Honestly, I would love to get into security. Too bad all the hiring managers pulled the ladder up. No one is willing to teach or train anymore even though they all had the ability to learn on the job. I tried getting into security, programming, and even sys admin positions, but they all require a ridiculous amount of experience for entry level. Even the internships I applied to for programming expected me to create fully functional programs for the interview. I have more than enough knowledge and experience for a beginning sys admin job. Even though my title is help desk we are extremely understaffed so I handle high level stuff everyday. I don't even get a response when I apply to those positions.

Also, it's true labor jobs pay well, but they have inconsistent hours and destroy your body. Our body's aren't designed for constant tool use. Vibration and constantly gripping things wrecks your hands. Lifting and carrying things is hard on your back and joints. Most labor jobs are 1099 positions as well so it doesn't matter if you make less than a full time minimum wage position would in a year, you'll still be expected to pay back over 30 percent of your wages in taxes. That's fine if you own a company, but it shouldn't be allowed for a general laboror.
