What the fuck?!

Ziggy pretty much has it. Work in Fast Food or Customer Service. Pretty much anywhere will do. If you have a mall close by, try checking there whether it be just seasonal, or Full time. Every bit of experience counts. You can also try things like construction and janitorial work. It's not the best thing, but it's a job.

Also, I'd look for the closest community college, and start taking one or two classes. You don't have to go full time, but at the very least you can build up to getting a certificate. This'll also help you in finding a job you want, depending which area you study. There's also tons of different financial aid available, use it.

Your idea of joining the military is about as far off from the truth as you can possibly be. First of all, if he joined the navy or air force, he'd be as in much danger as he would be doing regular exercise at home. Even if he did join the army or marines though, if he signed up for a white-collar job, no one would even throw a fucking stone in his general direction, and that's ASSUMING he gets sent to a hostile country.

Unless you're trolling, please don't talk about things you don't know about, especially when giving people advice.

Look Tranq, personally, i would recommend you go to a community college. You make it seem like there's no future for people who go there, but that's not true at all. Plus, if you get good grades, you can always apply to a better one after the first year.

Just keep your nose down and grind until you get results. It's hard and disheartening but find some support and keep plugging along something will present itself.

As some have said, I would take a class or two at a community college, for no other reason than to say you are working on college.
People see GED, and they think dropout(I was home schooled and had to get my GED, so believe me, I know.) However, they see your going through college and that opinion changes.

I was going to college, hated it now I'm avoiding it. Really, you just have to get your first few jobs and do a GOOD job. You'll get boss recommendations and maybe some good references, which really help in finding another, better, job.
There are sooooo many out there, a lot requiring very little to no schooling at all. The hardest part is just finding them... a lot of smaller businesses don't even know they could use more help until it comes along, just keep your eyes open for places you would not mind working at. Any goal is better than none.

I heard running a porn site and selling Tshirts brings home the bacon.

i would say go to a trade school, its nothing like what school actually is. it's all hands on... its awesome. Besides with a trade or two under your belt, you'll be able to get a job a little easer.

^Right above there^

Well... I guess finding someone you're close to that runs a business would be good. If not then.... I dont know, really. Cuz my idea original idea was to join the Marines right after HS. But I ended up becoming (on my way) a PTA.

I hear it also makes your parents proud.

I think I'll get back to school first if that happens to me

Got some education first to get a nice job

Well after I had my leg injury that pretty much destroyed my career and stuff I started drinkin and druggin alot and yadda yadda moved to Illinois got my shit togther started working with music. Have a great mentor lol my sisters ex got a cpl emmy nominations and one of his albums went gold so ya he helps alot lol and pretty much ya just doin things day to day...and giving Fakku some love. lol

Go to community colledge? Im not sure if you can get in.

I would like to clarify, I don't think going to a community college is bad, but I have incredibly high standards, which makes no sense given my situation. I also don't see it as being much use to me.

You have to understand, I have no clue what I want to do with my life, pushing myself into any debt at all to get a degree that may not even help me, I just feel it'd be useless.

I'd do it, you need to take risks in life to get rewards. For a steady paying job wich is harder to be snatched from you, a loan is a small price to pay. If you really want to get out and see the world, ide reccomend community colledge first so you can get vacations every once in a while. Plus, you dont know what you want to do unless you try to do it.

I definitely know the feeling. I should have gone to college. I've been unemployed for four years, and I've put out more applications over the years than I can count, and I haven't even gotten as far as an interview. Also a nasty habit of my fear of driving. Driving a car is pretty darn important, especially if you don't live in a metropolitan which I don't.

with a GED I'm sure you can enroll in a tech school, why not try that?

Edit: Just give it some thought find what you like doing and try to find a degree program in that feild.

Tech jobs are starting to fall in demand though. Computer based jobs are still high in the market, but they are past their peak and starting to fall in demand. Oddly enough one of the highest right now is teachers, even despite the economy and teacher buyouts. I think it is something like sixty percent of teachers are within five years of the retirement age and the demand is skyrocketing for new teachers. *shrugs*

Thats good because I'm going into education. also when I said tech scholo I mean aq community/tech school a school where you can learn a trade or get started on a full college degree.

Tranqs, I thought you were freelancing? ):
Which would count as experience if you remember to get lots of adulating client's statements. And it would furthermore get you connections "in the industry".
As Zigs said, experience is what matters, but never underestimate vitamin C - I've seen so many total stooges getting hired just because they knew the brother of the cousin of the father-in-law of the next door neighbour of the mother of the fly on the nutsack of the dog of the bosses' secretary, it's not even funny anymore.



Every job you can get is going to be terrible, as no job that pays the equivalent or in excess of fiftythousand dollars per month is worth the suffering. So, every job is going to make you miserable, you might as well take whatever comes your way. Except the army. Seriously, don't do it, man.

What do I do when I realize I made a wrong choice? Hate myself, and plenty of it.
Ahhh, crustily delicious.

If I was you, I'd find some skill I have that's somewhat rare and refine it to a point where you can be paid for it. Perhaps you can be a web designer for a company?

I wish you luck in finding a job that won't make you miserable, chase the dream Tranq, chase the dream.

Kill Sin, take his money. Problem solved for a while.
