My father was a genuine psychopath who had always been treating me like shit - he kicked me out 4 months ago. So I went to live at my mother's place (she's a cleaner with low income, so I pitch in on most expenses).
The night that happened, I took a cold shower to calm down. Then I sat down to work. Since that moment I've literally been working 16 hours/day. A couple of weeks later I got a copywriting job at a magazine. To be honest I did it really good. I've always taken a pride in writing well, and I'd also read Ca$hvertising and other books.
Then the owner's spoiled son needed a job during the summer and I got kicked. I've watched his work and it really is just copy-and-paste. Damn nepotism.
At the same time I started a webshop that's failed miserably because its core concept was flawed. I also learned you need to be REALLY careful when choosing business partners...
However, failing that venture learned me a lot about HTML, CSS, WordPress, JavaScript and online marketing (AdWords, split testing etc), and that knowledge will probably benefit me in the future.
Now I've got $350 in my bank account. Can't get a job because I'm under 18, most likely never will because the job market in my country is f*cked up (and it certainly won't become better).
But hey, I don't care about that because I don't want to become a wage slave.
I really don't know what I will do now. All I know is that I need to learn and get inspiration.
