You seem to be having a rough time...hope it starts getting better. :)
i don't really understand what is going on, but anyway good luck, man, try lottery may be?
Whatever you do, DO NOT go back to school.... Become a drug dealer, ANYTHING except going back to school.

All the kids coming out of school now, even with grad- degrees have trouble finding work.Agreed. I went back to school. Having a degree opened a few doors, but my resume was place at the bottom of the pile when they found that I was over 30. ... And in all those extra years in college, and subsequently trying to get a job that matched my degree, I made more debt than income.
Lets say YOU go back to school... what are your odds, given that you're old, less agile, and less docile than younger workers.

1. Dress nice and come prepared. Have a notebook; at least look like you want to be there and you're interested. Get a haircut (sorry, Xs), take a shower, iron your clothes. You know, common sense stuff.
2. Exude an aura of hard work. Many recent graduates don't do this. It's not that graduates can't find jobs, per se, it's that many (in my experience) don't exactly give the appearance that they want to do any work, especially those that did not have to work their way through school. It looks better on a resume if you worked at least some in college. I would rather someone bust they're ass while I train them than me having to keep after them to their job but know everything.
3. Don't be creepy. That's weird, and you have to talk to people at work, and yeah, don't be creepy.
4. Have some sort of experience or aptitude in the line of work you're applying for. I don't want a programmer applying for a marketing position; it's not generally a good fit and it's a waste of everybody's time, especially mine.
I still think drug dealer is your best option.
You make your own work hours, have time to relax, write more of your book, or a whole new one on "being a drug dealer" :cool:
... Give me a year.
book is a crime joint about a multi-addict in a tailspin, does some things out of line at his dealer's house and gets in deep dodo for it. Much blood and sex, and the real kicker is one of the addictions. It's valid and brand spankin' new. Sorry folks, now is not the time for a reveal. Give me a year.

Many people are having trouble finding jobs because they didn't research the market for their majors and graduate degrees before spending 4-6 years of their life working on them. That being said I do admit that many individuals that have fantastic degrees are having trouble finding work, but these individuals aren't the majority of job seekers out of college.
Whatever your major is you need to have a deep passion for being good at something to make money off of your talent. If you graduate with an art history degree you better have a huge passion for art and be extremely motivated to make a living off of it, if you only take it because it is easy or you don't have a clue what you want to do get a couple minors and get a major in business.
Being the best isn't about age its about having the drive to enhance the skills you are good at and improve on the skills that need work.
That being said I don't condone drug usage and living off of other people's misery is just plain evil.
All of that being said I am terribly sorry to hear about that. Buck up and think positive. There's a great saying about life: just remember, if life doesn't break you today it'll always try again tomorrow!
Best regards.
I'm not naive, but think whatever you want bud. You are entitled to your opinion just as I am mine. I understand why certain individuals feel the want/desire to use them but personally I don't like the idea of poisoning my body.

Spend time making things, learning about the world.

You think you have me figured out, you don't man, but it's alright because this is an online forum where hopefully no ones feelings are going to get hurt. But then again, the internet is serious business sometimes :))
xsphat,
I understand you wanting that, and I truly do hope things work out for you. Don't lose hope man.
You naive bastard......
Drugs is not misery, it's a way of life like everything else.
How do you think all of the billionaires of the financial hub Hong Kong got their start, cocaine.......
How do you think the Mafia of the USA got "their" start before they became the umbrella corporations of entertainment.
On top of that, countless jews who are now the premiere financiers of many countries have had their stint with narcotics.

Sorry to hear about this xsphat. I will provide two thoughts:You're alive! Long time no see!
1. When one door closes, another opens.
2. Good people always land on their feet.
Good luck!
Thanks keyboardlover, for 2 things:I blame Beast.
1. Your words
2. and breaking up the Borg maturation / masturbation deal we have going here.
Lol. I just want peace anymore.
I'm tired of all the war in this world :(

Please stop pretending to "know" what's right for society.
Whatever the market wants is right....
The market wants "less population", so, now more kids are doing drugs, they stumble and they die. Instant population control.... Drugs is part of the natural order.

I know of some people who just get absolutely ripped and then crank out a 12 hour work day at a mind-numbingly boring job that they otherwise wouldn't be motivated to do.
In either case, I can see both sides of the arguement. Drugs are as illegal as we make them.
If back in the day somebody ruled that cocaine was not illegal to use, but caffeine causes all sorts of adverse effects, would you be going on right now about the horrors of coffee? or nicotine? Would you be sipping your coca-cola the way the original recipe intended as a pick me up for your 4 o'clock hump?
I've never done any "illegal" drugs myself, but I head out to the bar every couple of weeks and every so often have one or two too many. How is that really that different?QuoteSpend time making things, learning about the world.
Another illegal substance is wormwood, a key ingredient in true absinthe. You would be amazed how many authors and artists had some of their greatest works inspired by crazy absinthe trips.
And do you like the Beatle's music? I've got some news for you. . .
In my humble (and sometimes retarded) opinion, There's a time and a place for everything. I'm not saying that the aircraft mechanics or engineers designing apartment complexes should drop acid then head off to work, i'm just saying that I know of quite a few people who had "experimental" phases in their youth, and turned out fine.
Not trying to start a flame war, I'm just saying that it's very close-minded to think "Drugs are bad mm'kay?"
EDIT: Another thought coming to mind, Salvia divinorum is still legal in many states, only a few have passed bills outlawing it. If you still don't think the drug laws are goofy in this country, do some searching on that stuff. Basically mini-acid.

A college degree shows an employer that you can see a task to completion. Experience and a demonstrated aptitude for the position is far more important, IMHO.
