I have really not been successful at keeping any job that I had up to this point, and I enrolled in college but didn't and still don't know what I should do after I get my Associate of Science which really isn't in anything major, it's a undergraduate degree. But at least it's still a diploma, and I want to further my education at a University this fall but still don't know what I really want. I also got a job offer for two places that I really don't want to work at. One a beauty warehouse another furniture place. So my question is what on earth should I do from this point. I had a few options here. Work both of these low end jobs till something better appears after I graduate and continue to work and go to school. Or move to New York and become a bartender and make money while living the city dream life, cause I love clubbing, cities, and high end fashion. But where I live now is a small town with rubbish people who are in either two groups: settled and married has kids, or older generations like retired people in this area. Any advice would help thanks. By the way I am a female who is not that bad looking many have told me to become a model but I refuse cause I don't want that lifestyle. I also have no one I am in a serious relationship with at the moment. I am basically useless at this point. And I don't want kids or to get married. I am not ready or really wanting to be a wife to anybody. I think you don't need someone to make you happy and that happiness comes from within. Also I don't like being pressure by society to live my life that is "normal" or "acceptable", and "natural" have a different approach to things and very vivid and intense perspective on life I just don't know what I want as far as career, place, journey, and etc.

    Nothing wrong with that. Times are hard these days. I just found out my friend got evicted so I said she can live with me. But the thing is she's a police officer and she's still struggling so that's how u know 4 sure that days are hard.

    Sometimes, multiple generations of family live in the same home, and they constantly do that as tradition. Not so much in America however if I assume that is where you are from.

    If you can pay, that is definitely the thing to do because your parents get closer and closer to retirement unless they already are. Socially it isn't looked up to but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

    I'd say it's not ok. If I were you I would struggle and work as hard as possible to become independent. But I guess that's up to everybody.

    There is nothing wrong in living with your parents, but, what is wrong that you don't work. I am working and living with my parents, it is really comfortable. The only thing that you need to do is getting a job. Btw, moving to NY might allow you to get more money; but you will spend more also! so, think about it.
