[quote=Anonymous]OP, an office job is your best bet. If you have ANY experience with Microsoft Office, even if it's from 5 years ago, then you should be fine. Even if the position calls for more advanced techniques, you can search YouTube for a video tutorial. Actually, you can find a video tutorial for just about anything on YouTube, so if you don't know it, you can learn without paying a cent!

However, I am a more senior secretary in my department and I make less than $50,000. My net wages cover daycare for an infant and probably most of our rent (both $1400/mo). If you are receiving child support, that should go toward paying for childcare and will hopefully help you get up and stay on your feet.

A brief explainer on Adobe: In an office setting, you use it for PDF documents with a program called Adobe Acrobat. These are essentially documents that you can't edit, so I use PDFs as the final version of a letter or something that I send to someone.
Adobe also makes a series of software programs that artists and designers use to accomplish just about anything design-related, from web pages to brochures to taking a plain picture and turning everyone's skin blue just for fun.[/quote]
