I know I won't be able to find one, though. And it's not like I can go to college since I'm dirt fucking poor.

I will tell you one thing though. Money is no barrier for college. If you can get into one, any one, and you are poor, get loans. "But I'll be in debt!" I hear you say! Dumbass, with your degree, you'll be able to get a much better job than without one. Your education will pay for itself. Once you have a job, making those loan payments is nothing. Especially if you are used to having nothing, being a NEET.

The only way to move up in this world is with education. If you have to take loans and financial aid to pay for college, and can't pay anything up front, who cares. It will pay off. If you don't do it, you'll be stuck at the bottom of the food chain for the rest of your life, never able to work at any places better than a gas station, a fast food joint, or Walmart, where you'll get stepped on daily by your boss, and where Walmart will force you to work under hours so they don't have to offer you health care.

Get an education. Claw and work your way up out of the mud and make something of yourself. You have so many opportunities in these western countries that billions of people across the world would kill for. Use them. Don't sit on your ass and cry about how "crappy" your life is. Change it.

To add on to that, allow me to add, that it is useless to go to college if you don't want to work hard and get good grades. It is also useless if you pick a retarded major, like the arts. That's fine for a minor, but major in something that will get you a job. And study. You don't have to study all day, but make sure you go to class every day, and do all of your assignments. Even by simply doing that, you'll get decent grades. You'll still have time to do the things you like.

That's true. Though, I was referring mostly to the guy saying that he can't go to college because of the money. That's just an excuse. If you want to go to college, nothing can stop you. If you can get in to a college, they will find a way for you to afford it. They'll help you get the loans you need, they'll give you the scholarships you need. You just have to fight for it, and do all the paperwork. And you have to work hard to keep up your grades so that you don't lose your scholarships. Which isn't as hard as it sounds.

people don't give skilled laborers enough credit. This is real challenging stuff and they get treated like lower class members of society. I mean, it's not brain surgery but it's certainly more deserving of praise than being a psychiatrist. It also costs less to learn. Granted you don't make as much cash but it's still a fulfilling job.

Just to clarify I'm talking about shit like mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and stuff like that. Not cleaning crews or other jobs Mexicans do.

No, I was a NEET. Now I'm about to graduate from college. I got fed up with it. I wanted to change my life, so I did it. None of those things are really that hard.

The fight for financing is this simple: Go to the office at your college and fill out the paperwork. They'll do the real work for you. Ask the advisor for different scholarship and loan options.

Fight to get grades: Wake up, go to class. I don't take notes, I don't study, and I get As and Bs, just because I do all the assignments, and I listen in class. And I don't go to an easy college either, UNC Chapel Hill isn't cake.

The fight to get my foot in the door is simple: My degree does it for me. All I have to do is apply for a job. I have an economics degree coming, with a Public Policy minor, so I can pick from just about any job, from government to business, to the CIA. There is no job or company that an economics major can't look at for a job. And the market isn't flooded with people, like it is for some other majors.

And yes. You gotta claw your way up out of the mud. Because that's what I was living in before.

The thread has a bunch of people in it who are lamenting their situation. They want to look for jobs, but they don't know where to start. They want to change, but don't know where to start. I'm not telling you how YOU should do it. I'm just telling you how I did it. And it works great. College was fun, and sure I'm in debt, but that will be gone soon. It's just another payment like your car or your rent for your appartment, the difference being, I'll have a job this time.

And yeah, it's called skilled trades. Another great way to get out of stagnation if you are a NEET. If you don't want to go to school, look for something like that. If you like those kinds of hands on jobs where you are working with tools and the like, it's awesome, and a steady job. People will always need their cars fixed, no matter how bad the economy gets.

High school GPA doesn't matter that much. Were you in some clubs in high school, I hope? If not then you're still not totally lost. Just take the SAT over and over again until you get an awesome score on that. You'll be able to get into a mediocre state university with just a decent SAT.

>> No.5517742

>>5517722
There are ways. First, you can get into some of the lower tier state colleges. Apply to a bunch of them. Once you get into one of those, if you can, work hard, get great grades. And then, after a while, if your grades are good, you can transfer to a better school in your state no prob. It's a lot of paperwork, and may be a lot of hassle, but you can move up. Here's the secret to colleges: It doesn't matter where you start, it only matters where you get the degree. If you start in a low tier, but can get into a decent school by transferring halfway through, and get your degree from there, it will look impressive.

Despite its reputation, community college is not as bad as it sounds. Its classes are pretty low quality and its instructors tend to either just lecture for the entire class or be stupider than their students, but if you do well in a community college, you can transfer almost anywhere aside from Yale and such obviously.

And lately a lot more Hikkis are actually going to these places so you may actually make a friend.

You should find out. If it's decent (and by decent I mean average for the country), you can get into your state's low tier colleges no problem. I'd probably study for it and then take it again just to get a better score to improve your chances. Get into one of these colleges, and if that's enough for you, stay there and do good. If you want to set your sights even higher, then you can work hard, get good grades, and transfer to a better school.

In the town I live in, there is a local college that is part of the UNC system, but it's got to be one of the worst. As a result, they'll take just about anybody. But they are still a college, and a degree can help you a lot.

I got about 90% of the way though uni and decided to take a little hiatus for the past year, and take some courses at community college instead. Community college is fucking awesome, unlike uni it is just straight to the point, the things you actually want to learn, teachers who just want to make sure you know what matters and don't care about superfluous bullshit. It's so refreshing compared to uni. Community College really is where it's at, better, more meaningful education and it costs a fraction of what you pay at a university.
