Im 20 and have a degree that allows me to go to universities and apply for jobs that need it too. The idea was basically to be an apprentice for three years and get a job with those skills/certificate. The issue is that i was really tired or just distracted and basically did nothing besides getting the degree. I think i don't need to explain that im having trouble finding a spot. Any advice on what i should do? Neeting for a year would probably deter employers and would also strain relations with my family and there is also something like a "voluntary social year" which actually earns some money i think but at the same time i don't think that its attractive for employers either.
Im really clueless. I don't even have a bank account or things like that. I basically finished my education and I'm fending for myself without any clear path before me.
Actually going to university or other such facilities is not an option for me. I already barely finished this degree without going mad.

It may be good to have a bank account and things like that.

I can open one fairly quickly. The main issue is the job related path forward. The account was just to show how little i am or was prepared.
Im lucky my parents are not the ones to kick you out once you are 18 or this might have been a lot worse.

You have a firm grasp on the basics, and it may be good to reference it. For now it may be good to address the more local dilemmas:

>Neeting for a year would probably deter employers and would also strain relations with my family and there is also something like a "voluntary social year" which actually earns some money
The latter appears to address much of what you desire.

>i think but at the same time i don't think that its attractive for employers either.
Counter-intuitively, perhaps there could be merit on being seen enduring something not within your heart for a good year or two, while waiting out a storm.

First i need to find a spot which also takes time but considering their nature i think i could get one but the main issue with these is that a lot of them are things like caring for the elderly or touring kids around a forest. Social work you know. The same stuff that was driving me mad when i was in school still. The tech job i wanted in contrast is more solitary which i much prefer.
And i don't mean "mad" to express my dislike of it but "mad" as in my doctor wanted me to take SSRIs in order not to sperg out 24/7 and be depressed afterwards.

There seem to be some other (not so favorable) listings in my area but at the same time i have my internship start next week and expected to begin my apprenticeship in the next quarter at the same place but it seems like they removed the apprenticeship listing so i don't know if this will play out like i wanted or not. I also already have family there which is one of the reasons i wanted to be there but its uncertain now if i can join them before the next openings open. Another thing to worry about.

Perhaps there is something to be gained from the experience. Answers are often found in strange places, and what better place to look than where you have not set foot.
