This title may be too vague but this is literally the first time I’ve ever posted to Reddit.

I’m 31 and I absolutely hate my job. It’s a mindless insurance job where the primary responsibility is essentially just data entry. I have been here for 4 years and have truly no motivation to move up in the company or move over to another department like billing or underwriting. The only reason I haven’t left already is because I truly have no clue what I want to do and what jobs I can even apply to that would take me with my varied work history.

Before this job in insurance I worked for about 3 1/2 years delivering meds for the specialty pharmacy and home infusion department of a large hospital in my city. Before that I worked 3 years in a large beverage warehouse putting together pallets. Before that I worked various part time menial labor jobs from the time I was 14.

I have a college degree in political science which means pretty much nothing to anyone other than the fact that I was able to graduate college. I don’t have any special qualifications or certificates in anything.

The ONLY thing I know is that I absolutely do not want to work in an office environment anymore. I also don’t really want to work from home either because I genuinely am less productive both at my job and in my personal life the more time I spend in my apartment. I’d absolutely enjoy traveling and I don’t really have anything or anyone tying me down. I’m fine with working with my hands but I can’t just jump from 48k a year back down to an apprentice pay.

Truly my biggest (and maybe my only asset) is that I am very much a people person. I also pick things up pretty quickly depending on what it is and I’m generally a pretty pleasant dude to work with and be around (at least from what people have told me). I’m just looking for some direction at this point. Suggestions from people who have known me for a significant amount of time vary so much that I have no clue where to even start. I’ve heard everything from long shore fisherman to car salesman to physical therapist. I’ve applied to some car dealerships but never heard anything back though.

Sorry if this is rambling.
