Hey anons, my goals rn are a professional job (70k) and an ok house where I can house my cats and stray cats
I was wondering how someone like me can bridge the gap and become a professional with decent income ASAP. I think the answer will be "college" but I am doing WGU instead of a brick and morter institution, and missing some of the legitimacy as a result. And missing networking, and connections, but at 25 y/o I feel like the online colelge can get me the slight increase in prestige faster since I can do the classes at my own pace. But without the networking and support from counselors in getting into the job market, I am WORRIED.
my mother had me swatted (she has BPD) and so I have an arrest on my record... Police actually busted into my house and pointed guns at me. And I am a highschool dropout (that's why the WGU degree -- or the prestige of any degree -- is so urgent rn bc I am tired of struggling to get any job) and I am white but I had a nasty upbringing (could be called "white trash") which mentioning my mother swatting me kinda points to. ther's no "network" of people with connection, dad is estranged he hit me and molested my little sister which I kept quiet about. While I was silent he spread rumors about me to family I guess to get ahead of any accusations I could have made against him.
I am an honorable, upstanding person, I care about others, the problem is people don't know that when they look up my name or hear things from family. I am confused about how someone like me is supposed to escape my situation, when it's extremely difficult to get a job or have any money now. Any advice welcome.
