Hey everybody, I have been a lurker for awhile, and decided to make a throwaway for some personal advice. I am turning 19 soon and I feel very trapped and unhappy with my current situation. I still live at home with family, and have no dependents of any sort.
I took a gap year after high school, to try and find something I was passionate about, but ended up feeling nothing but stuck and confused. I do not have a job, and only have a HS degree, with no college credits. I am basically only a HS grad with 0 savings and no job.
I would love to eventually move to another state, and if possible, the U.K. I may have some family ties that can get me citizenship there, but I am not counting on it yet.
I was wondering the best approach to move to another state or country. Should I work full time, save up for a cheap community college, and then go to school? Should I work part time and go to a University? Should I join the military for 4 years and hope for the best?
I really have no clue what to do, but I know that I do not want to stay here. We have very little money on a day to day basis, to the point that eating 3 full or healthy meals everyday can be difficult sometimes. I do not have any relatives other than the ones I am living with, so there are no connections I have outside of Texas. Also, my GPA from high school is on the low side, but I made alright SAT scores, and took some AP classes.
I hope someone can help. I really don't know what to do. Hopefully this isn't a waste of time, and I am sorry if this is posted frequently, or a waste of all of your times as well. If it is, please just leave this post and downvote. No need for hurtful comments please.
