Had the same problem as this guy. I became a plumber and loved it. Then my mentor died from fentanyl overdose. Which ended my plumbing apprenticeship. Life is not absolute. There are no yes or no answers to deep nuanced questions. First things first OP is aware enough and thats the first step. I believe in him

I'm in the same situation , same age. Less helpful parents. Can't live with them , they also didn't give me money . My mom married a doctor which fucked my financial aid up so no more free school. Couldn't commit to a loan cause when I was 21 I wasn't sure a degree is what was for me. I sold weed for money, made a lot of money and was good at it. Hired drivers and had ppl selling under me. Till one girl sent me to a setup and I got a felony for serving. Veat the case 10 grand later and got into a toxic relationship then brother robbed me of another 10 grand . Now I have like 6 k in assets and am starting new business moving to queens w a business partner. Its hard out here for ppl like you and me. Were ppl pleasers based on our upbringing ,not having the right figure and also having a personality thats derived from your environment. Kinda like clay or water. Ppl like you and me have super powers we just don't know how to tap into them. I feel like me and you would be great friends. You are aware enough to notice these things like me. Pm me homie I fuck with you

And I'm just confused by it all...

Why would this all-powerful being subject these creatures he created 'in his likeness' to such hardships and suffering? His children? Would you do that to your children?

Reward the good ones with an amazing life (afterlife) and the bad ones with eternal torture and suffering?

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And like an unnecessary 'game' of sorts with nefariously wicked consequences.

Perhaps I'm just more reasonable and loving and empathetic than this God/Jesus person. I wouldn't even subject my pets to such terrible tribulations.

If you want different results, you have to become someone different. So you gotta change dude.

You gotta gain wisdom. If you’re going to study a profession, choose a profession that can give you a stable future (one that’s not a gamble!). Do your research and find a profession where the job market is expanding!

Find people in the world that have succeeded and learn exactly how they think and how they did it! Read their books! So many people have tried, made mistakes and found the way to success! Don’t repeat their mistakes, learn from them so you can find the way to success by letting them do the work of figuring out how! Things are really simpler than we make them out to be, it just takes hard work, determination and discipline. I’m sure you are motivated to find your own success because you know how painful not succeeding is! Trust me I feel the same way!

You can do it man. You just gotta let go of whatever will keep you from achieving your goals!!

You need to get your mindset right. Become a principled man. You’re still young dude! Colonel Sanders franchised KFC at 62. Ray Kroc bought McDonald’s at 55. Susan Boyles career came into bloom at 47 when she went on britains got talent. Stan Lee didn’t write his first comic until he was 40!

What personally got my life on track. Was the tried and tested principles that people have been using to succeed and find peace and goodness in life for thousand of yearsssss! The principles from none other than The Holy Bible!! For real. God can guide you in every single detail of your life. That’s more support than any person can give. One verse that gave me peace in letting go of the past and embracing a future of success is 2 Corinthians 2:17. You don’t have to be held down by your past when God removes it from the equation for you.

Wishing you prosperity and guidance. God bless you!

DM me if you have any interest in getting into IT support work. I can’t give you a job but I can tell you what certifications would get your foot in the door. IT is not for everyone, but it is good money if that is important and with certificates you don’t necessarily need a college degree to land a job

Well, all of my advice is incredibly dated, as I'm in my mid fifties. Having said that, I'm really proud of you for even entertaining this question. I didn't read your whole post, as what got you here isn't nearly as important as where you go.

First thing.....identify your values. What fulfills you? What genuinely makes you happy? There is no recipe for success, though there are plenty of models for how other people have defined success and achieved it. Success for you may look very, very differently than what you might think it "ought" to be. Living according to your values is the best way to achieve happiness and fulfillment. If you don't know what your values are, find out as soon as you can. Your values will be like the rudder of your ship. Identify what fulfills you, recognize that it may change over time, then act in ways that close the gaps between how you are currently living and what your values are.

Actually, you know what? That's first thing and everything. Do that. Identify your values, find stuff and people that fit into your values, be happy.

Your post history also shows you’re looking for a magic pill to save your life. The problem is you. 3 years ago you made a post to want to change, it’s been 3 years, Reddit won’t do it for you. You need to do it by owning up and taking accountability! Everyone’s life is hard, no excuse for your behavior, you’re more like a child at this point.

Take some accountability into your own hands. I’m 36, high school dropout, ADHD my whole life too, worked 27 jobs (probably more than you) , fought cancer, still have terrible generalized anxiety disorder, suffer from severe GERD & LPR (digestive issues) . All this and I take accountability that I am the one who messed up. You’re never going anywhere with your mentality .
