If you're making minimum wage, what do you really have to lose by improving your marketable skills?

One's heart. Perhaps you are unaware, but improved skills can cause havoc on one's cardiovascular health. Improved skills are a leading cause of death in the United States.

It's a pretty neat trap, you see I can't afford to take any time off work to even look for another job, let alone any unpaid training

I'm sure if I locked the fuck in and pulled myself up by my bootstraps and got extremely lucky, I could jump ship into a better position, but that target is like 5 feet wide and a hundred feet away and surrounded by homelessness on all sides

You obviously have the internet. I doubt you worked 24/7. Use some of that internet to study.

Do you have any internet-based resources I can use to study in any way that would help me get a different job?
