Still no luck :(

Not unless people suddenly need someone that can read maps or simply knows history. Those are like the only skills that I have and it's like the only things I'm good at.

Take your time to think about it. I only recently thought to do the electronics repair awhile ago as I was repairing my own Playstation 3, and it occurred to me that I should buy broken electronics, fix them, and sell them. You could try writing a history book, but it is nefariously difficult to brake through in writing and make any sort of decent money.

Actually I think I found a trade that I may be able to do and learn. I like to look into being a Sterile Processing Technician. 

Cool! That's something I'll definitely be needing once I start piercing and tattooing.

Thats cool and gives you something to aim for in the short term - time to chat to *all* the places that need sterile implements (beauty parlours, and dentists too). AFAIK the tattoo/piercing business is really inclusive - you may have found a niche for you! well done

With tattoos and piercing, like anywhere else, it heavily depends on the parlor. They do tend to be more inclusive, but there are those that cater to more exclusivist clients. But typically they are places with workers and clients who are judged themselves, and it is a practice that is based in body modifications and decorating and adjusting your body as you see fit.

I just need to figure out how to get past having no "hospital experience" since my local hospital won't hire me for the sterile processing tech position cause I don't have any even though the application stated the only qualifications needed was a high school diploma.

Well that's a bust back to the drawing board.... I guess....

Are you still living with the folks at this point? You mentioned not having hospital experience. Does that mean you'd be able to stomach work at a hospital? If your state has volunteer fire departments with ambulances, I'd look into them. The ambulance company I ran with as a volunteer paid for me to get an EMT license with all the required schooling, which would have allowed me to get a job in the field. That was in northern Virginia. I was fine with just volunteering though. Being an EMT doesn't pay very much, but it's at least a foot in the door and it pays more than not having a job.

Yeah still stuck at home.

I take having hospital experience meant if I worked at a hospital or something close otherwise I can definitely stomach working in a hospital the sight of blood doesn't bother me one bit.

Wouldn't mind being at EMT but I wouldn't be able to pass the courses there's a reason I got my two year degree in general studies.

From the looks of it I'll have to pick something else..... Just don't know what else there is around where I live and I can't relocate.
