In fayetteville Georgia.
That's close to Atlanta. You should try applying for a job at the Coca-Cola bottling plant. They're unionized and get great pay. With your experience in the blue-collar working field you'd have a chance. That can do more than enough for you to afford food and a cheap apartment. Then take night classes at one of Atlanta's post-secondary educational institutions.
hmm thats an idea. what do you think they would have me do at the cocacola bottling plant?
Lots of things. Maybe using a forklift to move supplies in a loading dock or loading trucks filled with coca-cola for dispatch, or manning assembly lines. Cool stuff, cushy and never boring. People who do that kind of work in my experience are generally cool people and awesome to hang out with.

Quit smoking weed, it was your choice.....and since you feel inclined to complain about how things turned out, how about you stop? your not the only one in this boat, I am too except im going to college and hopefully in a year or 2, ill get to transfer to hsu to finish my degree.
Just put some effort into life. We are at an age where we need to decide where we are going. Sure there is some work involved, but at least a "goal" should lift some depression.
Now get off your lazy stoner ass and do something constructive and beneficial. Build some confidence and stop complaining

Ya,I've literally been farting about doing nothing for over a year. There was a short stint in college that didn't work for me. I'm absolutely clueless about what I want to do with my life. To tell the truth,it worried me more around a year ago. I'm just indifferent to it now. I could take it or leave it.
But are your parents ok with it? Or are they pissed?

Its been said by many others in this thread but i doubt you listened, Eat healthy food(like fruits and vegetables), get some excersice and stop self loathing. You make your own fuckin reality buddy, your life sucks so much because you choose to make it that way. What i would personally do if i were you is save up around 5k-10k, move to cali and grow weed for a living. Its easy, fun and you can make a boat load of cash, did i mention everyone in cali wants to be your friend if u have the dank? lol

Or the field you are going into has about 50 brown nosers that want a promotion soo bad they work extra hours for free just to have the chance at moving up out of the shit and then you find your destined to be employee 1176 and will be stuck in cubicle 98 for the next 10 years working under supervisor 17 that has a chip on his shoulder and thinks your parents paid for schooling and you still need to learn something about life.
Or a room full of disgruntels fellow employees that are soo streesed and straped by student loans they get thier kicks from practical jokes such as getting you in trouble for minor things.
I can think of about 100 more scenarios that you will not know untill you actually do that job for real.
I am shure the real life things that happen are much worse... and more vast.
That or you find out the work place in your field is soo full of stressed out freaks ,you are shure one will mow down the entire office at any minute or piss in the coffee.
You might find its a dream job and would rather do nothing else.........I am just saying many many people thought many jobs would be great untill actually doing them.
But my main point was to the OP ,dont get hung up on figuring out the rest of your life...its never going to go according to plans..........millions of people just goto work and end up doing those jobs...........its rare you find anyone completely happy with any job.......but you have to work in order to get money and do what you want so most endure or even make believe they like it in order to cope.
If your not in school ,just go do any job ,it may be fun or you might quit 30 different jobs before you find something you like.......most jobs people like are the ones they are good at ,not what they envisioned as what they would like.
That's what I'm afraid of.
I always play out the worst case scenario in my head and making any desision becomes a miserable process for me.
I can't see myself enjoying any job for the rest of my life. I can see myself deciding something only to be stuck with working a shit job the rest of my life and I can't live with that.
And I don't know what you mean about trying out 30 different jobs before going to school. Practically the only jobs availible without prior experience or schooling is fast food and a bunch of other shitty jobs.
So their is no way to know and it seems like everyone has to just guess what they want to do. I don't want to sentence myself to working a shit job the rest of my life and that is why I am having such a hard time making any desicions.
I know I just want to do something creative. But their aren't very many creative jobs in this world. And almost all of them have unstable work.

Most artists have a real job on top of being artists, and only a few of them are lucky enough to eventually be able to live off of their art.
You should enjoy being creative for the sake of being creative, and not just for money. If I were you, I'd be happy that I have a stable decent-paying job.

I know this sounds like crazy talk but stop smoking the weed. It can't be all you have to look forward to and it's not going to help your motivation. Like someone else said, you need to stop thinking and wallowing in self-pity. I understand how you feel, when I was 16 all the way to about 18 I wanted to just fall off the face of the earth. Days blended together, I'd stay up all night and get up at like 4 if I was feeling especially unmotivated. I didn't have any real friends, I abused the shit out of DXM. It was terrible. I got too caught up in over thinking things, I made things more complicated then they really were and it didn't help one bit. I'm better now but only because I've found things I look forward to and I have a decent group of friends and somewhere I found the motivation to move on. The fact that smoking is the only thing you look forward to is not a healthy relationship with pot. Quit it, do some soul searching and act! Stop over analyzing everything because it's only hold you back in the long run. Trying to better yourself is the hardest thing someone can do when they feel like they don't have the motivation to do it, but once you get over that hump the benefit of doing so will become immediately clear.

well I was working the construction job and doing the same thing I'm doing now and was just as miserable if not more so before I found a source for weed. And ya I was'nt doing anything then eaither. All I did was work and come home and use the computer. So the only difference now is I work come home use the computer and occasiounally smoke pot.
It seems like everyone on the shroomery looks down on weed. I haven't really had a problem with it. Sure I'm unmotivated and lazy but I have always been that way and weed hasn't made it any worse. And I only smoke at night after the day is already over.
That's just like taking away the only thing that excites me. Plus when I'm high I like to draw where if I was sober I would just waist time on the computer.

Bartending might be something worth looking at when you turn 21. If you enjoy alcohol at all, it can be a pretty decent gig. Making drinks can be a fun experience, and it's a great way to meet people...everyone wants to be friends with a decent bartender lol. It doesn't take much experience at all to get a foot in the door. After your next birthday, go to the bars in your vicinity and ask if they need any barbacks. With any luck, one of them will and when you start, they teach you on the job and you continue to learn things as you go along. I recommend bars near college campuses so you'd be around people closer to your age. This should make it a lot easier to make new friends. Plus you get to flirt with random drunk chicks

Heh, that sounds like me when I was 15 - 19. All I did was smoke weed, and play video games, and use the computer. Would play star wars galaxies all day long 12 hours a day sometimes.

TRAVEL. Save some money and go traveling the world for half a year or so. It will help you find yourself.
It is what I did when I didn't know where to go and I think it had a very good influence on my life. If I hadn't traveled for almost a year I wouldn't be where I am now. Literally and figuratively speaking.

I'm not against pot, I quite enjoy it myself but it shouldn't be the only thing you want to do. That's not healthy, you need things other then drugs to occupy your time. I'd try exercising, it's really rewarding and if you keep it up you will feel better about yourself.
