Do websites and social media for businesses. Charge $100-300 up front and then $10-20 a month for maintenance. Literally takes a few hours of effort to make the initial website and set up social media, sms services, email client lists etc... If you can get 100+ customers, you have enough passive income to never have to work again, and only the first few times are difficult after that you are just writing into templates and running scripts.

To note, I have no clue what career I'd even want to get into. I've spent most of my life as an introverted recluse (parents divorced and I moved 14 times by the time I was 16. No close friends except long-distance internet ones.)

As such I've wasted most of my life on the computer, though it has helped me develop decent literary skills as well as love for electronics and videogames (my passion, how original.)
I'm not fat thankfully, since I'm too energetic to sit still for too long. Little under average height, blonde, white, male, no tatts, don't smoke or drink, 164lbs last time I checked.

Don't know how to code, perform music, draw, or do anything exceptionally talented though. I can do very basic video editing using Sony Vegas.

Get some certifications. Do your research, take time to find the right one. For $100 you can get a forklift driving license and probably make 1/3 more income, for a couple hundred you could get some IT certs, which might be be a little riskier without experience, but also lead to a very nice income, there's also welding--there is a huge demand right now--rope access technician (do you not mind heights? there's money to be made), you could also get your level one CFA (financial analyst) with that money. A bank would probably take you on at something entry level with that cert. That's the best deal for your money though. You should also do something that is at least close to what interests you--if you like bitcoin, a finance certification would probably actually be quite interesting to you. Make sure you research and make sure you aren't spending money on something shitty. I would do forklift, then with your extra forklift money do IT or CFA.

Fellow introvert recluse with divorced parents here. I know what you mean about not knowing what to do. Kids get their identity through their parents, and going through childhood with constant negativity surrounding you programs that into your DNA. These evil cunts don't know how much harm they are doing to their own children, let alone the harm it does to society. I know man I've lived it too. What I'm coming to realize is you have to hate your parents and resolve to be the opposite of them. Not hate them in an emo mopey way, but in a way that disconnects your ego from them and the need to "fix" them. You can't fix the past, and you have every reason to be angry at your parents for being fuck ups. Use that energy to change and make solid goals and force yourself to do them.

Welcome to the adult life, where you have to figure stuff up on your own. Your grades and enthusiasm over certain subjects could point you towards a field you'd be good at. But that's it.

I bet you not a single person with 10 years work experience in this thread could guess their current job title when they graduated HS.

Wageslave mentality is true.
You think Ceos and business owners got anywhere with no risk taken?
Let's say biz throws together this great idea of a small startup for you to do with 1.5 k and there seem to be good chances of it being successful.
You probably wouldn't take the risk of the startup being successful and instead would ponder on other ways to make money.

The reality it is that you make calculated or educated risk and hope it turns out well or you make money slowly over a long period of time.
There isn't an in between.

Are you good looking OP? You can make some quick money as a male hooker. As long as you're not hideous, you could make much more in a half hour of easy sex work than a day's work at your shit wagecuck burger king job. I know you said you don't want to trade crypto, but if you can manage to make some money quick, it's worth it to at least invest some into crypto for the next 12 months. After that, maybe try some online freelance work. Obviously you're not tech-illiterate, so start by googling ideas for freelance jobs.

Whatever you decide to do, you need to understand that right now you have little income, few assets, few skills- you don't have much options, so you need to be willing to do things you don't want to do, until you've reached a certain level of success. Gradually improve your skills over time, come up with ideas, try different things- it will compound over time into success. Most importantly, start by changing your loser mentality

Just continue doing what you're doing, once you get older and brain and body fatigue, you'll inevitably settle into your manager job. You're already an expert in the field of lacking energy, creativity, and shooting down any and every good idea for the sake of being comfortable with current routine. Perect for the job.

You can get fafsa and go to school online somewhere like WGU and pay nothing until you graduate.

You're just making excuses for being a shitter

Work your way up to manager and do your job well.

Contrary to the rumor, it IS possible to earn a decent living as a fast food manager.

Unironically this.

Wageslave is the least risk, but also the least reward. Life is risks my friend, you will stay a wage slave because you have the mentality of a wageslave. Awaken yourself anon.

Lol I put $925 in crypto in December, jumped from Verge pump to the TRX pump and now have 9k after the crash. You're a filthy fucking loser

You dun the right thing young man. Crypto IS risky. One day after raking in massive 100x gains, all these deluded fags might take a -10% hit. Steer clear at all costs. Best stick to playing sportsball betting games or lotteries.

you probably wont respond but the best "investment" is in yourself... use the 1.5k and go to a CC... do the two year course and transfer out to a university.. Work at burger king at the same time. CC classes arent that hard.. Go to a university on student loans. After you get your degree find a nice job start making some real money. DESU if you dont think you can do it or think college is too expensive then you dont believe in yourself... stay working at burger and be a poor fuck

Jacksonville native here, how can you not afford FSCJ? Last I checked it's around 100 a credit hour. Have you looked in to FAFSA? And car wouldn't matter with how close you probably are to downtown campus. Bike or JTA?

You are an asset just like anything else. And OP has clearly shown that he's a low quality asset, so why should he invest in himself? He should invest in other, more successful people.

Harsh but true.

Everything is a Risk.
Right now you are betting that the safe route works better then the risky one.
Thats what normies do.
Dare take calculated risks OP, its how you become a strong individual.

Alright, after reading the thread I have a few things to say. You sound very similar to me. Physically it's frightening similar since I share the same exact weight and description, though I'm 5'11. My family was much more stable than yours growing up, but I was also a computer-attached introvert INTJ who grew up on 4chan and had no idea what I was doing after high school - and still don't 8 years later. But I have a stable job with good pay that I only hate half of the time, and am already debt free with roughly 30k invested here and there for retirement (yes, some in crypto as well). So based on all that you may or may not feel what I have to say is more or less meaningful.

One, you are not cut out for the military or law enforcement based on what you're conveying here. I considered both of those as well, but if you are risk averse those paths are about as risky as you can get, and lose a great deal of personal freedom, which seems important to you based on a lack of any strong commitments. Two, just take the loans and go to FSCJ for IT or other certifications. If the only thing you are doing right now is working at that shitty BK downtown then going to school again would help you out mentally by leagues. Three, network while you are at FSCJ. Infinitely more valuable than the degree or certs. I got my AA there and have several friends who got or are getting their IT degree from there and it's a good school. Four, try and move in somewhere with roommates if possible. The money you'll save that way will be a big help. If you go to school it'll be easy to find some potential people to live with, especially in places like san marco/riverside/avondale if that's your scene. Tons of young people moving over there. Fifth, don't feel like you have to plan everything out right now. Start with school even if you don't have a good idea of what's after. I didn't expect to have the job I do, and don't expect to stay in it forever. But it's a good launchpad.
