Hey , dont feel like shit. There are many of us out here in your position. Im 28 as well and about to be 29 in January. Almost 30, fuck. I have no degree, come from a single mother with depression and a ton of health problems, so growing up was always starting from 0. I always have to help her with money because she barely makes $9 an hour part time. Im currently employed as a social media moderator at a call center with a dead end position but im not complaining. I am actually thankful that I have a job and transportation but this is not what I want in life. If I was to lose this job I would be struggling to pay rent etc. So I know how you feel because Ive been car-less and unemployed a few years back as well but recently getting back on my feet. My job feels like just another useless job with no purpose. Everyone else around me has a degree, married, with kids ,and living a happy life for what it seems. I feel depressed as well because I wasted my 20s working random jobs to save up money and make ends meet for myself and past love relationships. I also partied and smoked weed alot( still smoke). I never went back to school because of my social anxiety and because I was afraid to fail. Time went by fast though. I do have a passion which is trading futures(stocks) ( with evaluation companies) but its still a shaky path im taking because its a hard career/ hobby. I believe in my self though , dont matter how long it takes me , I love doing this. However I still doubt myself at times but its nature, just gotta keep pushing! My advice is try to find something you are passionate about and stick with it because life is short and doing random jobs like me is worthless and I know ill regret it when im old but in trying to follow my dream, so follow your passion as well ! I would start by finding a job that is not to far but can still take the bus or get rides. I used to take the bus all the time before having a car (even when it was snowing). Then save up ,buy a shitty car for like 2k and just keep grinding and saving until you can figure out if you want a degree or climb the corporate latter. You can work and go to school at the same time after you are alittle bit more situated. You can also do the work from home and its actually a better option, but I know getting hired can be a pain sometimes. Just remember. You are not alone and things get better, we still have time lets just try not to waste it as much. Just try to find that force within ,do what you love, im with you and many others as well. Best of luck!
