How to advance/start career with little ambition

I’m almost 25 and live with my parents still, I have a job and around 10k saved but it’s a dead end job. I don’t have a college degree since i dropped out but I’m wondering if anyone has advice on things that would be good to get things going in a good direction, like getting certifications or an apprenticeship. I don’t mind manual labor and I guess I am task oriented? Lots of programs I look at cost most of my savings so I don’t want to jump into anything too soon. I guess I could get a different job that has room to advance but I only would have references from my current job. All I know is I’m currently doing several people’s work for minimum wage and I’m not really going anywhere. I’ve tried to motivate myself but I just can’t make myself care about anything that much. Any advice is appreciated
