So, basically I'm 25 years old. I've only held one job in my life and that was a summer job where I sold Cutco knives. I've been to college twice and had to drop out twice because my parents lied to me twice about paying my tuition. Now I'm about $40,000+ in debt, and I only have one more year to defer my student loans. I want to go back to school, but I have no money to do so. I've applied for jobs non-stop for that last two years and I've been completely unable to find anything, or anyone who wants to hire me. I'm at the end of my rope. And to top it off my mom treats me like I'm a failure, when 75% of my situation is her fault.
What the ******** can I do?!
Out of curiosity, what have you been doing for the past 7 years or so?
Is Job Corps an option? Are there other job-finding aids in your area, especially from state or city government?
The only other option I can think of would be to find a volunteer organization to work at for six months. Then you'll have some recent work experience, you'll have a couple of professional references, and you may meet someone through volunteering who's able to get you a better job. It won't get you a job, but it'll increase your chances of getting one.
