I learned to be a cobbler in my 30s it’s never too late man. Just because school doesn’t work for some doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for all. Same in my situation school didn’t work for me, so i learned the family trade and love it. You can depending on where you’re at get free training and get paid at the same time with your local cobbler. If you need help drumming up more business with him lmk I’ll be glad to help ! I now specialize in just boots cause i loved working on them so i honed in my skills and made a career out of just one of those many items we work with everyday. I have physical and mental disabilities. It took awhile and will always be something i have to work on.

Hey man, why not go join the military? The army, navy, and Airforce have age limits that are between 35-39. They can provide you structure and discipline, which is something you seem to really need even at this point in your life. Go learn a cool trade, get hands on with your work, travel, and go to college for free when you get out.

But the fundamental problem is that you're an adult who is refusing to take ownership and accountability of his mistakes. You fucked up, a lot bro, but it's okay because they're lessons learned, or at least they should be. Acknowledge it, accept it, now pick up your trash and keep trudging up that hill because that's what life is all about.

Agreed! While there are many factors, I think the biggest one is the way many educational systems stifle creativity. Nobody wants to sit still in a desk for 8 hours a day. The teachers don't.....let the kids move their bodies. That IS part of it. So when the get controlled to sit still and shut up.......that dulls them into this state.
