Can u suggest a job for my traits?

Ogionik, really, I don't think it matters what work you decide to do. The main thing is to & get started on the best option that's available to you. (I imagine finding a job in the current economic climate will not necessarily be easy.) Then stick with the job long enough to get somewhere. If I may be a bit blunt, you spend a lot of time thinking of things you might do. A short while ago you were seriously contemplating travelling the world. If you can get yourself motivated to get out there & find work & hold down a job for a time, that'd be making progress! Even if you move onto something else eventually.

Don't you have a love of dogs? What about dog trainer?

I met a woman last week who makes a living solely by walking other people's dogs during the day while they are at work.

Job Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Job Corps is a no-cost education and vocational training program administered by the Office of the United States Secretary of the Department of Labor. It serves youth, ages 16 through 24. Job Corps offers career planning, on-the-job training, job placement, residential housing, food service, driver's education, health and dental care, a bi-weekly basic living allowance and clothing allowance. Some centers offer childcare programs for single parents as well.[1] Esther R. Johnson was appointed national director of the Office of Job Corps on March 24, 1964.[2]

Since its inception in 1964, under the Economic Opportunity Act, Job Corps has provided more than two million[citation needed] young people with the integrated academic, vocational, and social skills training they need to gain independence and get quality, long-term jobs or further their education. Job Corps continues to help 60,000 youths annually at 123 Job Corps and Civilian Conservation Centers throughout the country.[3]

Besides vocational training, all Job Corps centers also offer GED programs as well as high school diplomas and programs to get students into college. Job Corps provides career counseling and transition support to its students for up to one year after they graduate from the program.

History

The Job Corps was initiated as the central program of the Johnson Administration's War on Poverty, part of his domestic agenda known as the Great Society. Sargent Shriver, the first Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, modeled the program on the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Established in the 1930s as an emergency relief program, the CCC provided room, board, and employment to thousands of unemployed young people. Though the CCC was discontinued after World War II, Job Corps built on many of its methods and strategies.

What happened to college? Didn't you want to apply for a community college?
Frankly, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're a diligent worker,
responsible and show up on time every day, and I mean every day! If you
have mastered these simple tasks that are expected of just about every worker,
you can decide what you want to do - until such time, there aren't many
job opportunities available for you!
