Any advice for landing a job in live music or recording

Hey so i’m 17 in chicago and music / guitars / tours etc are my entire life. i go to concerts weekly, local venues, big shows, follow bands around on tour etc.

I want to get into the field for work but i have no experience and no real skill and don’t know where to start. Does anyone have any advice, like can i become a stage hand somewhere and keep learning and developing skills and become more useful and go up a ladder? I have general knowledge about schedules, tours, shows, stage design, guitar pedals and amps and am physically fit to load or unload equipment, etc.

Does anyone work at the amphitheater or know how the pit works

I have pit tickets up front but they didn’t tell me anything. does anyone know if they give you a wristband and it’s separate entrance or you just walk down the stairs like seats? please thanks

Any advice upper day

17M 155lb 5ft10 skinny fat i feel very weak. progress is slowing alot i’ve been at the same reps on preacher curls for 4 sessions now. i take everything to failure or 1 in reserve. U/L 6x a week 3x frequency

I went from 6x90lb incline press 2 weeks ago at the start of my session to 4x90 then today i only got 3 for 90 so im lowering the weight back to 70lb but thats what i was doing 2 months ago so it just feels like a huge loss. i dont know why progress is so slow and stalling i sleep good and eat a lot of preworkout carbs

is my excerise selection and ordering good? my triceps are the most lacking muscle without a doubt but if i hit them first then all chest movements suffer, and i also hate hitting them. I tried JM press and V bar pushdowns but nothing ever feels good it’s like my triceps are non existent they don’t even get pumped or anything. my long head hasn’t grown anything at all visibly in 6 months of lifting so i switched to cuffed cable extensions full ROM almost like a JM press.

17 - highschool dropout in lower middle class. family is worth nothing

Yeah well i just don’t know what to do. it’s scary and sad actually can anyone give me some real advice? i’ll answer any questions if it will help. but for some context - here

I dropped out by ACCIDENT at 14 years old. i live in the midwest united states. my dad makes $70k a year but he’s a gambling addict with a lot of bills so it’s basically nothing.

I’m homeschooled but i don’t know how to do it and i don’t want to go to college since i don’t have enough time to pass 4 years of highschool in a year and be ready.

Do i just have to get a minimum wage job and save my money? i have no inheritance lined up or anything !!

I have no skills no bank account, id, friends, opportunities or anything. we have just enough money to pay the house and buy food and that’s it really. i only touch a few $200-300 a month

10 - 12 - 14 - 16 - 17

approx bmi changes 40 - 40 - 35 - 29 - 21 (currently)

My parents did not really try on me as a kid and i didn’t realize that till i was 16. I now eat real food, lift, brush my teeth and wash my face like a normal person. it’s pretty sad i could be so much further right now in everything. i expect to look dramatically better in another 10 months to a year when more time gets under my belt of training and dieiting
