The employment office here is now called the Work Force Center. They do a lot of counselling on making career choices based on your needs, experience, desires, etc. PLUS they offer many free courses, esp. computer courses, so that one may qualify for more types of jobs. So, maybe your local employment office would be helpful in that way, too.

The other thing to consider is subscribing to the Caretaker Gazette and see what's in there. They are not all just caretaker positions. They are listings mostly in the US, but also from other countries and some sound pretty darned interesting....might be just the thing to get you out of your parents, learn some other type of skills, etc. We don't have any recent copies, but I could PM you some examples of one from about a year ago when our subscription lasped, if you'd like. Just let me know.

Good luck,
