Definitely save up money to move out of state. Baristas get like 20-24 in Boston and if you work at Taco Bell you get 18

Try FedEx or Amazon or a big warehouse place. They pay well and don’t give a damn about experience or anything at all

his blue collar job, he didn't go to college so he's working full time but that company has no way of being promoted or getting a decent raise. he's looking for a job that pays better but it's been difficult w/o a degree for him

he has a learning disability so school was really hard, and he prefers to work with his hands so blue collar is what he enjoys doing
