Skill/s for someone like me?

Hello. A bit about me: I am a woman, 35 years old, and I speak English as a second language (I can sort of argue with people online but every time I look around me, I see people speaking/writing much better English than I do). I am good at literally nothing. I can't cook (don't want to either), not good with computers or anything mechanical or anything technological at all. I can't sew or bake. Apparently my English isn't all that great either. I used to be in retail/customer service and I hated it. I have like, literally NOTHING going for me.
Yet I want to make a bit more money and make something of myself, if that's possible. I currently work in the kitchen of a fast food restaurant in Canada. Is there any skill/s for someone like me to learn, so that I can go further in life? What are your suggestions? Keep in mind that I learn slowly and as a matter of fact, I am quite bad at most things academic.

If you dont have the drive or desire to learn something, you will never be good at doing it and therefore will never be good making money at it.
You need to find something you actually enjoy doing, have some passion about, and turn that into a money maker. Some people like me got into computers as a youngster so it went from a hobby to a career. But you should definitely not waste time trying to get jobs you have no desire to drive to do, or you will only be there for a while before self destructing and causing yourself to get fired or quit.
If there is no specific thing you like doing (that can be turned into a job somehow) then you need to get the drive and desire to just get the money, and use that to drive you into learning to be good at something else.

1) Get out of Quebec, now.
2) Master english. Take classes, Dowload duolingo app on your phone
Just by doing these 2 things, you will open up new doors for yourself

Being bilingual is a major selling point when applying for jobs. If you're in an area in which there are people speaking your primary language and others are incapable of interacting with them then I would aim for a position around there..
