I need help, or direction? IDK.

[ADK]

Some of you know I'm chasing this wrestling dream but there will be a day when falling down ain't gonna feel too good. I'm currently 20 years old and I want to get into something that makes me money... but I don't know what . I was horrible in High School but I believe if I study something I'm legitimately interested in, I'd thrive.

Things I'm interested in
- Graphic design
- Building websites

When it comes to graphic design, I don't know if I give a fukk enough to pursue it professionally. Building sites, I just have a lot of concepts I wanna get out but I have no clue if this will lead to money (doesn't have to be my site ideas.)

I always look through that IT thread and see how y'all are making money but I don't know what the fukk I'm reading in that thread, it's mad long

I know about going for A+ first or something like that but I see yall say go for more than that, there's like 500 IT things and I don't got the money for all them classes

idk yo, shyts confusing. Parents didn't go to College (I guess my mom did). Father was in the Army, mom got a degree but idk, fukkery, I don't ask. Girlfriend always pressuring me into getting my education but I don't know what to do.

See if you can get a trade at a local community college with an apprenticeship as part of the program or loo Into Truck Driving

You have to let it just come to yu. I was the same way at your age a slacker in high school. I took the community college rout made good enough grades to transfer to a university. In time as I grew I realized I wanted to be in finance because I love money. My best advice to yu is while ur waiting for it to come to yu save as much as yu can.

I'm not sure what direction you wanna go.

I was studying for my A+ and it wasnt hard, just memorization but is that what you wanna do? It wont really help you with graphic design tho.

consider trying this:
One way to find your career/educational path (Holland Codes)

also, some of the things on your list can be hard (or impossible) to support yourself with..
so consider doing a candid self-evaluation of "why" you want to do those things
"exactly why do i want to be a pro wrestler??"
so even if being a wrestler doesn't work out..
your "why" reasons can still be ported over into parallel occupations that offer better prospects for money/ longevity

do you ever feel that certain life paths are completely blocked for you?

I dropped out of school at 16 because I was always in isolation room where you had to sit in silence all day. I had to be escorted to my exams by senior staff and took exams in a room with the other so called troublemakers. I tried to get into what Americans would call community college where they take anyone pretty much. I went 3 years In a row and was denied entry every time.

The education system want nothing to do to me. I'm 22 now and have fukked up criminal charges to the point where even minimum wage warehouse and factory jobs that hire immigrants that can't speak English won't hire me.

It's gotten to the point where I'm back living in my.mums house. The government won't even give me unemployment benefits to live off. I'm legally entitled to benefits from the government but every time I go into the gov office they flat out refused to sign me off for benefits. Despite meeting all the requirements and they legally have to give me benefits when it comes down to sitting down 1 on 1 with one of these people they tell me to my face I'm not getting anything. Legally they aren't allowed to reject me because of their own personal prejudices when I meet all the requirements for unemployment benefits.

It's like no matter how hard I try and follow the rules and enter society I'm blocked.

It's wild
