Author Topic: I've reached a crossroad in my life and have to go in a direction  (Read 2262 times)

Young adults renting an apartment together is a pretty lightly made offer. Sometimes it lasts a couple weeks, sometimes it lasts years. Hit or miss really. My good friend, who has had the same boyfriend for like 4 years, is moving into an apartment with a guy she barely knows because she can't afford to live alone, and the other guy says he isn't ready to move in with her yet. Odd situation..
I'd go for the education just to get away from home. I was dying to get out of the house by the time I was 19 and I'm sure you're feeling that way at this point too.

Both my parents and I are itching to get me out. As for her, her mom already kicked her out and won't let her back in, but I won't delve into her situation since it's a really messy one. Her boyfriend already asked to be her roommate but she denied him. She was gonna room with another guy friend for a while but I think they had a falling out and don't talk to each other much anymore. At this point, I'm her only guy friend besides her boyfriend who's been spending a bunch of time with her and sticking around regardless of situations.

i really appreciate that you share these parts of your life since im approaching to having similar things to be anxious about. thanks a ton.

this problem's a doozy; id go with staying in town since if your parents arent willing to financially support you, college may be a problem. sure CC is cheap but it wont get you all the way to a job; you'll likely have to attend a 4 year college for at least two years (assuming you get your associates) before any serious employer in the field you want to go into would hire you.

id probably stay long enough to build up a nest egg, then jump out when things get excessively boring/intolerable at work/home and your position with your crush clears up. it's awfully kind of her to offer you a place to stay; maybe it will go further from there, given its not an offer lightly made.

Stacking money is something that I've already started on. I managed to hoard a cash wad for a while for buying my car, paying tickets, and various other things drained quite a bit of it and I'm not saving as fast anymore. Gotta budget everything on my current job situation and compare it to a single full-time management job to look at what's a better idea.

Update on situation: I'm looking at an associate's degree in Business Administration from St. Louis Community College. Still haven't made a final decision yet so my work and living situation remains the same, but it's starting to look like I may be staying in Missouri.

So today I was at work and the GMIT told me to finish up with the cars in the drive thru so he could talk to me in private in the office. The general manager had flown the coop due to a domestic issue with a guy making threatening throat slashing gestures at her after we had filed a restraining order on him, so she went home. Thinking it was related to that, I wasn't worried. When I went in the office, he told me to shut off my headset to make certain that no one else with headsets could possibly hear what we were saying. He then told me after the last discussion we had had on my situation, my GM told him that she would pay me anything to take the manager job, even if it means that I'm the highest paid manager by a landslide. The only catch is that I can't tell anyone what I'm making, including my best friend who is also being promoted to a manager position. I'm probably going to settle for a 50% increase in pay, put in my two weeks notice of leaving at my other job, and ask for 40-50 hours of work per week until school starts back for me in the spring semester.

At this point, it'd be stupid to not take up this offer. I love my coworkers, I can handle the manager duties that I've been given so far (even though I'm not officially a manager), my pay will be extravagant compared to what I'm used to, and everyone there is trying everything in their capabilities and then some to make sure I don't leave.

Probably have to let them know tomorrow.

Tbh I don't really know why everyone loves me so much. I'm very roostery and nice to customers, plus considerate of coworkers by not leaving messes and understocked supplies. I'd say besides the roosteriness, it should pretty much just be expected of everyone.

if you tell your parents you gotta be very assertive that this is the only way it'll get you to get out of your parents house

its a conspiracy
they don't want you to see what lies beyond the veil of edge of your society
to perceive the truth from the other end of the suspension bridge between your life and real life

If you take the manager job just think about all the cops you could pay off with the extra cash  :cookieMonster:

I'm at the point now where only about 1 in 3 of my traffic stops actually results in a ticket, so I'm getting better.
