Ever consider joining the military or applying for jobs/universities out of state?

Pretty much missed the boat on the military. I've had really shitty luck with getting laid off from previous jobs and never really found my real grove. Haven't been able to make ends meet well enough to keep up with rent and other living expenses. Out of state is the best bet but it would be a hell of a gamble if I fuck up.

True. I've always been a 'look before you leap' sort of fellow but it's really bitten me in ass and that's been one of the most bitter redpills I've had to swallow.

If I ever get the chance to start a family no way in hell I make the same mistakes with the helicopter/bulldozer shit.

Find a trade school. Electricians and plumbers make great money and anyone can do it if they’re willing to put in the work. YOU GOT THIS!

Electrician has been sounding good, though I've actually been thinking about metalworking. Would be a great way to shoot two birds with one bullet. Only issue is whether or not the demand is there to justify it.

Well stop thinking and start doing. Figure out a path and start making moves, I’ve found consistently that those that make moves do 100 times better than those that overthink everything and are scared to try new things bc it may not work out. I say this out of love, think and evaluate for a brief time then make a decision and move forward with actions. We never know 100% what the right decision is but you have to have faith, pray for the best, AND TAKE ACTIVE STEPS. Best of luck to you my friend.

Yes. You could do that while still living with your parents. After six months you would know how it was going, and you would have some money saved.

As your parents firmly do not agree with you, it isn't useful to tangle with them verbally.

You can also learn to code python while you think. At least basics.

Don't even have to pay to start http://automatetheboringstuff.com/ Just scroll to bottom table of contents and read away. Remember..code isnt always about building websites or apps.

And no. I'm not a coder either but have been trying to learn basics whenever i have free time

Have you tried all the different branches? Some recruiters will offer waivers for psoriasis depending on how much it affects you
