Did you move out yet?

Since the college I wanted to go to was in the same town I lived in all my life, it was a no brainer living at home. I did help out and pay a variation of rent but nothing too major.

Of course, once I graduated, I decided not only to move out of the house, but the country as well.

Things went rather well living on my own. Granted, the terms of my contract provided me a house, water, heat, amongst other things. The only bills I had were my Internet, phone, cell and my student loan.

That doesn't mean I didn't ask for advice. I asked all the time.

In regards to Lyth, perhaps you can forcefully (but not too forcefully) get your resume out to every place you can find. Even if they aren't looking, by getting your resume out, they might think "Hey, now that I think about it, I do need someone" or if they need to hire someone new think "Hey, this guy did give me a resume recently.". It's worth a shot.

But I agree, go get your GED, then go to a community college. See if that college has a relationship with a large university. Some will let you graduate from a community college for a two year degree, then move onto a university for a four year degree.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
