Long story short, I'm a fuck up. Many would call me a manchild, but I don't play games or do drugs, so I dunno. Fact is, I was an almost big league singer/songwriter back in the early 2010s, and life was fucking grand, but I now live with my parents at 30 years old as a divorcee with a daughter I haven't met and child support due each month, unemployed.
My only skills are in faggy acoustic guitar, and I ran a hotel for a year but couldn't hack it.
My CS is set at $340 a month, and I couldn't even live with min wage and make it.
Positive thing is I own house I'm moving into but make payments on the lot (trailer fml) at $300 per month. Other expenses are car @ $300, bills @ $200, and food, so grand total of like ~$1300+ per month to barely barely scrape by.
I have no idea what to do to live, much less be able to afford a lawyer to set up visitation with my daughter.
If this is not the place to ask for help then feel free to delet

I want to meet my daughter and be a good dad, so stable income, steady hours, decent money, but I don't want to get into something that will fuck me down the line, plus running hotels is the peak of faggotry so I'd like something more skill based, if possible.
>>10634984
How do you find those jobs? I tried searching for like "construction" but there was nothing. I guess maybe I need to look into like DoT and the like.
I've only ever worked dumb minimum wage jobs and worked my way up to management before now; I have no idea how to get into anything other than service shit

Yeah my credit is fucked and my wages are about to be garnished for nonpayment of student loans though. I can't pay for tuition on top of regular bills or that's the route I'd go. Biggest regret is not doing so from the beginning.

If you’re gonna work for the state there are tons of cushy as fuck office jobs out there paying $25,000. Or you can pour concrete for $25,000. Up to you really. Good trade jobs want formal training and certifications.

I tried but nothing came of it. I applied for a landscaper and for garbage collection and got to the interview on both but no call back.
I also applied to be a security guard at the pedo prison in my town but nothing either.
That's another thing, I live in a small town of like ~5,000 and there's not much of anything here, but I own my house, which is a trailer so hard to sell, so I have to stay, I think.
I could travel 30 miles to a city and work, like I did for the hotel, but the same thing tends to happen: no call back. I used to get every job I applied for but then when my wife left me 4 years ago I got deep into self pity and worked a string of jobs for no more than 9 months each, except for that hotel, so maybe that scares off employers, too.
Maybe I should try working for the state like >>10635165
suggested.

Drive for Uber if you can afford a car, its easy to make money on it and theres lots of tax benefits to being an independent contractor. I barely do 12 hours a week ubering and make 350-400 a week. Also post link to music larp

if you don't want to degrade yourself OP, move back in w/ parents and rent your house out, or sell it and buy a duplex somewhere else.

you gotta get yourself and your shit in order, then you can focus on seeing your daughter.

I own the faggiest of all cars: a fortwo. One of those smart cars. Got it for like $3000 under kellybluebook from a family member, for the gas mileage it gets, but Uber won't accept anything but 4 door. Will look into solidity though.

Gas mileage, nigga. I seriously don't give a fuck what people think of me, but didn't think I'd get the level of hate I get when driving it. People assume I'm a lefty when I'm driving it, even though I unironically advocate for gassing all kikes.

What's wrong with hotels. It's one of the few industries that promotes from within and doesn't demand an education. Your experience would be easily transferable across the world, and the pay for management isn't bad. It's stressful af at times and can have crazy hours, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Yeah, I know. It was $3,000 less than kellybluebook, which is why I got it. $4,000 for a car with <30k miles and 45 MPG is a good deal. I know it's faggy.

It's my own fault and desu I'm ashamed of faggy it was, but the money would be nice. And yeah one of them is on one of Selena Gomez' albums now lol

They're censoring all rightwing stuff unless you mean for music, but they style I used to write in isn't popular anymore at all, and I want to get into something more stable and respectable.
>>10635639
I only lasted a year and didn't do very well. My numbers were great but the housekeeping niggers wouldn't listen to me at all, and when I fired them I got called racist. I've tried to apply at other hotels when they've had AGM or GM positions open, but I'm pretty sure my old RGM gives me a shit reference. It was plan A for the first year after leaving the place I was managing, but my only choice now would be to just leave off my experience and work my way up at another hotel, which is viable, except for the whole needing money to live and only getting ~$8-$9 an hour as a front desk clerk
