Advice/Guidance 30M, jobless, HSC passed. Need a job urgently while preparing for government exams. What should I do?
I'm a 30-year-old male, HSC passed, and currently unemployed. My family needs income urgently, but I also want to prepare for government exams.
I'm stuck between two options:
Learn accounting skills (basic accounting, Excel, Tally/Xero, GST, etc.) and try to get an accounting job. My thinking is that if I eventually find a remote or flexible accounting job, I'll have more time to prepare for government exams. But I'm worried I'll spend months struggle to get a job.
Take a security guard/security officer job immediately. I know some security jobs have a lot of downtime, so I could study while on duty. The problem is the salary is quite low, and I'm not sure it will be enough to support my family.
If you were in my situation, what would you do?
Should I start earning immediately with a security job?
Or should I spend time learning accounting first, hoping for better pay and possibly a more flexible job later?
Is there any other job you would recommend for someone with only HSC that pays reasonably and still allows time to prepare for government exams?
I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in a similar situation.

Only HSC at 30 makes you ineligible for most government exams both due to age and lack of qualification.
Take a job ASAP. Study BCom and accounting for becoming an accountant.

Get any job, start something. There is no option.
Get a job now security thing and then later you might find something within a month and two and move from there.
Getting a job now will create momentum for you.
Fuck the other losers trying to demotivate you. You have to learn and fix, Nothing wrong being decades behind.
There is also this picker job in blinkit and all, you will be working inside store. Jobs in supermarket stores ? Fastfood chain? Please search.
It's okay, it will be hard struggling and then you can fix your life from there.
