This.

Force change to happen if it wont do it itself. Going away from home and slaving in some low IQ job should be the spark you need to make changes.

If you need money in the meantime find a construction/moving job. Yeah its physical labor but it will keep a roof over your head while you figure things out.

This newish market is super saturated brahs, I've been working for the last years on and off as a freelance but the competition is mind blowing, for my work there are 100 guys in the philippines who are better than me and work for a fraction of what I'd consider honest pay

Or else commit yourself to school (but only if there's a job you really want/would make lots of money that requires it). 25 is plenty young to go to school. Just don't do it if you have no direction with it. Then you'll be 29, jobless, and in debt.
Thanks, that's wise input

Well that was me a year ago. I went through the same crisis last year and decided to go back to college.

I had a job but it didn't pay much more than minimum wage, and I already hit the pay ceiling. I say research some industries/jobs bro and plan your college and career path.

When I decided on my career and starting researching it and registering for classes, I got a massive boost in my mood and motivation to achieve. Feels like I'm starting a new life, srs.

It takes about 2 years to get RN from nursing school and the pay is good and you can get a job immediately upon graduation. Also the job is in demand everywhere

If you don't want to work for yourself then go back to school, srs.

Get a degree that will open the door to a career you think you'd enjoy doing. You can work at the same time.

Why not join the police? You have both Italian and Swiss citizenship. If you join the Italian police you could take bribes all the time. If you join the Swiss police you'd just be chilling all day. Both attractive options IMO.

Don't have much advice.

But the most I can say is that it's never too late study, and 25 is still very young, your life is far from over, hang in there.

You can get a degree as a pharmacist and make 1600 euros per month.
Yea food isn't as expensive but saving and making money fukn sucks there that's why I got the fuk out.
On top of that so many bullchit subjects are taught in high school.

To my knowledge you can't unless on a HB-1 visa or are a dual citizen/ have a green card.

Right now I'm gonna stack money for about 6 months. Gonna get rid of my $480 in car/insurance costs and drive a car I own outright. If I didn't own a car I'd just bike and use PT like most college kids. Then I have to crunch numbers on if I should work part time, or just quit to get more financial aid.

It's gonna suck having less spending money/independence, but I should be making $125k+ in 4-5 years. Just get on track NOW and you can always explore other options while you're in class. Getting a degree in the right field is just such a good asset.

Or you can look into a trade if you can't stand the thought of college. Personally I'm stoked to go back and experience that college life.

You are right about almost everything, minimum wage sucks in Italy, and there are few jobs, life isnt that cheap so everybody is just constantly hanging in there and 3k a month is kind of a dream job, but high school education is actually very good, through and hard, if you compare it with other european countries or even US high school our graduates are very well prepared in general culture

You have a few options

1)Learn a trade
2) Learn basic programming and web development
3) Digital marketing jobs - lots of resources online, can get a job in SEO or PPC. Doesnt require coding but it helps
4) Military

Do some career or aptitude tests and see what they recommend as well

If I didn't own a car I'd just bike and use PT like most college kids. Then I have to crunch numbers on if I should work part time, or just quit to get more financial aid.

It's gonna suck having less spending money/independence, but I should be making $125k+ in 4-5 years. Just get on track NOW and you can always explore other options while you're in class. Getting a degree in the right field is just such a good asset.

Or you can look into a trade if you can't stand the thought of college. Personally I'm stoked to go back and experience that college life.
Feels good to see that you are on your way after going through what I am going through, my biggest concern about starting college now is that I fear that when I get out with a degree say 27 yo, I will be competing with guys with the same paper and 5 years less than me, do you think your age wont significantly impact your chance of getting a job?

You're still young dude. I'm 31 and I've felt what you felt about a few years ago. It's not uncommon to not have everything you want in life around your age. Stop overthinking and just do something. If it works out it works out, if it doesn't then try something else.
