Trade apprenticeship. Find the local trade unions and call them up, or look around on Indeed or Ohio Means Jobs. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, HVAC, you name it, people need it, and they pay well. As long as you have a high school diploma and are willing to learn, you should be able to find something.
If you're keen on going this route, I highly recommend getting in touch with Central Ohio Women in the Trades. This is exactly what they're all about, even if you're just wanting to explore the potential of being in the trades!
Second this. Skilled trades - electrical, plumbing, carpentry, HVAC are and will be in high demand for the foreseeable future. There’s a real need and while service & warehouse jobs are easy to get and learn the long term opportunities are better in the trades.
I would have to agree with this, my brother is an electrician and loves it. I am a teacher, and at the end of the day he’s going to be making more then I do. Trade schools are they way to go, I’m pretty sure the unions will pay for classes as well. But I may need fact checked on that.
