aged women who eat this shit up.

That's the issue. I do have an idea for the industry I am in that could be a game changer. Need to find someone who can develop it for me.
