Hi, I'm nineteen and I attend college at the moment. I got a job this whole winter brake. My work starts at 3:00pm and end 7:00Am. I do this 5 days a week. How do people survive this?
We survive bcuz we know we need the money to continue to do so. At least you don't have a kid in the mix. So count yourself lucky.
How about this: when you join the military and you enroll yourself into college and do your full term while doing college, then you can have a story to tell of how you survived. Til then, get a better job with better pay and you'll be fine.
