I've been struggling a lot lately and could use some advice

>Be me, 18
>Been sheltered my entire life
>Parents fight constantly to the point where I'm numb to it
>Shitty mom but my dad trys hard
>Parents can't divorce because we're too poor
>Try to get a job but nothing has worked out yet
>Constantly yelled at about not having a job sitting in your mom's basement blah blah blah
>my mom officially checked out of typical mom duties (cooking,cleaning etc) about 5 years ago
>A few years ago she left my dad and us for a month and it was the lowest point in my life. my dad cried every night struggling to work and take care of my brothers and I.
>My dad tried to leave my mom after she cheated (don't know for sure) but it was too expensive for him to stay elsewhere.
>My dad is no longer the same man and is aggressive and distant from everyone
>I'm trying to save for college but jobs around here are hard to get but I think it'll work out in the end
>All I want to do is become successful and give back to my dad and brothers someday
>Being sheltered as kid has made me not prepared for the "real world"
>My mom is pushing my dad to kick me out and then I'm truly screwed and so are my brothers

I so desperately want to get out of this situation so I can move on and do something with my life. I have great ideas and plans for the future I just need to get some money and an education first.

Page 7 and no one can help?

OP here. I guess Sup Forums has let me down

...

really, you can't find ANY job?

As shitty as the idea of debt of debt is, student loans. Apply for grants if they are available. Bust your ass in school and get good grades, work any job you can get even if it is minimum wage fast food. Find a school with decent graduation rates and post college employment rates in field. Do whatever you have to do to get into and then out of college with a degree that will allow you to get a decent job. If you do find a job while in school save money. As much as you can, for as long as you can. Work towards the future and keep your head up. It's not going to be easy, but it will be doable. Good luck user.

Hey OP, sorry it took so long to respond to you but I'm in the exact situation man. Parents had shit lives themselves as kids so it was only natural they sheltered the fuck out of me especially after losing one of my siblings.

After college I plan on running an organization I've been drafting up that will allow for young adults in Houston to get settled into the world of law and intern with some friends of mine who will be in the field, but I dont mind building connections and possibly expanding my future organization's mission by helping collegiates in other fields. If you want to help me build this thing and get inexperienced people like you and me into the real world then hit me with a contact. I'm all ears.

sell drugs m8

My grandparents have a some money for me for school and I'll apply for a grant. I'm going to the local Costco and dropping off a resume because they need people like me apparently.

I don't wanna go that route as it rarely works out in the long run.

Great plan. I hope everything works out well for you!

That's sounds really interesting and I'd definitely consider working with you. I live in eastern Canada so Houston is far away and forgive me for being cautious but idk how we should get in contact.

Kill mum

OP here

As much as I dislike her that will never happen

>saving up for college
>being a poorfag and not taking advantage of FAFSA or the plethora of other grants available to fund your education
>being this new

Go everywhere, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Hand in a shit ton of applications. If you can go in person, dress well and if you don't hear back after a week or two go in and ask. Just keep putting apps in everywhere and once you get a job, keep it. Build experience and references. That shit is important when looking for better jobs in the future.

you can always join the military. If your not afraid of working, there's the army or marines. navy is pretty busy to. if your a fairy, and ejoy sucking cocks you can always join the air force.

I'm going to take advantage of some grants and FAFSA is American I'm pretty sure

If by being new you mean a newfag to Sup Forums then you're correct but idc

This OP just apply to a community college to start out and see if this is path you want to walk down

collegehumor.com/video/7040575/the-real-truth-about-financial-aid-psa

I'm considering joining the Canadian Army but am worried I'm not cut out for it.
I kinda don't want to trade being yelled at home for being yelled at my job or is it not that bad?

My father just gave me a loan of 450,000$. I'm going to spend all of it in order to make your life as shitty as I possibly can you piece of garbage I don't think you understand how many fucking bombs 450,000$ can buy. Retract your statement of retardation or prepare to be blown out of the sky faggot.

