Right now we are all struggling. Whether it's money, relationships, or just life's every day endeavors. For me I am struggling finding work.
Let's talk about the reality of going to school. I have been out of high school for a few years now and have yet to go back to college. Why? Well being an adult who lives on my own and doesn't have much contact with my parents. I still need their information to apply for fafsa to get government grants and student aid. HOWEVER, since I need their information and can't get it I am not allowed to go to school! I have always had a dream to teach English abroad. But with my income alone and all my bills due, I barely have enough money to eat let alone afford a college education. What a bunch of bull.
The reason why I have mentioned these problems are because every "Entry" level position I have applied for have never mentioned needing a degree. But when contacted they want you to have at least a two year degree in administration, business, or general education. Mind you I am applying for jobs that pay less than $10.00 an hour.
The poor will stay poor until someone helps them, or by pure luck. Because of my parents I cannot receive and education until I am either married with children or over the age of 25. This is ridiculous. Okay rant over.
On a side note, my mental state of self love and having confidence in myself is rising. Everyday I feel a little better about my health and mental well being. (These money problems aren't helping but oh well)
