This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unless Anon is willing to put in some serious work, like properly going back to school or busting their ass learning (and getting good at) a trade, then their life is kinda fucked.

You can't just crawl out of almost 20 years of NEETing into really any kind of job, especially without the charisma to at least try masking it.

Also fuck knows why Anon's parents just let them drop out of school and basically cease to exist outside of playing videogames for best part of two decades. That's plain bad parenting.

There is one possible route he could go.

CDL truck driving is totally possible for someone with no ties to an area like kids or wife to do what he's asking.

You gotta be able to learn the trade, but there are schools that invite companies in to sponsor the training and then you work for 1 or 2 years for that company before you can quit it or go owner operator (without penalty, you can leave whenever and pay them for the schooling).

After that you can make 6 figs easily with otr flatbed, tanker, car hauler, etc.

The only difference for his life style is his house will get smaller and he has to drive for 11 hrs a day.
