lmmfaooooo ...I AIN'T NARC ON NOBODY, I AIN'T NARC ON NOBODY !!!

okay, 34 ... i don't live at home, but acting like i wouldn't ain't something i'm willing to say, if it were still an option.. & to act as if just because someone is living at home makes them a "bum" is foolish & ignorant, there are many reasons why millennials aren't leaving home.. gone are the days where someone can graduate, go to college, get a job making 40k with benefits, work their way up & retire with full benefits .. let's utilize some logic in the conversations instead of being so belittling & dismissive.If a person is 35 living at home, dude is hardly a millennial. Dude is a bum.
To give OP credit, I didn't start real living till almost at age 28. I was living at home the whole time but just broke out to live like a poor man to at least have freedom. Being 22 years old is really young still. I would say there is tons of life ahead of you still. Go to community college or if you can afford it, a trade school. Hell, work at Costco cause I think you get like $18 an hour with benefits and yearly increases. Just do something with some sort of credit behind it where it can benefit you for the next job.
To make a long story short, I'm 22 and working a dead end job right now. Fast food and barely making more than minimum wage. I restore kicks locally and make a few extra bucks. I'm still living with my parents so I can afford to pay the little bills I have. My car note is :x tho.
If I would have went to school I would be finished right now. Considering going to a community college. Just need help right now tho.
Any places you guys can think of that pay pretty good for a guy in my shoes?

The reason why I went back to school at your age was because of that reason. I was washing cars for 60 hrs/week, making barely over minimum wage. Be aware though that college isnt for everyone. I'd say give it a semester or two and try your best. If you can get good grades during that time and keep it up for another 3-4 years, you should be fine. That piece of paper helped me earn a job that pays 3.5x more than that job while working less hours.I'm 21 and in a similar situation as well. I HATE my job, it's getting depressing. I work way too hard for horrible hours. People working fast food are making better checks than me. There's plenty opportunity to move up over time, but it's not worth it for the hours I'm getting.
I plan on going back to community to do something with my life. Living check to check, working for someone else is not living life. Hope you can get it together and things fall into place OP. I feel your pain.
I went to community when I was 17-18 but quit because I wasn't mentally mature enough. School definitely isn't for me, but I honestly don't know what else to do. It's either that or trade school. But I think I'm mature enough now to just do what I have to do to get where I want to be.The reason why I went back to school at your age was because of that reason.

@BLASTERCOMBOEveryone here is being very nice to you so I'll go the other way and bring some hard truth. So far you've been a bum. Fast food? Why did you even agree to that in the first place? Restoring shoes?? What are you 13?!?? STOP. You still live with your parents, good. Now, beg them to take care of your car payment so you can quit that job and either go to school, or as others have said, join some type of apprenticeship. As of now you've amounted to nothing, BUT NOW is the time you change all that.
Brah, I literally said the same thing when I was 18. I got in trouble with my law my first semester and eventually failed all of my classes and dropped out. Took several years off because I saw myself more of a blue collar worker and wanted to earn a paycheck. Ended up taking on some deadend jobs but doing backbreaking work helped motivate me to go back to school, especially since I was a couple years behind some of my smarter peers. It was definitely a wakeup call since I see some of my peers aiming pretty high. I went back to school a few years later not expecting much. I wouldve been happy with some Bs and Cs but had the motivation to go for straight As. I ended up getting straight As during my first semester and the rest was history.I went to community when I was 17-18 but quit because I wasn't mentally mature enough.

college loans are crowding out home mortgages
Not even going to bother reading anything posted in here.
-Sell your car and get rid of that note.
-Buy a significantly cheaper car (with no note)
-Stack monies from your fast food job
-Take a few computer classes at the community college (java, c++, html i'd say).
-If you like it now you have a career path in mind and a million ways to end up with a 100k job within 3-5 years.
Become a nurse...relatively short schooling and the pay is great
Appreciate the motivation and the encouragement.Brah, I literally said the same thing when I was 18.

You might not think school is for you right now but you might get that same wakeup call one day. Start by surrounding yourself around motivated and successful people. They will help make you feel that you need to step your game up.
