I'm turning 29 in December and I've never held a job for longer than 10 weeks, do you think I'll be employable after completing a 2 year program at a community college? I really could just lie about how long I stayed at places, am I going to have to do that to have a chance?

I'd really prefer to be honest at this point in my life. Im willing to make sacrifices.

Do you think it's worth going to a community college during covid when a lot of stuff is going to be online?

If you're wondering how I've even made it to this point I was living off welfare and my mom

I never had a job I felt was worth a ****ing thing. Also people say I had an attitude problem but that was just an alcohol problem and them being *******s trying to pretend they're better than me.

Tried selling cars?

Not my style

Depends on the 2 years community college program you're doing. Questions are: what field, when do you finish, any further education / certification goals figured out after for being more marketable or getting into a specific career, do you have any debts and what are they if so. Answering some of these things puts into perspective where you're at, and what your road map can look like.

It sounds to me like you need to actually feel PUMPED and MOTIVATED to get a prosperous career going. You're perhaps lacking drive. I know for me, having a clear vision of what's to come and what steps I need to take helps me feel driven, and as those steps are completed I feel ambitious and like the sky's the limit.

My steps are easily drawn out right now, I'm in the very beginning process of applying to college/choosing the right program. Sometimes I look forward to college too much and other times I feel very lost.

The unsettling aspect always comes down to thinking far into the future. I understand that it might not be worth doing a lot of the time but with some major concerns I need to find answers and I worry about missing a few things in the thinking process sometimes and dealing with unexpected things.

I'm looking at electrical engineering programs, hoping to work as an electrical technician or help with electrical equipment maintenance. I think software would be a better pretty boy career option but electrical is what I want to do (and I'm not changing it guaranteed), just not sure how my future stacks up a lot of the time. There seems to be so much variance between jobs, there is a lot of confusion in it all that being in the beginning stages isn't worth the worry but the big picture of kind of who I am is important and my job history is terrible but I'm an improved person. I dont wanna look like a dumbass out of school whose gonna **** around and be useless and then end up working in the call centre cause Im just a loser who doesnt deserve a decent role in an organization

I reckon you'll feel more amped and clear headed when you make progression in the program. You'll prove to yourself you like the content, you can understand it and do something functional with it. And I'm not talking about gen ed classes like Poetry and English Comp, or even General Engineering classes like Calculus and Physics, but I mean the specialized courses such as Circuits and Thermodynamics.

Don't be worried about things too much right now, you said it yourself, you haven't even started the program yet. If anything, just prepare for getting engrossed in the studies, in addition to the folks you'll be interacting with in the field.

Can't speak on how EE is doing these days as far as job demand and career wise. I would assume $60k+ starting salaries like most STEM (more if you live in a high CoL area). I would advise you, as you get comfortable with the Semesters, to take on an internship, even if it's unpaid (paid is preferred obviously).

I would still get an associates at a community. It will be beneficial for you.
