I'm about to turn 21 in a couple months and have no job (for about a year), no money, no car. I live at home with my parents who constantly bug me to get a job. The problem is I'm not the school type of person, I barely graduated high school. I've had a couple different jobs in the last couple years. I can't keep any though. The problem is I don't like to take orders from people, especially when the pay is low and hate waking up early in the morning.

I realize if I want to get a good job, I'm going to have to either go to college or get really lucky and find a good job and be working at the same place for a long time. Another problem is I can't force myself everyday to do something that I hate. The only thing I can really see me doing in the future is owning a business, but honestly, I don't see that being a reality.

The only people who push me to try and get a job is my parents. They tell me to either go to college or get a job. My friends really don't push me because very few of them went to college and are working dead end jobs or not making a honest living (take it as you want).

I want to get out of this hole that I dug myself into but I don't know how to. I won't go to college and I refuse to work a low paying job that I HATE. Please someone get through my thick skull, I don't want to be 30 and still be in the same situation, and that will come true if I don't get a good job soon. It's tough out here in NY everything is so damn expensive.

HELP, I just want to be successful in life and make my parents proud, I hate seeing my mom stressed out over me.
