<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I graduated last year with an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) of 82.25, which is reasonably high.

I am a good learner, but I learn best by *doing*. Give me a few demonstrations, let me try it out for myself for a bit, and I'll have the skill in no time.

...But give me a text book and tell me to do the review questions, and my brain just *won't get it*. 

Therefore, University is looking like a path to failure for me. I attempted studying at uni last year for about 3 weeks (enough time to really "give it a go"), and I found the learning style just wasn't getting me anywhere. 

I have considered a TAFE course, because these are generally more "hands on" learning, but I know that most employers don't really take these seriously (in comparison to a university degree).

So I'm stuck with not many other options.

I just know that I need to do something. *Anything*. Because working in a low-paying job as a waitress or sales assistant for the rest of my life will kill me. I've already had 6 years of this (I started working when I was 12, and haven't been unemployed for more than 2 weeks since then...), and that's been enough time to know for sure that I can't be trapped in this type of work for the rest of my life.

**So, any advice?
<bot>: I don't know what to study. I learn from "doing" rather than from reading a text book/ writing essays, and therefore don't think that uni is the best option, but am stuck for other ideas. Advice?
