Certifications or Skills I can get to start me off?

I work full time as a CNA and I plan on going to school to get my prerequisites for Nursing school done. During that time I’m going to utilize the fact that I can become phlebotomy and QMA certified while getting those done, which gets me a couple extra dollars at work.

However, that won’t be for another couple of months as my main focus is saving up for a vehicle and paying off my debts.

I’m picking up extra shifts at work in the meantime, and can’t really afford to pick up a second job since I’m 1 person of 5 in my household and between the 5 of us, 3 of us have full time jobs, 1 has a part time, and 1 is a full time student, all sharing 2 vehicles.

I’m open to taking online courses and paying a bit of money upfront to start out. I’m looking into possibly copywriting, bookkeeping, and proofreading since they seem reasonably flexible and doable. I’m a decent baker, not against selling some baked goods on the side for some extra cash.

I am not the most handy, but I am not against learning how to be handy.

DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, GoPuff in my area aren’t the most profitable. Ive done them all, it wasn’t worth the gas money, i lost money more times than not doing them.

Any ideas you’ve got, I’m open to hearing. Like I said I’m not against putting down some money to get started, I’m not against learning how to get handy and getting my hands dirty, just wanting to see if anyone out there may have an idea I haven’t heard or thought of yet. Thanks

Tips on getting urine out of shoes??

Long story short, 400ml of yellow spilled on my shoe because I’m dumb and knocked over the urinal while draining a cath. Any tips on getting it out?

Needing a new vehicle and there is this 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with the 4.0 V6 engine for around $8k in pretty nice condition. it's within my budget and a truck would be nice for the winters over here in the midwest. Age isn't a concern for me, older vehicles in great condition sometimes perform better than newer ones, but I know that this specific engine and model have a lot of transmission issues. I want to know if anyone here has, or knows, anyone with one of these and if they're as rough on the wallet as they say. Seen a lot of good and a lot of bad said about these so I'm hesitant about getting it. Anything is appreciated, thanks
