So I've tried a number of things that obviously haven't worked. Which is part of the reason why I'm here. Like this is an option that most likely will be taken, and I need to make sure it is done right. And I'm asking this because I'm wondering how many are like me. But even more, maybe there is something I missed that might work.
(What I've done)
First off, for one to do something to make their life better. One must know or have a general idea what in their life is lacking. I'm autistic, I'm in my 30's, I never had a serious relationship, I never had a stable life, and I can name a number of other problems. I've tried getting in a stable relationship numerous times. But each time when I started a relationship I found the other person tends to flake out. A few times I've even tried oversea dating, and I found they quickly lose interest when they found I don't have wealth or much of a name. Even when it's evident that I'm trying. Both local and far away, it's evident that I can't have a stable serious relationship until life works out, or I have an extreme amount of luck. So it's obvious I need to have something that looks like a stable life before trying again.
When I got out of HS it was pretty much the time of the economic collapse in USA/world. So there was no jobs, and not even the military was really taking people in. I was trading in the stock market with my money. While it might sound impressive, I found this only shines a light how poor you really are. My ROI was around 23%. But even at a 10% ROI, if all you have is $100. The best you will get back is $10 on top of the $100 you put in before taxes and fees. And since the job I had at the time literally paid me some weeks $8 to clean dog shit, clean toilets, and so on. I can say I didn't have enough capital to do anything. Because of things, I figured I might as well get a degree and maybe that will open doors. My first degree is in aerospace. In short, it was one of those programs where NASA would let us out there and help train us in hopes that we would work out there as we kept our education up. During my graduation semester, man space flight went way and so did any job I had lined up. Then after getting out, I found out the entire aerospace market was virtually not there since the only ones who bought new planes was the gov. And since they stopped due to the economy. Because of things, I moved to a different state with my parents. I had to go into manufacturing. One of the companies that hired me only hired me for 1 day. Another only kept me on for 3 months while they were rotating people in and out. During those 3 months I thought of on many days just running my car into a tree at top speed going to work, and I was trying to figure out how to make it look like a freak event. Like I hated working in manufacturing that much. And because of things, I needed to get another AS to go for a BS. Because it was only 2 classes apart, I gotten 2 degrees. One in general computers and another in network tech which was a 2x2 with a local university. During this time, I've been in the news paper for making things for NASA and even being invited out to a location in hopes that I will eventually become an intern. After arriving, they said there was a hiring freeze and there is no openings. During these 2 degrees I started making YouTube videos in hopes of maybe turning that into a career. Yes it is silly, but my other options was that or working in fast food.
Anyways, for a while there things did look good until Youtube started messing with what people watched. For over half a decade I've only made around $100-$200 a month every month off of YouTube. So it's obvious this was a failure, but it is one I never dropped due to the lack of options I have.
After completing the 2 degrees, I was told by some of my former teachers to work at Cisco. I ignored it mostly because I knew there was a limit to how high I could get and I knew that would've been risky. I also know I can't work somewhere full time while going to school. I have tried it, and almost failed at both. So I decided to hold that off until after my 4th degree. Well during my 4th degree I started pushing the YouTube thing hard. On top of that, I tried app development, and I've gotten good enough at it where I started teaching some of the stuff. Due to this several companies asked me to apply, but virtually none replied back when I sent them my resume. I've even paid multiple companies to fix my resume. Eventually, I gotten into some freelance work. But the problems with that is places like India was out bidding me. Like it is a huge problem where people from 3rd world countries say they will do something for $5 that normally everyone else would charge $300. And then they just don't do the job. I've talked to others about this and some said some smart ass thing about they get what they pay for. But at the end of the day, legit people lose out since you have 30 people bidding $5 and $10 for building an entire application from nothing. So I stopped that since I wasn't getting enough money from it.
Eventually I started 3D printing and I figure maybe I can sell stuff and get close to a living wage. I only made close to $1k in a year doing that. I even talked to some local companies and neighbors that own businesses about helping. Some said some BS to blow smoke up my tail. But nothing came from it even after I made them sample key chains.
Because people in the past said I need to patent some of what I made, and I couldn't figure out how people afford $5k-$20k patents. I came across how people license product ideas to companies and collect royalties. I linked it for anyone else interested. Anyways, doing some research into this, I found this might be a possible method for me to start being able to afford a stable life. The only catch is it could take 2 years or more before any money comes in, and you have to get some companies to agree to the deal. I went through all the needed steps, survey the prototype and found people liked it, and did what I could to reach out to companies about this. The majority I haven't heard anything back from. Others, I have gotten a rejection letter. So that is looking like that is a flop too.
Anyways, going back to the last degree. During the last few classes someone who worked in IT in one of the areas that was near me. We made a deal about if they cheated off of me, then they would help me get a job at their place. After I graduated, they ghosted me. The only other place that hires for IT interviewed me for a networking admin job. They told my mom who use to work there they were really looking for a coder. And they only asked me database admin questions when I showed up for the interview.
I'm fresh out of ideas when it comes to getting enough money to get a stable life.
Something to note is on top of all of this. I'm dealing with a drunken drug addict family members. You can read about a bit of it here, but there is a lot more that happened since I wrote that. I might update it sometime. https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/sister-is-an-addict-scumbag-and-im-basically-at-a-lost.30924/
Most of my family hates me and has little to no contact with me. A lot of it has to deal with my sister, but I think there is other unknown reasons.
So to sum it up, I had a pain in the A time growing up. I never had a serious relationship. The job market was so bad that even the military wouldn't take me in when I got out of HS. After getting trained to work on rockets, my graduation semester the man space flight went in smoke and so did any job I could've gotten. The only place that would've hired me was in manufacturing. And between the people picking on me while I was there, how boring it was, and a few other reasons. I was maybe a month or so from figuring out how to make it look like a mechanical failure that killed me going to/from work since I was coming home after midnight. Then after I gotten done with my last degree I'm finding there is no jobs, all the side things I've tried pretty much failed, and I'm so desperate to have a stable life that I'm even trying things like licensing product ideas to some companies. Something that is well known to have about a 0.05% success rate for some.
(Sorry for the typos. As one of my teachers said when I was going for my aerospace degree. I majored in a bunch of stuff, but writing isn't one of those things. But seriously, I will try to fix it up later)
