The OP's writing skills are far below average, can't stand kids and, has a crummy "everything sucks except me" attitude is what I got from reading only this thread.

Lifeadviser, fix yourself. Even though you say you already went back the way you came, that place and, every place you go, is gonna "suck" because of your mopey-dopey attitude.

I’ve worked at some dirty and nasty jobs including washing clothes from the morgue from the country i lived in thee sheets were covered in blood and other stuff that comes from the human body, I’ve washed clothes from the country jail that had notes on the bags that said crabs. The job i retired from after 30 long years was a 200,000 sq ft warehouse we’re i fell 20 feet to the ground from on top of a pallet rack broke 2 ribs and cracked my right kneecap. So to here that this lazy op can’t find a job just make my blood pressure go crazy, there are jobs out there making any kind of money is better than making no money. The work ethic today stinks everyone wants to start out at the top if not then they rather not work. I always had a job from the age of 15 yrs old and I was 55 when I retired, so with all the jobs I’ve done I’ve worked close to 40 years.

Can you give us more information about your skills, education, something so we know more about you?

The military would be a great option as well.
I Was told the military would be a bad choice at my age (28) I Only have a high school diploma. I Think my problems stems from my employment gaps. They are more than six months (Can't get work).

OP, apparently that type work is beneath you. Oh, well.
Sounds like something out of a movie. ��

I will offer a few suggestion.

Be aware of which words get capitalized in the middle of sentences.

Use commas after the words "and" or, "or".

Apostrophes are used in a possessive context. If you are going to call us "meanie's" it is without the apostrophe, like "meanies". An "s" without an apostrophe in front of it means it is plural.

Example:
"Wang's" means something belongs to a guy named Wang.
"Wangs" means there are several Wangs.

Their, means the following word is something that belongs to them.
They're, is a contraction for "they are", as in "...they're really good at this."
There, is in reference to a location. "Where is the john?" "It's right over there."

Way; the route you use to go to a place.
Weigh; as in "This is heavy, how much does this weigh?"
Whey; a type of protein.

Also, the Military is not bad at age 28. If you're willing to run far and, push hard, you can get ahead. It can change you for the better.

Never knew that. The rest I knew for the most part.

Thanks stranger

You're welcome.

I am a hothead but, I do try to offer tips.

Also, you might think saying "Thank you", asking for advice and, actually heeding it are standard things but, that actually puts you ahead of some people nowadays.

You're alright.

No, not in the least.

I was once talking to an acquaintance some years ago, and it came up in the conversation that she was entering a mentorship program.

Considering that this person has always been a bit scatterbrained, with few discernible skills and developmentally stunted from a professional standpoint, not to mention financially illiterate (although she's gotten better about that in the past few years), I found myself silently asking the question, "This mentorship program...are you enrolling as a mentor, or a mentee...because at this point, if you are to be the mentor, I would have to have considerable sympathy for your protege'."

I once felt that way myself. I thought I'd hit the lowest of the lows. But that didn't mean I could've stopped. Searching for Jobs on Indeed.com help a lot. Even though I had to apply to over 25 jobs a day and went to so many interviews there was one that stuck and thankfully it did because I'm now doing something I enjoy. Definitely think if you haven't to try the website out and see where it takes you. I believe something would stick for you too.

College isn't a must. My son didn't finish, but he can fix just about anything, and I mean anything. He's fixed my cars, computers, and major appliances. He and a friend taught themselves how to weld.

You have an English test coming up. Good luck.
