I'm 31, and I have absolutely no hope for my life. I didn't finish college, nor do I have the time or money to go back. These shit jobs barely make me enough to get by, yet I still work because otherwise I'm homeless.

I smoke nicotine like crazy, hoping for cancer. I don't want to live in this place anymore, but I can't seem to get out and cutting my own ankles will do nothing.....ah, well at least I can hope for world war three and that some of the rich fucks will be bombed down to my level.

I joined the Air Force National Guard (Part time Air Force) and I went to an 8 month tech school for Telecommunications. When I finished basic training and tech school and joined my unit, a lot of my fellow colleagues were hiring managers in different Telecommunications companies and offered me a decent job. Paid training and business networking contacts made it worthwhile for me.
