I have no idea what im doing with my life. Im 24 years old, im stuck in a crappy, deadend job. I only have my highschool deploma, and I dont think im smart enough to get a degree. Im freaking out right now, I dont know what to do! Even if I do go back to school, ill be close to 30 by the time I get any sort of degree. But thats not even the biggest issue. I have no idea what I wanna do, no thoughts at all. Im kicking myself for not appplying myself more in schoool, ive completely wasted the last 6 years of my life, and I have no useful skills. I always wanted something more for myself, but now im scared ill end up with some bottom of the barrel, grunt work job. Besides that whole issue, ive never had a girlfriend, and at this point, what girl would want me? I have nothing to offer any woman. Im 24 years old, making just above minimum wage, I live with my parents still, with no career in sight. Ive been struggling with my faith for a long time now, moreso recently. I dont understand why God let me get to this point. I feel like a failure in every aspect of my life, and it doesnt look like thats gunna change any time soon. Im growing increasingly depressed with everything. Im seeing all the kids I went to school with, and theyre all making things of themselves. Some have degrees, others have greats jobs, many are married, engaged, etc. I need prayer, cause as much as I hate to say it. It doesnt seem like God is listening to MY prayers.

Shawny, you can gain the whole world and lose your soul and be lost for ever and ever, but you can have salvation through Jesus Christ and very shortly you will be walking the streets of Gold. Seek the Kindom of The Lord first. He knows what you need and he will supply you with all that you need. Right there where you are is where he wants you to turn it all over to him and then he'll make a new man out of you. I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus, God bless
 
Ask God for wisdom, and like Woodl said; seek the Kindom of God First...

James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Matt 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Pray! Pray and ask God to point you in the direction He wants you to go. Ask Him to use you.
I'll being praying for you!
 
Now is the perfect time to ask God want he wants from you. Hes not going to lead you down a road you hate or wont be happy down. Ask him to put and lead the desires of your heart down the path God has designed for you!!! :)

I am 27, and at the last year of my bachelor degree. Three years ago however, I had done the following:

1 year of Hotel and food science studies (High school) .- Quit
3 years of a subvariety of social studies to work with children / youths. Finished, but never continued with it
1 1/2 year to be a nurse. Failed practice... yup... failed it. - Quit

the only proper job I've was has an assistant in a kindergarten for 4 months

Don't give up! It takes time to find out what you want to do!
I will pray that you get the chance to do something where you can use your abilities, so that you feel appreciated :)

 
This might sound strange but you honestly have to start with positive affirmations each day. You have to reprogram your mind. So start saying...I like myself.... over and over each day okay. Forget about a degree. Its completely useless in this day and age. Watch the doc....College Scam....on youtube if you dont believe me ok. If you wanna get ahead in life read the book Cash Flow Quadrant and also The 4 Hour Work week okay. Then start a small business. A real business. Almost anything, as long as its a real business. Not some get rich quick scheme or a MLM company. So buy some painting supplies for cheap, even at the dollar store if you have to. Then put an ad in the paper saying you do painting. Do try anything too difficult at first. maybe start with a fence job and work your way up. Or you could do anything like Carpet cleaning, buy a small ninja unit, its called a Ninja. Then put an ad on Craigslist or Kijiji offering your carpet cleaning services. Same could be done for landscaping, deliveries, or any other business you can think of. Or combination of these types of businesses. So next thing youll quickly find is that youre making some real money. Learning responsibility. Learning independence. And youll be too busy for all that stinkin thinkin. Again focus on affirmations. Read positive books like Think and Grow Rich, Anthony Robbins or whoever. It might be hard at first, but by keeping busy and not thinking so much about whats not working then things will start to turn around for you okay. And with girls, start putting your ad on POF, and other popular dating sites. When you meet a girl dont act all ga ga goo goo. Never show your hand. Its like paying cards. Dont reavela what you got. so dont tell her you like her, not ever, until she first tells you that she likes you, or shows you some interest. That way you wont get shot down. Also just think of it as a fun thing like your meeting new friends. And if somethign more happens later then great. But dont ever act like your in a rush or women will run. Just act friendly the way you do with your friends. Anyway, Ill pray, dear lord please help this person to not complain, to be grateful, to be thankful their not in wheelchair, or starving in africa. Help them to understand how blessed they really are right now. And help them to find their career path. And to find a girlfriend Amen.
