Nah man. Think outside the box. You can do whatever you want at the end of the day. Start flipping things. Go to Walmart, BestBuy and other retailers and find good clearance shit. And resell on Ebay or FB Marketplace. I know it's not going to make you rich but itll help you think outside the box.

You dont have to go to school or work factory. Theres so many ways to make money nowadays, what I would recommend is if you have time right now, even if you are only JUST getting by. Accept that it will be like this for a while and commit to learning something.

What I would recommend is to learn Facebook Ads, they have a free course that teaches you as much as you need to get started. They give a Certificate at the end. Google ads also has one like this but I find FB Ads skills the most sought after by ecommerce companies.

This is just one example and one that I would probably recommend you to dive into, solely on the basis that you are guaranteed to make six figures once you become proficient and have some experience down. It wont be easy, but if you're considering a 4 years trades program then bro...

I have no issue with people grinding countless hours and trading time for money but as you get older you will realize that although money can be lost and made, time is something you can never get back. So your focus and mindset should be like this "how can I make money easily so I have more time to do the things I love/better myself". Time is your most valuable asset, not only with woman but in life.

Any trades, ups, warehouse and most standard jobs will likely be stripping away x amount of time for x amount of money. When you think of time as your most valuable asset, naturally you'll get drawn to want to go against the norm.

TL;DR: Time is your most valuable asset. Learn a skill online, PPC, FBads, ecommerce, SEO etc. Dont work hourly jobs that will strip away your life and limit your financial freedom long term while sacrificing your mental/physical well being.

Why the fuck are you paying your ex’s phone bill? And if you don’t wanna go to college to find a lucrative career, finding a high paying trade is doable. Go become a plumber, electrician, ups driver.

You have a few options to get to financial independence. 1. Start a business. This is the highest reward with the highest risk out there. Find a niche, find a problem in that niche, and solve it. Then market that. Your business needs to be SCALABLE, or else you will still be tied to hours worked for x amount per hour. This is a safe choice

Get into a trade and stick with it. Live frugally and INVEST. Depending on the area, this will guarantee you 6 figures in ten years. Minimum.
(My personal choice) Go to college and GET A DEGREE IN SOMETHING VALUABLE. People who say college is a scam are more than likely being persuaded to follow their passion and major in that. I hate to break it to those people, but nobody wants to pay good money for a Art History major. Pick a degree that is easily applicable to jobs: computer science, electrical engineering, accounting, etc. You are paid based on how replaceable you are, the more knowledgeable you are, the harder it is to replace you = more money. This is a safe choice

But, I will be honest with you. Living alone at 19 is expensive, and difficult. You will likely need to work 50-60 hours per week in order to save up enough money to be comfortable (6 month emergency fund). Once you save up enough for 6 months of expenses, cut back your hours to 30, live frugally, and then choose one of the three listed above. But hey, what do I know

And don’t pay for anybody’s shit, no idea why your ex is still on your phone plan.

Why is your ex STILL on your plan?

I worked a factory job and climbed to the top within a year... it’s a grind... I’d recommend it for a year and like another said live frugally while saving time to put a focus on school/ a higher paying career.
