I feel like i'll never move out of my parents house again. i dont know if this is just anxiety but i feel i ahve made all the wrong choices and will be stuck here forever. i feel the 2 years in school is wasted because i wont be using my degree. Is there anything i can do? any good jobs? any good alternatives to not sucking at life so much?

Have you thought about working in the racing field/industry?

i nevr gave that thought because i always thought it was elite type thing to get into. like having to know someone that knows someone.

i love cars and if i knew of jobs that paid well in the race field i would most def take it.

I'm going over to Iraq for me second year, and let me tell you, the money is great! But there is contract work in almost every other country also if Iraq isn't for you, check it out. You get to see the world, and make a great income. Plus the first $80,000 is completely tax free, as long as you are out of the US for 330 days.

Wow, I made a typo, thanks so much for your assistance. I can get a good nights rest knowing that someone out there cares....

Forget school anyway, I'll have enough money after this year to start another business, goal is to be semi-retired in 5 years.

And if anyone wants info about overseas work, just shoot me a PM, or I can post it public, doesn't matter. I know a bunch of companies doing contract work that pay very well.

I'm working for a company called Lear Seigler Inc, but there are tons of other companies overseas also. Halliburton, KBR, Parsons, etc...
Here are some good links to get started for anyone interested.

last year in Iraq, I fixed military vehicles ranging from Humvees to HETT's. Pretty cool stuff. this year I'll be going back as an HVAC mechanic. But they have logistics positions, clerical, communications, security, everything under the sun.

Oh, and it is called "contract" work, because it is one contract at a time, my company signs you up for a year long contract, some are 6 months, etc...

Hell, there is even a company that hires for Antarctica!

almost every job on those sites requires a degree of some sort

not all of them require degrees, I don't have a degree, and this will be my second year. You just have to check back regularly. especially with the Iraq jobs, there are plenty of entry level positions that don't require a degree. For example working warehouse, as a mechanic, a welder, or HR associate.
But the fact remains that the original poster does have a degree, and in maintenance, so it should be a perfect fit.
