I quit my job in food service at the end of January and had enough money to float me for a little while. I quit because I was essentially being bullied by a manager, but it was a family owned business so I knew she wasn't going anywhere even if I took action. I just saved up some money to float me for a while and cut my losses. I've got about a month's worth of savings left before my floating money runs out.
My question is, what are some jobs that I can get right now that aren't in the food industry? I'm essentially a NEET, in a way. I've got about 4 years of work under my belt but it's all been stuff you could do while in high school (I'm 23 now). I just don't want to fall into the restaurant trap a third time in a row. Can someone throw out some suggestions for something I could do that pays alright and isn't restaurant work? I'd prefer it to not be retail as well but honestly I'll take what I can get at this point, outside of food. I tried to get some state jobs but all of them failed and nothing about my resume has changed since so I'm reluctant to try again, but I still will. Please help, I really don't want to go back to food but I don't know where to go from here.
Just basic info, I have a GED and was too poor to go to college.

Keep looking for state jobs
Thinking about trade school (no I don't have money excuses please)

Like I said, I have a little money still in reserve. I just wanna get off the unemployed ride before the money runs out. I'd be more than willing to spend some teachings. On that note, what's a quick one to finish to get a job asap, or what's one that will guarantee a decent income, even if it takes a little longer?

Try getting some other skills under your belt. If you're even a little computer literate look up the A+ exam, it'll get your foot in the door for I.T. work.

You're not in a position to be choosy right now. Apply to everything you can even if your qualifications don't match up 100%, but don't exclude restaurant based work.
After that point you can continue looking for work and being more demanding in what you want. Have you considered bar-tending btw?

I just don't want to get stuck in food again.. My last 3 jobs have been food and I feel like my age is beginning to make a bigger and bigger difference every day. I'm 23 and my only job outside of food has been this temp job with a moving company but it was paid under the table so I don't know if I should even write that down.
Ultimately I know it's my fault because I should have been training to do better things when I did have a job but I just pissed the time away, but boy do I feel like a dud these days.
Also someone had mentioned it to me once before but I live pretty close to uni so there's plenty of girls of age, and most of the bartenders around here are girls and/or will only hire girls. I'm more than willing though. Gonna look into it.
