I work 12 hr shifts at a call center everyday and it makes me cry everyday. I flunked out of college and have $30k debt. After rent, utilities, student loans, gas, food, insurance, I have nothing. Im so close to offing myself. How do I work from home and earn a living income?

That's a depressing life. Why not just major in the easiest shit like english?
That way you can become a teacher and get paid middle class wages for basic as fuck work.
Camden Ross
I think you need to get a DUI to put the icing on the cake, or perhaps an incurable STD.
Jeremiah Russell
save up enough for a van to live in and then just bum it around and say fuck the debt. Don't go out without at least trying to enjoy it. Take out a credit card and max it out, then just drop off the grid.
Michael Jenkins
I would rather not have a retard like a OP as teacher for our future generation
Elijah Bailey
most teachers are just glorified tard wranglers anyway
Henry Allen
Most of school is bullshit anyways. Having your kids learn GE classes even by "the best teacher" won't make them more marketable for jobs.
Joseph Morris
yeah highschool is bullshit, so is college, but university can be god tier if you take the right classes.
my university had a machine shop with and lathe, cnc machines, plasma cutters, welders, 3D printers, injection molding ect.
they also had an awesome robot lab with over 50 robots, all of different types.
I program robots for a living now, I have the best ob security you can have in this economy. because the last guys that will get replaced are people who repair and program the automation equipment that replaces you. If I play my cards right I'll get in a job making sic figs in 5 years. I'm basically fresh out of school and already making 80k per year. and I barely even do any work I tweak the robot programs sometimes and help design new plans for new equipment but the rest of my job is sitting in my office waiting.
the only part that sucks is when I get called in on a weekend because some nigger bumped a vision camera and I have to realign and reprogram it...that can suck.
my recommendation if you ever go to uni go to one with really good hands-on lab equipment...or just full blown machine shops like my uni had.
Carter Evans
Reminder you can make 90k delivering bread

What did you major in?
Also, my point was since most of school is bs, op can just major in easy shit to try to escape the shitty job they have. It's not a good job as it doesn't provide anything of value to kids, but fuck it. If they have to play the game, might as well pick the easiest shit.
Ryder Hall
I miss having access to that machine shop, because now if I have an idea for a project I have to remember I can't just throw a block of metal in a CNC machine...feels bad I didn't even get to finish my chess set when I was there. even though I was the only one who used the CNC lathe a lot...I feel like some of the students were either afraid to break the equipment or were too snobby to get their hands dirty either way they never seemed to want to use any of it. I was in there every day when I didn't have homework.
William Edwards
I used to live that call center life. Horribly depressing. Gained like 40 lbs and was depressed. Just move home and start over dude.
Jordan Ramirez
Mechanical engineering with a minor in robots and automation. I'm a mechanical engineer that knows how to program, pretty marketable combo.
Andrew Young
Man I wish i could do that but I'm a brainlet

If enough people with student debt kills themselves it will cause worse economic disaster than 2008.
You will be dead of course but the rest of us will be eating your corpses to survive.
Colton Morgan
i heard student loans are exempt from defaulting in the us
tell them you cant afford to pay more than $20 a month and just live with the debt, it's not going to go down anyway
dont off yourself because of debt, that's retarded
you can't go to prison for being in debt (hopefully that goes for the us as well)
you have power over your creditors, make a deal with them that still allows you a dignified life
Carson Watson
also if OP majors in "easy shit" he won't get a job in it because everyone else is taking those same easy classes for the same reason.
in my Programmable Logic Controllers class, we started with 48 students, small class but my uni was a small uni. and by the end of the class, there were only 12 students left...I barely passed that class myself with a C.
Alexander Ramirez
Student loans can default. The only way to get rid of them without full payment is to enter into a payment program and prove you make poorfag wages every year for the next thirty years
or join peace corps
Carter Jenkins
you can learn to code on your own at the very least...I mean I wouldn't let you touch a robot or a press that could kill someone without knowing how forces, vectors and inverse/forward kinematics work. But you could be a web dev for fairly cheap too.
go to Treehouse, udemy, even youtube. find some videos, download Visual studio community edition, code blocks, python and just start coding. build a portfolio and use that in your resume do freelance work and eventually, you might be able to get a job in it i the meantime you can try writing an app in android studio(android is easier to write for than apple) and try selling it.

Difficulty is not what determines if someone will get a job. It's just about demand.
Christian Reyes
if classes are difficult fewer students will take them, that's why there is a shortage of engineers in America and they are being shipped in from China and India on H1B visas.
If classes are easy many students will take them and you'll find it difficult to find a job when there is a surplus of teachers. that's why teachers get shit for pay. If you unironically think they get middle class wages you're retarded.
Austin Martin

Dominic Watson
also speaking of demand
Easton Rivera
>If classes are easy many students will take them and you'll find it difficult to find a job when there is a surplus of teachers.
Well aware what you're saying but what I'm saying is I don't believe there will be a huge surplus of teachers despite it being easy to get into.
"Middle school teachers have an unemployment rate of 2.8 percent"
Unfortunately, I can't find underemployment rates, but it seems to be 2.8% of people who want to teach or have taught in a middle school are unemployed while the rest have been able to find jobs as teachers.
It varies by field of study, but I can't find anything about teachers struggling to find work.
Liam Rivera
Jackson Myers
well, teaching isn't necessarily easy anyways. we also need math teachers.
most people going to college these days take easy classes like sociology or gender studies.
Ryan Turner
Teaching k-12 is probably the easiest middle class job. Routine based, miniscule micromanagement, and good pay. It's basically a glorified babysitting job.
Adam Cruz
you have to get straight A's in order to get the degree, how is that easy?
Gavin Watson
>you have to get straight A's in order to get the degree, how is that easy?
What? No, you don't.
"Teaching for America" would accept anyone with at least a 2.5 gpa for instance
Nicholas Robinson
can somebody post the Wojak Amazon Horse Blinder Wageduck Wojak
Robert Barnes
depends on where you teach really
if you get a a school in a nice suburb where the parents are middle-upper middle then you'll be comfy but if you're in a lower class place in the country or in the inner city, good luck getting enrique and jaykwrondius to stay the fuck off their phones and pay attention to the lesson long enough for them to actually be able to pass their tests. Cause if they don't, the admin is going to be up your ass asking why you didn't hit your fucking performance quotas for the semester and why you aren't teaching your kids properly despite them having drug addict parents that fucked them up beyond repair long before they even landed into your classroom.
oh and did i mention it pays like shit? If you have student loans, you're fucked. trying living on a teacher's salary while all your money disappears towards rent and student loans while also having to pay out of pocket for school supplies for your kids since the schools have no budget to give you any money for basic shit like copies or flashcards. but fuck that right? let's just cram in 45 kids into the same place to cut costs and not give the teacher adequate support for teachers to control the fucking zoo they created.
t. teacher.
Nolan Cooper
In a similar situation but not a fucked as OP. Im currently doing this but instead my motive is to manage nets and dev mining payloads in hopes of passive income. Is this doable?
Jack Watson
This is what should happen.
Landon Ward
dam dude. sucks to suck.
Christian Fisher
>5 years
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
oh wait, you're serious?
You like getting your ass fucked, huh?
Like eating dirt, retard?
What a loser, 5 fucking years for a better pay, HAHAHAHAHAHA
Julian Ramirez
you can't even pay them off with public service. the public service loan forgiveness program was a fucking lie. The first people who should be cashing in on that program got absolutely fucked by minutia. something like 90% of people who thought they qualified for it ended up getting rejected for bureaucratical details that nobody even knew existed let alone told them about. don't believe me? fucking read this article.
