Do really mediocre in high school because they're "really smart but don't feel like trying"

>Get into a B-tier local college and go for something they assume is "practical" like engineering or programming
>Fail or drop out because its too hard, make excuses such as "no one makes money with a four year degree anyway"
>Work a landscaping/mechanic/apprentice gig for about a year before they burn out and realize they should've stayed in school
>Go back to community college for something like business, realize its useless, drop out again
>Sit around at their parents' house, talking about how they're going to enroll in trade school or enlist in the military and just never do
>Bounce between minimum wage jobs bitching about how no one develops marketable skills anymore while the majority of people they went to high school with completed their degrees and are now involved in careers

I'm not even joking when I say that a solid 20 to 30 people I grew up with are like this, and almost all of them are involved in far-right or far-left politics.

yeah
great

Wars are an opportunity for poor people to thin their own heards

Yeah, but boomers tho

You know what caused this?

They shipped the jobs to China.

While importing 3rd worlders who will work for scraps.

>Literally me
>finished high school, never had to work hard to pass so didn't develop a strict study timetable, just studied last hour and passed higher than my peers
>got pressured into colege but realise its same as high school and everyone acted like kids so didn't like it. ( i thought it would be like 90s American uni movies with subjects that are about your interests and you could freely assists or not the classes)
>decide to drop out and work for a bit, thinking what to do next maybe some years in military because I have contacts.
>be told its best to do some higher education for a better position in military.
>go to IT clases to get a degree
>have an accident and damage my spinal cord and be paralysed waist down
>it's been years now I'm in my mid twenties with no future or plan just a high school degree and a wheelchair

At least I'm not a leftie

who cares

this is basically me except;
>got into A-tier local college and went for someting impractical (arts)
>never worked landscaping / practical trade job

i used to be pretty far-left, but weirdly had far-right tendancies. I was quite influenced by my peer group which was very far-left.
Once my peer group broke apart (just drifting apart over time now school is over etc) I gradually embraced the right wing side of me.

well, your English is pretty good.
i worked with a Spanish guy once in a restaurant. His ex-girlfriend was in a wheelchair. I felt for that dude, must've been tough.

Its almost like the American Dream has failed many people and they are now looking at more radical forms of solving society's problems

tl:dr OP realized that sucking dick is the realming of his life.

What advice would you give their current selves

>His ex-girlfriend was in a wheelchair.
Thot status: patrolled

Good goy.

Any options for someone similar like this who wishes to find self-employment? I dropped out twice, once due to physical medical complications forcing me to lose a scholarship and once due to me hating everyone in the urban community college to the point of not seeing any future there. I'm considering going back but it very well could be a third time i quit. I don't want to do min wageslave shit forever.

'speshially cos there's no gibs in Spain. once you're spasticated, that's it, might as well shoot you like a horse.

Since you've mentioned medical stuff I assume the military is out of the question for you.
My advice would be to try and look for jobs OUTwth cities. It's getting increasingly competitive in cities. A less impressive CV will go further in the sticks. Big fish little pond and all that.
it'll also probably be more white demographically so theres that too. that's my advice. Go more suburban / rural.

Just find some sugar mommy. Fuck this life.

>Do really mediocre in high school because they're "really smart but don't feel like trying"
Been there, done that.
>Get into a B-tier local college and go for something they assume is "practical" like engineering or programming
B+ tier was good enough for me
Story changes though
>Work mimumum wage job for year
>By car in cash
>Start 2 year college
>Break up with thot gf because she needs every second of my time
>Quit second shit-job to finish school a little faster
>Get STEM related job before graduation because I can shoot out resumes faster than companies can read them
>Graduation is around the corner and I'm already working degree related career
>Down-payment on house is just one year away
>Still debt free until house
>23 y/o here
>Will never go to uni

>Le radical centrist tries to take the moral highground by calling people on both ends of the spectrum stupid and uneducated failures.
Lol fuck you Sargoy and/or Juden Peterstein. I was going to give a response to each point from my personal experience, but you aren't worth it.

i would absolutely love a sugar mommy. I'm fairly lean, I could be naked but for an apron doing her housework while she struts around ballbreaking in a powersuit all day in her office job. Then she comes home to me and with a steady diet of viagra pound her brains out all night. i have no work to go to, so my morning wood is her breakfast. Everyone is wondering why she's late for work every day; she doesnt want to risk telling them the truth - that she's getting years fucked out of her by a stud half her age. Meanwhile I'm chilling in her place, shitposting on Jow Forums and jerking off. Unless it's a weekend in which case I'm saving myself up for her Sunday facial when I splooge all over her face and she lets it dry in (semen has anti-ageing qualities). I get a steady wage for my role as her studmuffin, and she gets a wild ride and powertrip all at the same time. Everybody's happy. Plus, the young thots my age are BTFO. Sugar momma cougars can become like our version of the old rich men thots marry. Because young nubile white virgins simply don't exist, just get some money out of it.

This was hot until I saw your flag and read it in a British accent.

Fag

Pretty much but I graduated college and bounced back into grad school while working part time. But I'm fortunate to have generous parents

>while the majority of NPCs they went to high school with completed their degrees and are now involved in monotonous insect careers

>did perfect in HS and academic competition
>be white blue collar trailer trash who's family makes just enough to not qualify for gibs but not enough to pay for medical bills
>goto shit-tier school for engineering on academic scholarship even though scoring near perfect on SAT's because that's the only way I could pay for college

Have a great job, am humble, and work hard. Life is still pretty good, but always wish I had the opportunity to get a phd and really dive into R&D instead of my current job. I really feel like I would have fit better in a bleeding edge environment rather than a 40+ year old plant.

As soon as I had my bachelor's had to start working to support family since dad got sick. I have no regrets with regard to the path taken as I feel it was morally correct, but I really wonder what I could have contributed to the world if I had started life with more resources. I'm hoping my kids end up becoming doctors or get other advanced technical degrees.

I bring this up because I have a few other friends in the same boat. We all encouraged eachother to better ourselves and rise above our origins.

Honestly if you don't have the drive to be better than the previous generation and strive to make the next generation better than you, then the American dream doesn't exist inside of you and you are a waste of opportunity.

>am humble
am a liar

Spot on. This describes a lot of people I knew growing up.

There's lots of boring office jobs hiring right now. Sure many of these jobs suck, you might start out making just $40,000 a year or less. But really all you need is just a two or four year degree, but you'd be surprised what could happen if you create a resume and spam it on indeed. Also even if a job sucks, putting some experience under your belt can really go a long way for future jobs. The truth is most of these people don't want to grow up and commit to anything, so they get stuck hopping from really shitty job to really shitty job just so that they can make enough money to party on the weekends.
