I grew up in Hendricks County. There's a lot of your post that resonated with me, since several friends and family members of mine have had similar life experiences. One of my best friends was in a similar boat: no completed degree, not sure what he wanted to do, enjoyed tech but wasn't a strong programmer, but he had strong "soft" skills. There are a number of manufacturing and logistics/supply chain companies in Central Indiana that have a real need for detail-oriented, personable and hard-working people. My friend hated working for a manufacturing company, but it was only a year and it was a launchpad: he was able to prove value with spreadsheets (similar to paperwork) and after hopping from a couple different companies is now doing Business Analyst work (some SQL, some Excel, mostly domain knowledge of the industry he picked up on the job) for a retail distributor in Central Indiana. I don't claim to be giving any particular advice, I only aim for encouragement. Keep knocking on doors and building your network. It's hard work that will pay off. Best of luck.
