Am I like missing something here or why is it so hard to find any help with being employed? What am I supposed to do, just sign up for a random education program and hope I get lucky after 2-4 years? Or am I supposed to get desperate enough to commit crime and then get jailed, where I do some low skill manual labor for 1/2 the minimum wage?
If you’re unemployed then volunteering at a union can pretty quickly land you a gig and even become a career after a few years.
It’s the kind of gig where showing up and being reliable, as a volunteer, can turn into something. It might take a couple of years but if you’re un/under-employed then why not do it?
You could probably just turn up and ask them what needs to be done. You probably won’t get paid for a while, easily a couple of years, but also they probably have stuff like a book shop that needs volunteer hours which can become helping out in the office and in five years time you’re inspecting work sites.
Worst case scenario, you do some good for free.
