Why is life so hard?

[MusicTokuXX]

Getting a job is so hard, especially if you never graduated high school. You never got a diploma. I have no idea what to do with my life! I’m 24, i feel so lost and stuck! I have no motivation. I want to move on

I would suggest you get your GED and some college. When you go to college, keep your GPA up around 3.5 so you can get scholarships to pay for your schooling and apply for internships. Don't work a full-time job in college. It will be too much and mess up your grades, and you need a scholarship and good grades. So, only stick to internships.

Another thing, don't listen to Prageru or YouTube videos where they tell you college is useless; that's mostly bullshit. Usually, the guys that drop out and make it big were already born into wealth and had a trust account and millions of dollars in the bank. Like one of the guys I saw on pragerU had a trust fund account, and he was telling people how he made it without college. A lot of companies won't take you seriously without a degree, you know from experience.

It's mostly propaganda because most educated people don't vote for their party. Sure, Bill Gates made it big as a college dropout, but he also had a computer room before any university had a computer in them. You're going to be failing out of algebra to become Bill Gates, so you'll be making a good choice.

So get started on your GED; you need it and avoid propaganda that's trying to put you in a bad position in life.

And I just saw your comment. I know a lot of people with autism who went to college and got GEDs. You can definitely do it. Don't let your disability define you.

Don’t let my disability define me? You obviously have no idea how hard it is in my perspective. The GED is hard as hell and it feels so much harder than high school ever was. I was never good at school. I have a learning disability

[MusicTokuXX]

And also How would you get scholarships while you’re already in college? What does that mean?

[myacaii]

You should definitely try to either get a highschool diploma or something equivalent to one. That’s usually the bare minimum most jobs will require and will help you lots in your job search. High school is a lot less optional than college/uni

[MusicTokuXX]

@myacaii I have a learning disability and I have autism, it’s hard for me to learn. School was really hard for me. So I really hope i can find a job where that doesn’t matter.

[myacaii]

I can see how that would make it more challenging, you should try to apply for accommodations. You could get a job without the diploma but chances for anything above minimum wage are slim, in the long run the diploma/GED will be a huge help. your grades don’t even have to be great to reap the benefits

It's not too late to figure it out. Find something you like doing OR learn a skill that is in demand. Tech is a good start. Learn, get some experience, do a shitty job or two, and coast for the rest of your life.

@Ironic_Method what are you talking about? Explain pls. Wdym, how does that help?

Having a job that pays well and/or that you don't hate greatly improves your quality of life. With that secured, other things tend to fall into place easier.
