Alabama?
Miss
Arkansas
Upstate Florida (Pensacola, Tall, or Jacks)
Tenn

I'm talking maybe 40k a year or less, what's the best area?

No education so working regular jobs and making a living off it or trying to.

The poorer the state the more religious it is and the more crime you'll have.
Sad but true.

I don't know about that, South Florida isn't nearly as bad as it used to be and this place is still pretty low income (people) but the classism and the folks wanting to get into the high class is what keeps the system going.

There’s people with geds making 6 figs in New York doing things like working for sanitation.. so don’t let the fact you don’t have a degree think you’re limited in finding a career.. nigs in janitorial work making close to or 6 figs in nyc.. so the question is what can you do?.. do you know how to drive, clean?.. pick up heavy things? You could fuck around and do construction..depending what state you can make money doing that.. find out what your capabilities are and see what state might need them and how much you can make from it.. cdl license.. you fuck around making close to 6 figs or more delivering and stacking potatoe chips in diff bodegas

You mean the state that we keep posting the Bugs Bunny cut off meme because of the crazy shit that comes out of there daily? Haha.

Rhode Island ain't that bad from what I hear.

If you got a skill you can do, then Arkansas, and Mississippi are great places to live. The houses are cheap and the living is great. The people are the best in the U.S. and some of the best in the world. Don't try to fuck with us, we will fuck you up quick, but all that bullshit you have from living in city life is gone. People are real.

Hell the biggest joke in the world my boy makes over 90,000 a yr (not including overtime) for a hotel in nyc literally setting up chairs and tables in the hall/conference room.. diff companies rent out the rental hall all yr long for diff things.. his job put chairs here put a table there and he makes a lil over 45 an hr.. he does at least 7 hrs a day 5 days a week and he only does an hr or less of actual work.. so when people talk about degrees or non skill worker I laugh at what people would never imagine are actual careers and how much money some people make

Washington state- Nevada- Alabama. These are states I have lived in. The state of Nevada has gambling all over the state.
Gambling is legal in Nevada but until you experience it, you don't realize just big and desolate this state is outside of Vegas. Reno is ok, but the best thing about reno is its vicinity to cali and Tahoe. Many more black people in Vegas than Reno as well. Plenty of jobs in Reno if you are into construction or data center work though.

Appreciate y’all I’m head to Georgia since that’s the closest outside of Florida, I’m a realist so I got no need to lie I look at what I can realistically do at my age and I’m going to plan off that. I know them smaller cities in ga them brothers are really about that life since it’s more isolate and less cops and that country vibe means a lot of them cops really don’t care much I got a friend in senville I think it’s called.

this is extremely rare though, very rare to see that type of bread working for a company with little education.

Tahoe is where the nude beaches are. Reno was where I put strategies down against the casinos that worked. I went from single deck black jack every Friday and Saturday to playing poker from Friday night all the way to late Sunday. Whole weekend spent in the poker parlour.

Check out Warner Robins, GA.

When I was stationed there as a Company Grade Officer, even 1st Lts were buying big ass houses (would be mansions to New Yorkers). And our salary was like $56k.

what city in Georgia?

Or what part of Houston? Tallahassee is really cheap house-wise.

I fucked up my life to the point I don't think I'll recover so I'm being a realist here. I'm driving up within two weeks to look around.
Stay away from the city of Atlanta, but you can still make it with that in the metro area. If you don't have a criminal record you can probably get a decent government job with one of the counties (Fulton, Gwinnett or Dekalb).

My brother, if you are breathing, you can always recover. You need a plan and discipline. You can recover. You just have to be willing to do what it takes to do so

But this is not the norm. A kid can't say, "hmm, I want set up chairs and tables for the rest of my life" and expect $90K. That's not reality. Im sure your boy has time in at the hotel, seniority, and most if all, luck. Jobs like that do not come everyday. Additionally, I would never advise a child coming out of high school to bet on a non-degree/ non-certificate job to pay that much. It's an anomaly.

I would also argue that there is no security in that position. If he is ever let go, it's a wrap. He will not find that same job fir the same pay, and that's if he is being honest about how much he is getting paid.

Not hating tho. Get that money black man.
