are there any decent paying jobs that are pretty much just manual

Check the local chicken plant and apply to work a forklift.

Construction if you think you can get a manager position.

Lowes / Home Depo if you think you can get a manager position.

any kind of specific education needed for those? thanks for the quick reply.

Obvious answers:

Anything dangerous/miserable where no one wants to be.

For example
Gold Mining in Alaska
Fishing in Alaska
Deep Sea welding (potentially in Alaska. could be a trend here...)

oh geez. i dunno about that stuff but i'll keep it in mind should i find myself in alaska for some reason. i kinda figured that jobs like this would only be the really shitty miserable ones.

None. High School or GED.

my uncle does the forklift thing for Perdue and he makes good money for being uneducated as hell. (also has good insurance and dental / eye)

Perdue is your place if you got one nearby.

did a quick search, seems like there arent any near me but ill keep that in mind, thanks.

maybe itll help a bit more if i add some more context. op here. 19 year old freshman in community college, taking a computer art degree. currently debating whether i should keep trying to pursue this dream of working on video games, or just say fuck it and find a different path. honestly im really not good enough at anything right now, and i waste way too much of my time doing other things that dont help me. im also getting in to archery casually too. im kinda trying to decide if i should keep going with these two things, getting better at them to try and make a living off em somehow, or just kinda give up and seek a simpler job somehow. i dunno if im overthinking this or not, but im in a weird spot right now. thanks for all the advice so far everyone

Work at UPS. Be a package handler first and then see if you want to be a driver. UPS has some great insurance too. I make $14 an hour just for stacking boxes. Great workout, and you dont deal with people that much. Get as many hours as you want. Give it a look, if UPS is not available look into Fedex or Amazon

Roofing is perhaps the highest-paying labor job. Tough as hell though. Not for the faint of heart.