I'm really good with tech but a lot of the courses require calculus in highschool and I never got that far. Although I could take in in college idk if id even pass. There is a network administration course I could take but idk if it will lead to a well paying job

Maybe you're in the same situation as me but if you wanna poke fun go ahead.

If you're still here how do you wanna get in contact? How will I know it's you

If you're not a degenerate join Air Force isn't that what you mean.

On second thought, I wont give my contact, but I will tell you this.

In 10 years, if I am still alive and all went well for me, google "The Most Honest Lawyer"

If I come up in the search, you'll know I made it and I'll be there to help. Write this down! I'll see you in a decade, user. Screenshot this and send to my future self if you can.

go air force, they are a bunch of fucking morons. Army will make you into more of a man, but you will be going over seas to do fucked up shit. Navy is a lot of BS on ships, but you have a few good options for carrers & trades out of the military.

Something that will end in a red seal when you get out is the way to go. You can go to a sjw paradise university, but it's a shit show and probably going to have no practical use in the real world. If you can get into a career that will get you into a red seal, you'll make more money your first year than a liberal arts student can dream about.

Thank you so much I hope we both become successful and someday cross paths best of luck to you my friend.

nah, if your male and enjoy sucking cock, the air force is probably the best bet,

However, they do have some good trades. There are too many shit ones though, and recruiters like to push people into the army so they can be a MSEOP , aka driver. It's a bullshit trade where you get to ferry a bunch of asshole around or drive a truck.

If you really want a job, just go to a temp staffing agency. Fill out an application, and you're guaranteed to get a job. A shitty one, but a job.

this.
proof of the "sheltered" part but not actually ready to properly admit it to himself/overcome it yet.

also, thinking this is either a lame attempt to get pity money, or some anti-women trolling.

I think my army has pretty good opportunities and I choose the military route I'd go army and be a combat engineer because they teach you trade skills.

OP here. What do you mean?

Combat engineer, where you get a 200kg backpack and chase brown people through the hills of afganastan. They also generally make you a MSE op. So, have fun driving people around , and being a general grunt. Pic related, hat'll be you

What would you suggest?

Consider working your way into a labor union. Electrical is probably best. Terrific pay, guaranteed raises (Not the pussy type that employers offer), great benefits, and people that actually look out for you.

You're 18. That's young. Just remember that people your age have come to the Americas not even speaking the local language and through sheer determination become successful.

College isn't always the answer.... You're young so try for it, but experience is always valued more. I know more than one person who lied about having college, worked the job for as long as possible then when they demanded to see a degree moved on, then they had a few months experience and lied about college again, and again, until eventually they had years of experience. There's always a way to be successful if you're savvy enough.

Keep taking chances and failing. It's the best way to learn that you'll be okay, don't get caught up in debt and keep trying your best at everything. In a few years you will be tough as fuck, you won't even recognize yourself. God's speed user.

go navy, be a mechanic or machinist. both good paying jobs when you get out, that aren't high stress bullshit jobs. Worst you will have to do is be stuck on a ship, but you won't be running around some shit tier country chasing brown people who want to kill you. Also, really easy to get into the coast guard when you get out and make bank to be on an icebreaker in the great white north

Have you looked into job corp?

Unless you have some kind of circumstance which prevents you to, you should be able to find a job and at the very least, fill your time doing something productive. Dishwasher landscaper construction labor cashier cart pusher all of these things require 0 experience.

You're absolutely right. I think I'm holding myself back without realizing. Tomorrow I'm gonna go ham with the resumes and I'll post if all goes well.

get out there and start pushing them out. Jobs are there for people who want to work.

Have you applied at Walmart, McDonald's, Target, Subway, Wendy's, local factories, school district, Pizza Hit, movie theater, Home Depot, gas station, or volunteered at a charity that might later help you find a job? If the answer to any of these is no, then you aren't really trying to get a job. Here's a protip, you can always find a better job WHILE you are working.

