Pretty much all jobs I can find for unskilled workers in Thailand pay 9-13,000 baht/month, where the higher end of that range is with overtime.

 

Trying to help a friend, what would be your advice?

 

More education has sort of been ruled out, so I am thinking maybe work where you learn on the job, so at least there is a path to higher pay, even if the starting salary is still low.

 

In my own country, construction would be a good candidate, but from what I have seen in Thailand, there seems to be little interest in specialized construction workers, rather, many of the construction workers I have met was underpaid migrant workers.

School is ruled out but what does your friend like to do? Any interest in something at all?

Something commission based with retainer. Work on the sales skills and presentation.
