Jobs I can do with only high cool diploma? (hexbear.net)

I don’t have a degree but I’m good at lying on my resume, it was how I was able to get a job that I maintained for a year. I hate working as does everyone but I’m more vocal about hating it and often get myself into trouble. I don’t have college credits or degrees or any certifications or training. I’m autistic too so most the jobs I’ve had have been extremely uncomfortable. Ideally I would like to work with flowers even though I have no experience I really like them and think it’s quiet but I think these are few and far between. My unemployment runs out soon so I really need to find work but I just don’t know what to do.

No qualifications, no drivers license, no college degree, nothing just a loser NEET

It's usually seasonal work and the pay is probably bad, but look into horticulture roles with your local/regional parks departments. It's the only job I've had where I've gone home feeling like I did something good every day. I plant flowers for the benefit of people who will never pay me, the public constantly compliments that work, and the moment I get off work to walk my dog I'm my own customer. Everyone there was motivated by values like environmental stewardship and community so it's a super supportive workplace that's more conscious of labour/discrimination laws. In terms of training/degrees, most of my coworkers have no formal horticulture background and the department pays for their training.

It's like 80% of the job I'd want under communism, and the idealised form is just more of what makes it good. I get to drive around in an old truck doing eco-Marxism.
