Construction but thats hard work and you can have real shortages of work sometimes.
If you are not a felon, or have any mental or health issues you can join the Army. I went in when I was 21.
Look into the rules for becoming a process server in your state. Often times, it only takes a few months (and no experience/college education) at the most to get into that profession, but be prepared to have a reliable vehicle and run around town a bit if you want to make some real money. Also, becoming a notary public is cheap and quick, as well as a nice addition to your process server certification/license.
t. Notary/Server making 60-70 grand per year

Try moving to a fancier restaurant. Steak houses are a good step up. The tips are better and you can rake in more dough.
Or you can do warehouse work for a retail distribution center. Those places usually pay 12-15 an hour.

If you don't mind working a ton of hours and you live in the right area, oilfield work is good for quickly saving up a good chunk of money. If you live in an area where the industry is stable, you can make a career of it. Also, not all oilfield work is hard. I did water transfer for 9 months, made a lot of money, and in those 9 months, put in about as much actual work as I put in in couple weeks at my old job doing overnight stocking. And I was brought on with zero experience.
