Try having to take an elementary algebra course in community college. I was stupid for not having studied as much as I should have but I was more focused and still focused on finding an reasonable paying job. I didn't have much concern for the assessment test or college as a whole. I just wanted work experience first and foremost. Unfortunately due to family pressures, I have to go through with this bull crap.
I would like to teach English or do something in writing. Another idea of mine, incase the English degree proves to be worthless, would be to get into some trade jobs. I've also considered the idea of getting into construction, painting, and possibly even firefighting. I have always liked jobs that take you out of the house and force you to work your ass off. It's a pain at times but afterwards, you feel a great sense of accomplishment for the day. I've had some experience landscaping with a friend and I loved it.
I doubt I need college to obtain these sorts of jobs, but I have to go through it nonetheless because parents. I'm also jobless and without a drivers license. My plan is to get a simple retail job, get my damn driver's license, save up, take the damn two years at the community college, then move out.
I'm sorry parents but I need a freakin break after that. I need time to think and explore my opportunities before I even think about finishing the remaining 2-4 years at a university. -_-
