What am I doing with my life?

[mongePR(kb24)]

Im on my cousins account right now. I'm 23 years old. I graduated highschool barely passing. I moved from Arizona to Oregon when I was 18 and used money from my grandparents will and testimony to purchase a trailer home and a German Shepard. I work a construction job and have no friends out here But i communicate with my cousin Austin though.haven't had a girlfriend in a few years. I drive a truck. I'm basically stuck in a dead end job and I didn't go to college. Always figured it pointless. I'm alone and living in a trailer with my 5 year old dog Brutus. I have no ambitions. I don't want a house or commitments and such I just never had the feel but I'm stuck and don't feel right with myself right now. What am I doing with my life and what are your opinions?

Im 21 myself but I'm a late bloomer, been on and off with college until i just recently put my mind into studying something I will really enjoy. Search for a career you find interesting.

Also, if you play video games, stop immediately. I find video games are detrimental to your aspirations. I remember when I was really into call of duty all I cared about was getting home from school or work to play more.

[Take Your Lumps]

Do you have a hobby you're passionate about? Find a way to make money from it online through a website/blog/youtube/etc...even if it's a $50-100/month goal at first that might pay your phone or water bill.

Keep plugging away until you can leave the dead-end job behind. Step 1 is to unplug yourself from a soul sucking existence of a dead-end job. After that, you may find that you'll be better equipped to not only examine your life but be able to actually do something about it.

not to be a d*ck but you probably won't have much success with woman if you are living in a trailer.

There's always time to go back to school man. I was a career underachiever until I decided to stop bring jealous of everyone doing what they love, while I was stuck working for $12 an hour. So at 25, I completely uprooted my life, decided to bite the bullet and temporarily move back home and registered for the Network Engineering program at my local community college. A year later, I've maintained the highest GPA in the program, won a national competition for a Cisco internship, and now I'm working on a second. I've interviewed for 2 jobs this week that start at $45-50k a year and I'm knocking off certification after certification in the meantime.

I've been in your shoes bro, but you can pull yourself out with some sacrifice and hard work. The beautiful thing about this country is you can be pretty much anything you want, so seize every opportunity you have to do it.

youre still young you have time to chase some goals. its not going to happen overnight.

im turning 25 soon and im just now getting my business off the ground while all my friends are doctors or going to be doctors :facepalm . i wish i had what i have now at 22 i wouldnt feel so behind but ohwell i have goals and im getting it done.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Late bloomer too as well. Been through 3 major changes.


First of all u need to start comparing yourself to yourself yesterday.
Secondly you need companionship/support. I'd highly suggest shifting all gears into having a fulfilling social life and concurrently exploring.

The military is also always an option bud.

Have you considered a career in crime?

[cos88]

cheer up lad, at least you don't fukk your dog Brutus.

[Draz]

First. Calm down and take a deep breath. You aren't too old. Your still very young. You just need to make very accurate and wise decisions within the next few days to months to pick up where you should of been. Think about all of the things you are definitely good at, what you enjoy doing and see yourself doing. Make adjustments to your life. If moving is part of the plan then do it.

How do you know? He didn't confirm for or against it..

The only way to live is to find something you are passionate about and work your ass off doing it. It doesn't matter if you make money at it or not either. Starving artist is better than a dead end job. Dead end jobs just sap the energy and life right out of you. Trust me on this man. The work you put in nobody can take away from you. People come and go, things get lost or wear out, but a passion will never die as long as you keep striving to get better and better. Don't worry about a girlfriend, don't worry about money, don't worry about any of that bull... unless your main focus is women or money (which is fine... you want F as many women as possible or find the right girl? Good goal put in the work. You want money? Dead end job = horrible for money. Get into sales or find another job where the potential to make a crap ton of it is.) Just pick one thing, work your ass off and then enjoy the spoils.

I will honestly tell you join the National Guard or reserves. It seems stupid but do it now and you will see the world completely different. And being on inactive duty will be better if you don't like it and worse come to worse if you don't like it, it is easier to be in an inactive duty than active duty.

The experience you will get from being there, the friends you're going to get and the girls you're going to meet is going to change yuor whole view of life.
It did to me at least.

Also you're still young just go to college, you still have time, you're not dead.

[boozehound]

You have your whole life ahead of you. Is there anything you are really engaged with? Anything you are passionate about? The easiest way out of your rut and into a stone cold groove is by changing something that bothers you the most. Maybe this means you take a class or two at the local CC. Maybe you join the coast guard. Maybe you try and switch careers. Its up to you to identify what would make your life more fulfilling. It could be as simple as taking music lessons or getting into a rec league.

I did something similar too. I was in college but I wasn't ready for it. In my case I went to the Air National Guard and completely changed my life. I am going to college and right now I have a great GPA and I am getting free tuition because I am in the honor program of college. And I am still getting money of GI Bill post 911...:lol

I did all that when I was 22 and it was the best thing that happened to me.

[rezznor]

i have had friends who went to prison for ~10 years at 17, got out, and became successful. you are still young, don't give up.

How did the Air National Guard ready you for college?

:cheers: I also think joining the military is a great choice. I wasn't really in financial trouble, but couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my life. The experiences I've had since joining have really helped me pave a way for my future. Best decision I've ever made was enlisting. Btw, I had a friend from Puerto Rico at basic training. Name was Romano. :lol Tells me that place is full of so many fine women. Gotta visit one day.

what did they do to get sent for 10 years at 17? Just curious. that's heavy duty sh*t for a 17 year old.

the guy i was talking about was originally in for burglary. he was actually one of my neighbors and i used to date his sister. he was in a minimum security joint but then when his gf broke up with him he went crazy, escaped, went to her house and held her family hostage for a few hours before they talked him down so he got extra time tacked on. he would have been released in a few months if he hadn't escaped. he now does IT at a hospital.


another guy i grew up with went in for murder, he's out now and owns a few clubs. he tried to get me to go into business with him, but even though he does well and we were good friends in HS i don't want to get involved with him. got too much to lose, and i know he's still doing shady shit.

one other guy i know got about the same amount time for gun running across state lines and did about a decade as well. he's in real estate now.


anyways, the point i was trying to make is you can always pull yourself up if you apply yourself. the OP isn't that old, and he's not a felon. he's probably white too, so that fact alone should give him an advantage over the guys i knew. (asians)
