as an aside, here’s a fun thread from awhile ago by someone else: What are some underrated careers/jobs?
p.s. leaving this open-ended per community theme, we can get into specifics in comments!

Find yourself a job where you meet lots of people. This will make it easier to find a better job
Which kinds did you have in mind? Some that occur to me have far too brief interactions (or times to interact) to invite those opportunities.
I got a job as a beer rep because I fixed the supervisors wife’s phone.
Food server/bartender jobs come to mind. Not only do you meet a lot of people but they often are repeat customers. People would rather hire someone they are familiar with than a stranger off the street and it helps if they see you have a good work ethic. If you are like me and don’t have a college degree don’t underestimate qualities you may have that will work for you. Just by showing up with a positive attitude and being trustworthy puts you ahead. Every job I’ve had in adulthood came by word of mouth and they have all been small businesses. The job I wouldn’t recommend is a factory job. They often will pay a couple of bucks more and seem ideal if you don’t want to deal with the public but you won’t meet many people besides your coworkers unless you work the dock. I hope this helps, good luck
Hardware/home improvement store loader. If you bother to learn about a department and help customers load their shit the tradesmen and contractors will offer you a job on the spot. At least in my experience.
Bonus points if you drive a fork lift.
