welcome to the outside; one of my best friends is an ex-con. hope you can adjust! poo poo's nutty definitely look into the trades, a solid network of people can't be a bad thing nowadays. if that sounds like a good idea and if you've never done any serious work with your hands/some tools, picking up a little DIY project around the house might be a good idea. we've actually got a whole subforum for like, crafts and trades and DIY poo poo and stuff. SA has all kinds of subforums for different niches and poo poo. idk about starting up in a trade at your age (it's not my field) but what you lack in youth you probably make up for in not loving around. I taught a few ex-cons at my job and they're much nicer to work with than dipshit 19 year olds.

if you asked me to read a dusty tome of ancient goon in-jokes after getting out of prison, I'd see about figuring out how to go back
