So I left my last job due to verbal abuse and threats, and now they won’t pay me my 1k they owe me. Because of that I can’t pay off my college tuition and have to beg my patents. No one will hire me either as I’ve applied to now over 30 9-5 jobs with no success. No idea what I’m gonna do and I’m fucking panicked because I don’t need thousands in debt when I’m 19.

    Go physically to small companies in your neighborhood. Knock on doors, be normal, pleasant and tell them you are looking for a job. Start walking at 9 and you can stop at 3.

    30 jobs at 19 isn’t to bad. Keep going. Actually never stop. You can take a couple days a week to try out manual labor. A few times I would wait for work with all the mexicans at 5 AM. Some guy in a truck would come pick us up to do odd jobs. You can also just work minimum wage and keep applying. You can also go to another country and teach english.

    You’re a man (I assume). Act like one.

    Life will throw all kinds of shit your way.

    Keep your head high and keep applying. Don’t give in to panic as that will destroy you.

        It is really cheap to get a commercial drivers license and you can even get it on a student loan and quickly get into a job where you were making minimum $50,000 a year or in my case about $150,000 a year after a couple of years experience and it’s not all that hard and you could always go back to what you originally wanted to do. I know a couple of guys that done that.
