Dog walking.

Contact your local church and ask to be baptised in the closest body of water with a priest and an assistant. Then have your dad pay for a PMI PMP certification bootcamp online ($500-2K), finish the course, pass the test, get certified, then apply for jobs in Washington DC (an untapped market for project managers, also apply for positions in Amazon HQ2) most will offer virtual work. Move to Northern VA once you get a job, and be sure to thank the Lord for the blessing, and attend church/mass once the economy opens back up.

Try the military. I know, not an "office job", but it will get you out of your miserable "lyft" existence.

There are plenty of military admin mos that would provide free training and you would be paid to do it. Most admin people don't go out into "the field" at all; it would be a pure "office job" although you would have to participate in P.T. every day.

With Covid19, not sure if the traditional office job will be as strong as it was.

OP, did anyone ever ask you when you were little "What do you want to be when you grow up?". What do you want to be? What are your interests? Do you have any post high school education?

You have a narrowing window for enlisting in the military, moving away from home, developing some discipline and skills under a structure, and using all of the above to go to school for 2-3 years to complete a degree.

Agree. You don't have to be infantry. There are a lot of positions in the military. You can do logistics, etc. Then come back to civilian life and work in Supply Chain Management.

Excellent idea. The staff positions are low paid, but management positions do well.
