Do you have any useful skills of talents?

Yeah but nothing that hugely stands out. I've always been a pretty creative person always trying to think of ideas n shit.
I am good at music. I'm good at writing and grammar, as I study professional communication/journalism/public relations. I'm good with social media and making websites and things with computers in general...

Yeah sounds like youve got fuck all going for you.
Find an unskilled job (It sounds like you definetly need some money), work in this unskilled job for a year. During that year you should be absorbing and learning everything about the industry.
Leave said job and start up your own business doing the same thing, but with a slight twist, or better organised or cheaper.
Theres a guy who frequents this board alot who did this and started a cleaning business.
Dont go trying to be too creative and thinking youre some gifted and talented entrepreneur, because I can tell you right now that you arent.

do you have an interest in programming? If so
1) Learn a useful programming language online
2) Build a github portfolio of interesting projects
3) Make a clean resume with all of these projects listed and apply to positions that seem like good fits
4) Study, practice, and nail the interview
5) Congrats, you have a job that pays well!

Not really. I'm ok with computers, but nothing of IT standards
>>
>>1553812
What fucking projects?

Have you made it yet, OP?
>>
>>1553812
This seems like your best bet to be honest, I would just teach yourself Python or something really simple. Definitely do this.

I had an idea. I'm currently working on a bunch of social media accounts that share random stuff and will all link to one website. And hopefully just get a shit load of traffic and make money from ads and stuff?
