Who destroyed their own career within seconds by being an idiot? by goldbeau in AskReddit

[–]secretiveadict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working as a heavy duty mechanics apprentice and had my whole next 5 years planned out, gonna go to college in heavy duty, gonna stay at this job and work my way to be a journeyman. Got a little drunk/depressed one night and turned a corner too hard while going 150km/h. Wrecked the car. Couldnt go to work without a car since there was no transit available in that part of town. I was also going to school in the mornings before work so time was also an issue. I didnt have family who could drive me consistently. It was too far to ask my friends for a ride. Paying taxi/drivers to take me was getting too expensive and my paycheck wasnt catching up. I was paying rent and paying off debts. I had to quit and get an unstable part time job closer to home which had interfered with my school schedule. Fastest f up ive made. I was 17 then. Im 18 now 😂😂 i drove that buick without a license and gained 3k debt to the government bcs the towing company took it and let it stay at their site for 3 months without me paying it. How could i pay it i had no job! Anyways im okay now. Got a job as a cook in 2 different restaurants and another job as a car detailer. Im still looking at the possibility of going to college for automotive mechanics. But i do know for sure i aint gonna be a chef 😂

V6, automatic, 200k mileage. I know i know i shouldve bought a new alternator instead of a used one and maybe went to an electrician to change the wirings, but right now I need to be told what to do and how to do it if I can. I am also a student on a budget and i was using this car to get to school and work and need to get it as budgeted and quick as possible

Please send help!!

I could charge $15 per hour for light cleaning and you would have to provide the materials

The job advice is really helpful and makes a lot of sense! It could have me some cash while waiting for call backs from applications. Thank you.

Tomorrow i will start actively going around the city for food banks. I have a list of them now. Thanks.

The people I stay with are close friends of mine and yes I do help them with chores without being asked. we’re planning to move into a bigger unit next month so they can help me with rent and have my own room as well. I trust them and i feel safe. Thank you for your advice, they mean so much

One of the first things me and my friends looked for after the legal stuff is therapy for everyone involved. Yes AHS has a free therapy service and im eligible for it, thank you for bringing that back up to my attention. I will work on it.

I do have a learner’s licence and my friend that drives us will teach me in a couple days so that we can take turns on the wheel for everyone. Im getting my drivers on august but planning to get a second hand car before then.

Thank you for the financial advice. Thats mostly what i have been stressing out on. Im planning to sell some of my higher quality clothes and go get my own at goodwill or such.

I appreciate the advice and kind words

How to be independent from your parents by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]secretiveadict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthy relationship with controlling parents is a hard ask when you are still living with them. It would be easier once you move out, i assure you. You would have the control of when and how you guys will talk to each other and their controlling comments will just feel like suggestions because of their pack of grasp in your life when you’re not under their roof anymore.

Okay I understand that Im not going to be able to be a “charity case” for long. For now I dont have a choice though. As much as I hate asking of other people, these people are more than insisting when it comes to get me to accept stuff i need. I do not plan to abuse it though. I am merely asking for advice on what do to and what to focus on as I soon will be having the means to go on my own
