Basically I am 23 years old, no job or education. I spent my entire life being abused in an orphanage then caring for my grandmother against my abusive family, I am not seeking sympathy just understanding of why I am so useless. What should I be doing now to work towards having some form of life. I understand due to my mistakes I have nothing going for me to get a job I would enjoy, I would be more than willing to work like a slave 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. I would not have to enjoy the job, perfect scenario is a job were I could get money sooner rather than later so I can provide a lifestyle for my grandmother in her old age or even make her more comfortable, I would take out a loan even. I was thinking the army is my best bet but was wondering if anyone here has any advice, thank you.
I am 23 and my life is over early
Damn homie, that's some shit.
Either learn a trade or go to school for something lucrative, DO NOT work just random shitty jobs with no upward prospects it's a waste of time

That’s some real shit there OP. Where in the world are you based (for some specific advice)?
The UK
>I was thinking the army is my best bet but was wondering if anyone here has any advice, thank you.
I would go military, since you grew up in an orphanage and all, military life should be a "good" next phase for you. That said, military will consume your life once you join it, so be mentally prepared.
I grew up in the U.S. military and enjoyed it, military life is frugal but it's a camaraderie of sorts and you miss the life once you're back out in the civilian world. Sometimes, I look down on civilians. I would do your research though, but given your situation I think the discipline and opportunity the military affords you can work in your advantage. That said, when it comes to picking jobs, be stingy and stand your ground, make sure you pick a job you like and don't be afraid to make the recruiter wait for months or even a year.
Given your age, this is an ideal time to join. I honestly think 18-year old kids who join the military are too young, and once you hit 30 it'll be too late for you. You're really in the sweet spot to join the military since you're not just some young bumpfkin but you also have the vitality of your younger years. I would listen to because really the key thing is to invest in yourself and make long-term goals and achieve them. There's a scientific study that talks about setting goals and achieving them, that it makes you feel better and it's a snowballing effect. Anyways, keep at it brother, I know life is tough and life can like an olive, it has a pit deep in it. God bless.
Learn a trade or better yet become a mailman. Mailman requires nothing but a high school degree and pays 50k+ a year.

My issue with the army is I still have a lot of lingering mental problems. I am very pessimistic of people. I have a huge sleep phobia kind of thing it is hard to deal, and my mind is still fragile
