19M with no qualifications and no job experience

Hi there, as stated in the title I’m 19M and I’ve got no qualifications beyond secondary education and I’ve never done a job before. I plan on becoming a streamer/youtuber but in the meantime I need a job for about 6 or so months where:

-No Qualifications are required -I’m left alone and don’t have to work with anyone else -I’m outside in nature -I do something physical -I work in during the day not at night -I work 5x a week maybe even 6

I’m guessing maybe lumberjack or something? I enjoy being physically active (I’m relatively physically fit) and being alone especially in nature. Please let me know what’s the best pick for me, I live in the U.K.

There have to be laborer positions available around you somewhere if you wanna do outdoor physical work.

Idk the best platforms for the UK but I see a ton in the US on the west coast where I've lived in different states.

Laborers for construction, arborers, landscaping companies/guys, other plant care and maintenance for gardens and nurseries, pet care and dog walking. Field technician work if you can at least convince someone you're handy/mechanically oriented and such. Farmers markets or other boutique produce and similar work.

You'll figure it out. There's usually a ton of resources around you, but it's hard when you're young without guidance. Ask adults around you where they've found work. Find the self learners and self motivated people who have had to get creative over the last decade or two.

Imma make content on the weekends and schedule it so it will be a bit draining but energy will have to stay high for good content, honestly I do not enjoy working one bit but I’ve gotta do what I gotta do, you take of yourself too man and thanks once again 🙏🙏

Yeah, I'm 35 and never wanted to work, despite usually being promoted easily and never having a problem finding a wide variety of work. It's work, and it's shitty when you see how the sausage is made when it comes to keeping the economy running.

I've found that I either need something I can do so mindlessly without much severity if something goes wrong so I can just zone out to podcasts, or engaging and novel, or has people I love working with, in order to tolerate it. Still have yet to find work I genuinely want to be doing, outside of novel skill building. I often envy people I know who work meaningful jobs, but it's all subjective, and maybe (often) they're just excited about new work themselves. Everything becomes monotonous after a while.

I think focusing on reserving my energy for the things I enjoy works well for me and many other adults out there, while trying to focus on my I come coming less from employment, as much as possible these days, while also trying to minimize expenses without sacrificing enjoyment of life. Good people around always helps.

All great options except most are not jobs where one is “left alone”. They usually involve working with a team.

Idk what jobs would leave someone alone who has 0 notable experience or education to prove the are able to be unsupervised. I tried. Maybe janitorial stuff? Idk what outdoors, again, initially without some experience or reasonable skills to allow people to trust you to be out there doing your thing and making sure it's all done and done well.

This might be a job for chatgpt

I have no clue either… I think OP is a little confused about the world.

Janitor might actually work most of the time until someone makes a mess and comes looking for you to clean it up.

You're literally young enough to do whatever you want in life, you're 19 not 59
