I’ll repeat my general education advice to everyone:
Learn applied rather than general education. Most uni education is a total waste of time.

If you are comfortable with trade work, learn basic accounting, basic finance, basic project management, basic contract law, then focus on mastering your trade. At present I would focus on carpentry, electrical, and welding, because they produce higher than white collar income if for a shorter number of years before your body can’t take it any longer (so save and invest.) Adding basic psychology meaning personality differences will help you. And basic negotiation will help you. If possible learn enough programming t understand how to operate computer aided design and manufacturing equipment. (it’s not hard). These jobs are only going to increase because the global trade pattern will decrease again. Alternatively take the same path but focus on health care.

If you are comfortable with white-collar subject matter, then learn basic philosophy of science, basic accounting, basic finance, basic statistics, basic economics, basic project management – in its list, queue, agile (variants), and waterfall (gantt variants) – and then basic contracts and contract law. And finally public speaking, negotiation, and if possible international negotiation so that you learn how different cultures’s think. Anyone with an IQ between 100 and 115 can do so. This is far better than all business related degrees and ensures you are ready to participate in the workforce as a white collar worker right away.

If possible then learn a programming language (now Python), design patterns, and the available data storage models, basic physics, introductory physics, electronics,

If possible chemistry, petrochemistry, biochemistry, and materials sciences.

If possible math, physics, and engineering, or cognitive science, economics and law.

After graduation take any western philosophy and history courses – or just follow my friend Rudyard Lynch (@whatifalthist) and read the books he recommends. 😉

Etc.
