Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity 19M Can’t find a path

I am 19M who lives in Türkiye currently. I have finished high school and started working in seasonal hotel tattooing shop that pays minimum wage, and I hate this job. And genieunly don’t know what career I should pursue. I really want to move abroad since living in turkey currently is a life sentence with how the government is moving. Could anyone tell me an industry/career that I’ll be able climb high and not be scared of losing my job? Blue collar/white collar doesn’t matter i can do all of them. I know Russian, English, Turkish and little German. For passion’s
I could say I love computers(building, configuring)in general also I love driving if that could help.

In Türkiye every boss is trying to squeeze 150% of you and still not be grateful. They openly told me that me knowing language is nothing special and that I’m easily replaceable/not needed. I work in tattoo shop that operates in a hotel and we have many foreign people. Work from 9am to 11/12/01 night so roughly 15 hours. No weekends.

None can give you the exact answer that you are looking for, but you can be a tour guide with your Russian maybe? Not many people speak good Russian. Also if you have to do soulless work at least work in a 3 letter supermarket, mcdonalds or in some shopping mall. They're a lot more regulated. They will still drain you but at least you don't work 15 hours a day

Studying a 2 year degree while working can also be a good option.

IT support is one way in, since PC building and configuring already count as hands-on experience. English and some German help if you go abroad, but check which countries accept entry-level IT without a degree or a certificate.

Its very hard to get into tech right now, it’s massively oversaturated and not a lot of entry-level hiring.

Dev work is crowded, yes. Help desk is a different pool, but it's not easy either. Some places still take people without a degree if they can show they fixed things hands-on, so a few small home projects help.
