really badly! But I don't know how to make stuff and am not very handy.
Anyone make things of any kind? Or work with your hands a lot?

dont do manual labor / carpentry. the pay is shit and work conditions the same.
I'd suggest either doing this stuff as a hobby or doing something like art ( some sort of sculpture maybe, if you want to work with your hands? ). Art, while it is much harder to find a job, is much more rewarding and gives more potential for income. Potential.

You should try sculpting with clay. You can make some really nice deco objects, bongs, pipes, vases, pots, etc etc etc.

Computers are easy as hell to build, and are even easyer to get alot more money than you paid for all the parts.
Carpeting is good but is hard work.
Work in a green house maybe??

Clay huh..I've always wanted to work on or make something I could use. Back when I used to do all kinds of work on my computers it always felt fucking great when something broken started working again. I'd love to get started doing something like that. Maybe not even building something..perhaps just fixing up something. My bike maybe? Maybe make some shelves or something..
I just really want to go hands on with something. It's been a long time and I've never been terribly handy in the first place. And by that I mean, not handy in the slightest.

Why not just focus on getting that B.S. in Psychology? Big bucks await you if you have that piece of paper.

Psh..I'm gonna bail on that B.S and go for something else. I took the easy way out but I'm going to dive back in.

Hmm. Hands on stuff is awesome. I'm all about the physical side of things where you are outside, active, with other like-minded people and just having a chill time. Too bad this comes with unstable seasonal jobs or a sponsorship. But hey, this is what hobbies are for.
Clay sounds like a great idea. I'm in the same boat as far as that stuff goes too. Its good mind therapy.

well yeah, if you do carpentry on your own it's a different matter. Working in something like a factory is more likely, though.

I'm halfway through getting my degree in Massage Therapy.
Very hands on, and starting pay is about $45 an hour.
