I have no job and no cash to make it worse I have no gas in my car !!!! and to make all that worse rent is coming up !!!! I left school my junior year. Everytime I went to go get my GED I ended up getting to high and didn't go! Should I get my GED try for a fafsa loan and go to a trade school or community college? or just continue looking for a job someplace? I have worked at all the fast food places and got fired from each one! The steel mill I worked at fired me for lighting c4 off ( got from a trucker ), every other place either laid me off or fired me or I quit becuase I thought I had enough money to be a drug dealer kingpin. Turns out I never had enough money to do that. I'm not a bad guy I just need advice, do I continue down this road with no jobs and nothing praying for a break ( odds are it won't happen ) or actually go get my GED this time and go back to school and get some kind of degree? Please no BS answers, need some good solid advice.

high from weed - but still I have taken an ASVAB and scored a 79% meaning I could probably go into any branch of the military and do anything I wanted to as long as they let me in with a GED. College would be a good choice but what do I do for income in the mean time if I got a student loan would I be able to use any of it to spend on apartment rent bills gas? I could go to Canada and go to school there I think you only need to complete up to grade 9 in th US to go to a college in Canada BUT if I did this could I still get a loan? & would I be able to get a student visa with a police record of stupidness nothing major. The temp agencies all do drug tests and i'm not quiting smokin weed to work. That is just stupid weed helps me sleep. Could I get disability maybe? I was shot in the face. Any ideas on how to obtain some kind of finacial freedoms IE gas,food,rent,bills

It sounds like you have made some awful decisions in your life but it also sounds like you are young enough to turn it around. Here's a step by step;
Immediately swear off any drugs, idiotic behavior and criminal activity.
Sell your car and move to a city with good public transportation and public housing. Move into public housing and take the subway to work (or bus).
Immediately get any job you can get and don't act like an idiot when you get there. Appreciate that someone is giving you another chance.
Immediately apply for a GED program and complete the GED while you are working.
Once GED is obtained apply trade school. Qualified trades people can make a lot of money.
When you are almost finished trade school begin looking for a quality placement. You will be seeking a much better job than the one you are in.
Once that job is obtained, save as much money as possible--do not buy a car--continue to take mass transp, get some money in the bank and establish a track record at your job.
As soon as possible move out of public housing and into a decent apartment.
You will be on your way.

You need to slow up off the weed and go back to school. The money you are making or not making is what you can expect 5- 10 years from now. Your extra cirricular activity will have to take a back seat while you focus. I am not one to preach, however, i only part take in such activities when the work is done, and it should not get involved where you are not taking care of business. You need to get some things off the ground, make some things happen for yourself and lay off the weed til you have something to celebrate. Like a plan, enrollment in school. I would not try to be a big time drug dealer. You don't have the skills for it. Getting fired and bring so much attention to oneself is not a character trait of a drug dealer. Lay up off the weed and go back to school. where you are right now is where you will be if you do not make some changes. Think about it and good luck

you need to seriously commit to something. It sounds like you're finally realizing how much you threw away, which is step one. the next step is to crack down and commit to it, no matter how tough it gets
get off the drugs, that should be a no-brainer. they havent gotten you anywhere, and you dont need them, where as you do need money to get someplace in life that doesnt suck
i would suggest going to GED route and then going to a community college. When employers see that you dedicated yourself to a few years in college, they will take you more seriously. It shows that you have really turned over a new leaf and are willing to go the distance.
its tough changing your life. its not going to be easy. set day to day goals for yourself, and dont let your past get you down. you've got a bad record, and ppl are going to remind you of that. and you'll find that its easier just to go back to those past habits then making something out of yourself, but stick to it. you can do it, and you deserve a better future, if you're willing to get it.
like i said, start with small goals. 'ill go to all my classes today' 'ill get my homework turned in on time' etc. small steps.
you can do it, good luck!

You need a mentor to supervise every (and I mean EVERY) facet of your life, from getting you motivated to do ANYTHING to coaching you properly and making sure that your complete tasks and achieve something in your life.
