I just want to wake up tomorrow and it's 1985 and I'm a Wall Street nobody in a world not infested by fucking Chinks and nobody even knows what the Fed is or gives a shit about politics

Exactly. I feel like such a GOD DAMN RETARD for EVER wasting my time with this bullshit.

Understatement.

I have an associate's in the electrical trades. Employers give 0 shits. Only unions care. Even if you get in, you'll start at like 13 an hr. I fucking make that doing a security job (well more actually. A little under 15 an hr). Even IF you can enter the industry, prepare to get your shit pushed in by rednecks, baby boomers, bootlickers, assholes in general, etc.

It's a shit job. Shit pay. Shit stability. Shit benefits outside a union. Etc.

Bottom of the barrel. I have severe depression over wasting so much fucking time.

Even in a union, you will still get treated like dirt. The money in a union is good and so are the benefits, but it isn't worth the work you put in.

Literally dogshit.

Want an industrial job? Super fast paced only now you work live and can get yourself killed/blow up machinery and get fired ASAP.

Shit is BALLS. Trade school was balls too. Filled with unclutured instructors making unfunny sex jokes 24/7.

I literally wasted my fucking youth for nothing.

Worst part? The associate's CAN'T be turned into a bachelor's degree.

In other words, you have to start right the fuck over if you want a bachelors.

I remember I had one instructor that was throwing hints over how futureless the trades are. ALWAYS telling us "do a bachelors, okay?".

Lile god damn it. Now I need a yr to finish the bachelors (will be 25). I could have had a cush easy as shit teaching job. Instead I'm doing fucking security.

ALL of this because some guy I met at a CC told me "the trades are good!".

I was inexperienced and had no idea what to do so I tried it.

God damn waste. I legit might commit suicide over this.

I make about 400 a week after tax. 32 hrs a week. I live in southern california. I live with my parents. I'm 24. I have a useless 2 yr degree in the trades (never going back to it). Need a year to finish a bachelor's (business admin econ).

Reason my life got fucked is because of hardcore mental issues I've gotten over my height being 5'5" (7 yrs and 4 months of being suicidal over it). Even went to the mental hospital a few times over suicide attempts stemming from my height issue.

I have shit credit because I've never actually used credit before. I want to invest into amazon fba, but because of my shit credit, I doubt I'll be able to get loans.
School loans are 11k. I can't touch that money cause then it's considered fraud (though I might use 2k of it. I doubt they'll go after me if I use that little). I need 23k to finish. 6k is grants and again, 11k from financial aid loans. I will have to take out 6k private loans...

My goal is to become a teacher because every other job makes me suicidal (education workers have the lowest suicide rates of all occupations). Problem is I will need 1 more yr for a teaching credential. Teaching for america only asks for the bachelors, so they might let me teach while studying for the teaching credential.. or not. I have no clue..

My only hope is using the shit amount I have right now (1600 in the bank) to start the amazon thing and try to get a decent ROI. If I can do this, I might be able to convince my mother to make the business loan for me (she has good credit. For instance, she once made this one type of loan for 10k and they didn't even make her pay interest for 2 years).

Crypto looks flaky. People throw in memes "link 1k eoy" without backing it up. Sounds like a bunch of bs.

I need limb lengthening surgeries at exactly age 25 or I'll kill myself. 4 inches. 34k usd in this one place in germany. With plane tickets and whatnot, it might be closer to 40k.

Will I get 40k by May or will I die? What does biz think?

>get into this whole economics thing
>slowly start realizing how fucked the whole system is
>now two years in, just trying to prepare and not kill myself before the greatest collapse in modern history
Surely I'm not the only one, how you holding up anons
