The military is great. Most positions are non-combat, and you can get a nice pension and other great benefits like VA loans if you stay in long. Can give you specialized training that leads into other careers too if you hate it. Obviously it's not an easy path, but lots of "non intelligent" people can find success. But otherwise, if you're poor you should do what other poor people do. Get married(dual income), live with family(more income and economies of scale), accept a long commute, and only shop at Costco. All of these can bring the cost of living down significantly. That's what most poor / lower class people do. Also doing all of this doesn't mean you have to be unhappy.
