Without going to college/trade school how does someone land one of those good jobs? Not dead end stuff like food/retail like a good job

I have no desire to go to school because im too old for that shit and can't afford it as is. My whole life has been spent in dead end land aka food and retail. How do i get out and land a good job? I feel like im qualified to do nothing no matter how hard i job hunt or browse the postings theyre never looking for someone like me or if i shoot my shot and try i never hear back or am instantly rejected

Not sure what your definition of a good job is.
But most career type jobs require knowledge and experience first.

Then it's often a case of it's not [i]what[/i] you know rather than [i]who[/i] you know.

@Picklebobble2 To me a good job is a career that people approve of when they hear it. It has a 401k and pays well and offers benefits. Something you're proud of telling people you do for a living.
