I need help. Hello, I need some help with my life.
I am a 23 years old male and went to college(dad funded) and got kicked out after 2 years due to bad grades. I have always being over-protected by my parents and don't know what to do now. My mentor at school adviced before I left to find a job with my current skills. However my father is willing to fund my studies(again). That's great, except he encourages me to study the things he considers good(i.e. engineering) and discourages me from the things I want to try(bachellor in arts, because I want to try as many new things as possible) and from getting a part time job.
He says life is hard without a "good" degree. He says it's his way, or my way. And I follow him.... even though it's not what I want.
I want to leave and take care of myself but I feel helpless and lacking the necessary skills.
I know I sound like a total wuss, but that's what I think I am right now, so I am asking for help.
Any analysis of my personality? Advice on what I can do? Books to read? Activities to do? Beliefs to follow? Someone to hear? Anything? I know I must do SOMETHING. |
