Career Path Advice for people with no technical or social skills

[Ssp]

What are some high paying easy to get jobs for people with no technical and social skills.

I have an EE degree but I'm not skilled in it either and therefore I'm unable to advance in it either.

Roughneck on an oil rig is the only one that comes to mind

How can you have not technical skills if you have an EE degree? Did you buy it?

Misses on the “easy” requirement though.

In my experience the answers depend upon whether you are stupid, lazy, or both.

More background: I graduated with a GPA of close to 4.0 but am inept in the field.

It was “easy to get”, not “easy”.

Well now I'm changing it to both "easy to get" and "easy". You can also be skeptical as much as you want about my GPA. But it's the truth take it or leave it, I don't care.

There is no such job then.

I am not skeptical about your GPA. I am skeptical about your GPA and your claimed ineptness both together.

Well thank you for trying.

If there were an easy, well-paying job that required no skills, don't you think everyone would jump on it?

The question does not qualify as serious,... or something.

Electrical Engineering degree? That should be vocational with knowledge. Skills must be part of this.

Focusing on what "high paying" jobs, is the wrong focus. One should look for jobs which one is qualified to do. Everyone can work with someone or some small group. Not much special skill is needed. These social skills have been in ones progression all thoughout ones life. One at least has an ability to react and to respond

May I be bold enough to say, that makes no sense?

You serious? If so then explain it!

A bit of too-late advising:

(1) best to choose a degree objective in a subject in which one is interested

(2) very important to know what specifically you want to do with your education's degree objective; like what jobs do you believe you want? What tasks and skills you want to do?

One MUST have clear precise answers for point 2; or else one may become and stay lost for a very long time.

Sounds to me like you're looking for a unicorn (something that doesn't exist).

Fortunately these issues are correctable. Both technical and social skills can be learned and both skill sets tend to develop out of experience rather than in a classroom.

In university, you acquire a vast wealth of knowledge. To be fair, universities also have opportunities for skill development, but not everyone takes advantage of those (or even recognizes them for what they are). This is why in the working world fresh graduates are rarely placed in positions of heavy responsibility and instead are required to work their way into them.

If you want to develop social skills, for example, take a position as a server or in sales. Over time you can learn how best to interact with people on a professional level. Invest in yourself. Join a chapter of Toastmasters or form a local community group around an interest of yours. You may not ever get to the point of those people who just seem to be born with charisma, but most people can develop enough social prowess to be successful in the professional world.

There is only one way to get such high grades and not learn the material.
