Need help to get my life in order. Feeling depressed and suicidal at the moment due to my poor financial planning. Wasted 6 years of my life doing nothing. Should've planned properly and went to college to get some sort of diploma or something and now I can't find a proper job and no one wants to hirer me.
Okay so how did I end up wasting 6 years of my life? I didn't, I was poor so I went to look for a job, the pay wasn't high but the job wasn't stressful either. However, it didn't earn me much to go to a college either, but enough to feed me and pay my bills. The place I live in is a very small town so we don't have much to spend either so I saved up, still not alot.
Then, my brother recently came back from his job at Singapore and asked if I would like to join him when he goes back. I said yes and so off we went. This is where I started to get depressed and grim about my future. No matter how hard I work, I won't be able to buy a house or some sort of retirement living in the future. The jobs I usually get are retail and my brother is a service/kitchen worker. So no matter how much we combine them, we still won't able to be well off.
At this point, I decided to get serious about getting a diploma, once I work a few months and then maybe go back to Malaysia for studies. I was always interested in graphic designing, but seeing the job rates here at Singapore and the pay aren't that high, left me quite hollow. Now I don't even know which career and diploma to pursue...
Edit: Grammatical error. Sorry if there are still grammatically incorrect word/sentences even after editting.
