Hello everyone, I know this decision is up to me no one else, but I do need some advice on this. Post might be long
I barely turned 17 not to long ago, i dropped out of high school after 10th grade. During that time I felt like I had to, because of the situation I was in. Looking back it was probably a bad decision. I felt like I had to help my mom with the rent, and bills, did I need to? i don’t know, but the thought of my mom and siblings living below our needs because it was just her working really got me scared of where would we end up.
yesterday she asked me if i want to go back to school, i can. I don’t know if i should. Where i work at has taken a toll on my mental health, and im only 17, i wonder how long will i be doing this before i give up. I said i’ll do this and that but i haven’t, i’ll admit I haven’t did what i said i would. i don’t have time for anything now, and when I do it’s only on sunday. I want to own a business one day, I know it’ll take years but my job just won’t give me the time. So many factors go to both options if i should go back to school or try to put up with my job. I just been thinking about what i was told at work, “you have the opportunity to go to school to learn and do something, we only work here because its been our only option since we were your age. You don’t have a reason to be working like we do, you can be making what your worth and do whatever you want from there, many of the other guys here at the job site would kill to have the opportunity you do”
If i go back to school i will have to work a part time and make less than what I do. My mom said she’ll get a second job. Maybe it’s a more promising future than staying at the job i’m in
I feel guilty though
Like i said there’s a lot of ups and downs on both sides, i had to leave out many things because then this post would’ve been long. I’m going to do the WADM chart mj said on the tmf book. thanks for reading
