I'm a cashier, and at this rate will probably be one my entire life.
What are some of the easiest certifications, licenses, and other fancy qualifiers I can obtain without college so I can change my fate? I have 5k saved back and i'm willing to dump some of that for training though. I don't really have passion for anything so anything's fine as long as it pays more than 16k a year. Can't do truck driving as i'm night blind or I already would.
Union work and apprenticeships.

If all else fails you could go to community college for about $2k / year
Study for the ASVAB and join the armed forces
