I thought it might be a nice idea to have a thread for discussing jobs where you really do God's work of ministering to the needy, since there are a lot of recovering NEETs here. Maybe we could help inspire people looking for direction in life to do good work that will really make Abba proud.
Pretty much anything in healthcare like being a doctor, nurse, etc seems to be a job that "comes with a halo" to me (if approached with the right attitude and not done just for the money.) I also have immense respect for janitors, housekeepers, groundskeepers etc for doing important dirty jobs for very little pay. People who have been janitors for a long time often seem to have a "holy aura" to me.
The nicest man I have ever met has been the janitor in my building. He truly seems to be a saint, smiling at everyone, despite the place being full of methheads, criminals, and sex offenders. He made me (a usually introverted and shy person) have natural small talk with him by his presence. Maybe he's an angel. If demons and Satan himself are in the universe, then why not also angels?
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." (Hebrews 13:2)
I'm planning to start writing prisoners soon, and I'm definitely gonna help out at the local Catholic Charities. Money is not really an issue, as Christ told us the Father will provide our basic needs, so that's fine. Can't wait
Also, give money when asked, Jesus commanded it

Also forgot, I just looked at the verses following, we all should be helping prisoners, sending them money to make their time easier, etc, because St. Paul tells us:
"Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body." Also our Christian brethren across the world oppressed.

Being a janitor is one of the most lowly and humble positions you can have in our modern society. You won't have much in this world but it seems like a good path to become a Saint. Old man security guards and bus drivers also have this kind of aura to me.

Tell me, what does the current world truly need? Even more miraculous treatment to diabetes and AIDS because people simply can't stop sinning or MORALS. The modern world has everything in abundance but no morals at all. That is what humanity needs the most. And now is when it most needs.

If AIDS is God's punishment on the sodomites, would it be a sin to cure AIDS?

In all honesty, what’s a good job for a Neet who has done nothing with his life and has no skills whatsoever and has failed school and who can’t maintain a conversation, also I’m not American so can’t just simply join the military, my country requires a Year 12 certificate and a clean mental history also they're not hiring white males at the moment, I want to do this for myself and because I know my parents are getting on with their years and I know they want to see me get a job and do better in my life but I’m so useless I don’t know who would want to hire me or where to start got any suggestions?
Overnight shift at a store like 7/11 when hardly anyone comes in, unarmed security guard, laundry room attendant in a hotel… With nothing on your resume you're only going to find menial positions like these with high turnover because the work will be unpleasant but some jobs like this are slightly more loner-friendly than others.

IT, seriously, a lot of the people I work with are/were NEETs at one point. Study for and get some CompTIA IT certifications (they're relatively cheap, education wise) and apply for an entry level. You might get stuck in a call center at first, but that will teach you all the social skills you need and force you to adapt. Then after 2 or so years you can get a cushy job making relatively decent money doing IT support for some company without too much social interaction.
