I'm an adult and I am dying to have my first job right now. Problem is that I don't have any work skills and it will still take a year to practice these skills. I have no time, I need a job now. Unfortunately, my main motivation for a job is money to spend and also better luck at finding a partner. I don't drive or anything else much. What do I do now? How do I begin assessing myself?

When for any reason I'm not using my car, my bikes are my cars. Compared to any other commute options, unless you know you need a car to cover distance or handle weather there's nothing cheaper. That's a factor of fuel savings alone, so learning to enjoy a fast bike or nine pays off no matter what you spend on the bikes, just also spend on locks!

I've generally just bike commuted within or strictly outside my city, otherwise I drive or use buses. Rather than gigs like retail, waitstaff or really anything corporate I like sticking to really basic, decent-paying side jobs when I'm not focused on technology - just try and pick something you already know or are sure anyone could learn. I mean at some point in your life you must have gardened, painted something or considered trading in some interest of yours...