The best of luck to you, it'll get better

I'm realizing now that I certainly can try harder. Family shit kinda makes me want to just hide and wait and see if it goes away but that's no excuse.

Also, thanks for titties in my time of need

Elevator mechanics make pretty good money ($78,890 a year), you learn though apprenticeship, and you don't need more than a high school diploma to do it

Is it the kind of job that could lead to more opportunities?

if you have good wills in your area theyll hook you up with a job instantly they work with alot of companies to employ people

HOLY FUCK! Look at that those pants. They look so god damn comfy.

Kek

Do as others have said and join the military. Yes you'll get shouted at, but its not that often after basic. Plus you can help your Dad out with money.

Is canada still sending troops overseas?

I don't think so. Trudeau loves Isis

>Waaaaaahhhh
>my pussy hurts
An hero, 18 and already a faggot, use logic.

So there ya go op. If you go the military route you probably won't see combat. If i were in your shoes id probably look into construction, you dont need education and they always pay decent. You just cant be afraid to actually work for your money. Lots of people make carreers out of it.

yup. all the places where muslims want to blow up and behead non muslims, like egypt, syria, pakisan, london, germany

most of the guys i know who are army, were mse ops, they are all fucked up with ptsd, and have been in active war zones constantly for their entire career. It's the worst trade in the canadian military. Yes, your a driver, however, that means they send you into every shithole to get shot at and fucked with.

oh, if he goes army they will. They are trying to get mse ops right now. Worst trade going.

Nothing better to do?

Go to trade school or get a job as a rigger or welder. Its hard work but pays really well and yoi start earning real money fast. Use that money to get on your feet, invest agressively then start your own business or to college in your mid to late 20s. Youll have the money then and know what you want to do.

Dont worry OP. Things will get better. I promise you.

Same goes to
Incase you were wondering i was homeless seven years ago

OP do what this guy says. College is way too expensive for someone in your situation. Trade school is a good option, at least for the next decade or so before those jobs are automated as well. At the very least, it'll buy you some time to acquire real job skills that'll be viable in the long term.

Thank you so much, this has given me hope. There's an ebgames (cuz Canada) and a few thrift shops as well as a Walmart I'm going to go apply at tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it someday like you.

Just get a job OP, I mean i know its a lot easier said than done but if you cant find any in your area then try finding one in the next city or the one next to that. Also take fucking advantage FAFSA. Like I'm sure that will be enough to keep you afloat for 4 years. Tops. Also while you're at it when you get a little more money, try and apply for low income housing and get yourself and maybe your brothers out of there.

this

Youll be better one day. Dont worry.

One of my brothers will be moving out in a couple years and the other my parents treat well. I almost don't want my family to break up but I know it will be for the better.

Exactly, try and talk to your brothers about this. I mean they're your family after all. I'm sure you'll be able to reach some kind of agreement.

I agree, join the military, do a 4 year contract in the Navy, Air force or Coast Guard, not the marines or army you are gonna get killed and when you get out they pay for school plus the experience that you are going to have. While you travel the world you might meet a lady that might change your life. If you are worried about your brothers you can claim them as dependents and give them healthcare and housing. Best of luck OP

They don't feel the need to get out. I'm pretty sure it's because my mom isn't trying to get them to leave like she is to me. But I'm sure they are next. It's scary because this is all I've known and splitting up could lead to more problems in their lives. Maybe once I get out and on my own things will settle down. Maybe my mom is right in saying I'm the source for the problems but I don't think so.

It seems to me that your mom is insecure about something so therefore she takes it out on you. I could be wrong but I know for a fact that your mom does this for a reason. You know what OP, maybe just maybe things will turn out and for your sake I hope they do. But also I will tell you how it is, you can't rely on certain things to happen in order to achieve something. I just don't want you to get your hopes up. However, at the same time it seems like you moving out and becoming independent will really benefit you. Your bros will see you be successful and they will follow your example and you can even help them out and give back and they'll do the same. Good luck OP, I really wish you luck and I hope and pray things turn up for you man.
