So, after i took the red pill i decided i had to learn some craft to make money, no more living with minimum wage on my pocket. So i decided to go back to my old career, because it's something that usually pays good money if you have the experience, back to being a cnc operator/machinist (i dont know which one is it in English, I'm the one that prepares the machine, i dont just press a button). Thing is, i had 3 years experience plus one more since i came back to the trade, so 4 years experience and i even got a 75€ raise this year and i'm still not even making 200€ above minimum wage and im making only 20€ more than the guys that have 0 years of experience. I cant find other companies to work for because i live far away. The company i work for as far away as it is, i was lucky that it was somewhat close to a train station i just had to buy a e-bike to go from the station to the company. But that's it, i dont feel like i'm learning nothing new, definitely not learning programing, they have a full team just for that and there is where u make money in this trade. I cant go live in another city with more offers of work cause half of my money would be for the rent alone. I work in the afternoon shift, 15:30 to 00:00, i have no social life during the week, if i want to be raised i have to work extra hours that they dont pay according to the law (they have to pay 100% and they only pay 50%). Basically im lost, i waste hours waiting for the train to come and go, i work, i sleep, spend a couple of hours on the pc and that's it. I can see myself going backwards, wasting my time, my mind, my youth. I'm back at watching porn everyday again and i had stoped before. How did u guys made good money? I dont even have money to go to college. And i know some of u will call me a pussy or something, just chill, we all hit rock bottom before.

Sounds terrible bro, but it's temporary. There are many better places to ask for advice as this is not strictly RP related. Use reddit or other resources to figure out what you can do, and do that. Use your free time to get out of this mess instead of virtually cucking yourself to porn every day.
Become invaluable and leverage your position to change companies, careers, positions, etc.

I don't know, people there always talk about IT, they say u can be self taught and there's gonna be plenty of job opportunities but others say it's very difficult to be self taught, not everybody can do it and there's not many job opportunities for people without some kind of college degree.

You'll never get rich working for someone else. You have to own the means of production. That means you need your own CNC machine. Some places have maker-spaces where you can rent one. You could finance one through a small business loan or direct financing with the machine sellers. Keep your shitty job while taking on side-work machining stuff. Once you have enough side-work to support yourself, quit your shitty job.

What country are you living in bro? Because it sounds like your in a developing country rather a first world country. It also sounds like you have a terrible employer if their not paying you according to the law

It's a first world alright. It's Portugal. Most employers don't pay by the law and if they pay, they pay very little (they do everything they can to avoid taxes, their taxes are very high). Our minimum wage is 705€, i'm being paid 875€ and it's still not enough to live by myself. A very small studio goes for around 450€ a month. The median salary in Portugal is around 1300€ and most people under 34 don't even make 950€. It's a shit country to make money.

I saw other users the last week or so talk about bartending as an option
What's the bar scene like I'm Portugal? I talked to a female bartender the other night (in the USA) that said it was good money for what it's worth. She told me she had never stepped foot in a bar before prior to applying for that job

From what i heard they make around the same money i do, some make more but they work alot of hours. And it's mostly women doing it, the men that also do it are fit guys, i'm not, i'm just a skinny dude.

I'm not sure your physique would matter too much. Obviously women probably get a lot of tips from thirsty guys, but if you're good at your job, have a great attitude and vibe, and can make excellent drinks, offer good off-menu drinks, etc. People will like your service and tip well and also go to you instead of other bartenders
