Join the military. If you want to be in Japan, the Marines is probably your best bet, you can hope to be stationed in Okinawa. From what you've said, you clearly lack a complete sense of autonomy, direction, discipline and purpose in your life, and you don't strike me as the type who will take the initiative to find it for yourself. The military is a great opportunity for people like yourself to learn a trade, have a sense of accomplishment and perhaps gain some discipline and direction in your life. And when you're done with your enlistment, if you so choose not to reenlist, you can always score a GI bill and go to school to boot.

You could also get a job and work your way up. Lot of companys now a days would rather train a person themselves then higher a kid fresh out of school. I went to a CC for half a semester and realized that i hated school and didnt want to go, cost me $800 to figure that one out. so i got in with this Sprint and started working Tech Support for in one of their local centers. i made Manager in a year. Now im working for OM, or anyother upper manager position. and its not luck that i found this job either, you should see some of the trash that we higher and fire ever day. Its not that we just fire people either, you really have to try to get fired here and its so easy to make something of yourself here and the pay isnt horrible. i make about 28,000 and i just started being a manager. Plus, and this is something you must think about, if your not going to school you have to get insurance and a lot of places like this give out great benefits.
You dont have to go to school to get a good job anymore but you do have to look around to find them. But i dont want to bash school either. it makes life way easy depending on what your wanting to do with your life. But if you want another way to go about it, its working for me. |
