>>24274310I saw a rough branching path.
Path 1: talk to your dad. He has friends who can lead to you getting an entry level position. You won't like it much, but this will let you meet others who expose you to better options. I got the impression it's all blue-collar work. Stuff you do with your hands.
Path 2: You get a job working with the public. I saw a coffee house as important, possibly the workplace. Talk with customers and co-workers. During one of these conversations something said sparks a curiosity. You use what you learned to find better work elsewhere, but it was kinda vague the kind.
>>24274305They hardly know you exist. Talk to them and spend time together before they're taken.
>>24274314>>24274328>>24274188Ask them, silly.
>>24274330It's easy to get into a rut. This age likes to let us define our own personal bubbles and trap us in them. Focus on experiences had in person and get off the internet/phone as much as possible. If others won't put down their pone to talk to you, it's a sign they aren't worth your time.
Make friends of all ages. Yes, old people who look lonely often ARE and would love for you to just come up and say hello. It's OK to disagree with someone's point of view and it's OK to reconsider your own.
When in doubt, trade school is better than college. Making work connections is better than making people like you. And remember: you must live with yourself in the morning so only do what you can live with.
>>24274315Thanks for the heads up. This matches some of the things I was suspecting and it's good to hear feedback from another source.
