Most school districts farm out custodian and bus drivers to companies that pay lower wages.
In my county, the school districts usually hire bus drivers directly and provide training. They are ALWAYS hiring, but the jobs are usually only 20-25 hours per week.
Experience as in prior knowledge, or as in having worked at that job before?
If it's the former, one of them is computer/digital hacking. At panel for a Linux conference, they mentioned that that's one industry they wouldn't hiring more for, and people get promoted relatively quickly (compared to IT and related jobs). You can't just show up to the interview in a suit, saying in an enthusiastic way that you have a passion for hacking. You don't need to be an expert, but you need to be able to show you have some technical knowledge of it (so for example, you've tried doing it on your own, and had some successes, and failures to learn from). With the latter type of person, that's the type of person they're willing to take on to train.

In some circles, they check for that. IIRC, in Nevada (where prostitution's legal), women at brothels are required to get checked for STDs on some periodic basis (weekly, or monthly?)
Well for starters it would not be any kind of white collar work. It would mostly be construction, truck driving, working at Walmart and becoming a manager, etc.
Administrative Assistant. That's why it's considered a low-level job. You can have a useless degree and still be able to get an admin job because it's general office work. It's not specialized like marketing, accounting, engineering, nursing, etc. You just need soft skills like being detail oriented, organized, good with computers.
Sales. Companies hire salespeople and fire them if they don't perform properly. Many wash out with tiny commission checks, so they figure flipping burgers pays more.
I would go farther east. Plenty of opp around LA, TX coastal areas and up through TX and OK.
Oil Refineries, Railroads, Nat Gas Plants all hire people with zero experience and provide on the job training and many are capable of being >100K within a year or two.
Valero, BNSF, Union Pacific, Cheasapeake, BP, Exxon, Nustar, Tesoro, and many others.
Halliburton hires frequently in the North TX, OK area but they have their fingers in so many jars its no telling where you may wind up.
The railroads are a particularly good avenue if you are willing to relocate occasionally in western states.
With zero experience for what type of job and what about for people who are not millennials. The mainstream media thinks that the only people capable, deserving of training are millennials or recent immigrants in areas like the NYC metro area and greater Boston area
Anyone know of some decent careers that offer training before you start and don't really require any experience?
I know working in insurance claims and pest control is like that. Any others?
Plastic Mold injection Mold techs make $25 or so an hour, tool room workers $28-$30 an hour. The you can move to either "Process engineer" or "Industrial Engineer"

Where I live, they pay about $17 an hour FOR TRAINEES! $425 a week gross weekly. Not great, but you can get side drives which pay same rate and after 4-5 years you can bid up on other jobs. I'd go for it, but I don't care for kids...
Being an entitled millennial doesn't require a lot of experience.
