What is up gents,

Encroaching the end of my high school career and as graduation is in 3 months, I need some help making probably the biggest decision of my life at this turning point. Through some research and meetings I have received a few opportunities that will determine the route I take towards becoming the lawyer I strive to become. It has been difficult for me to choose as it is really a decision on which sacrifice will fuck up my life the least but still get me where I want to be. A few side notes: my house is ruined and I am moving far from it no matter what occurs, I have no money at the moment but it should change soon as I begin working again mid March, I am graduating, and I am not an idiot.

Choice one is to go to a JC and work my ass off at the same time in order to afford an apartment and other necessities. Best case scenario for this would be to also get a roommate to lower finances, I suppose. I would bust my ass at JC getting A's and B's so that after obtaining my associate's, I can transfer to a nearby uni and get my bachelor's before entering law school. The sacrifice here is that I would more than likely fall into a surplus of debt like the rest of America and end up living paycheck to paycheck.

Second option is to join the military. This would result in me being molded into a man and leaving the forces with a GI bill sending me to college for free. Also I would experience things close to death resulting in a stronger mind and could gain knowledge of what the military life is like and how the battlefield is first-hand. You can only study so much. My sacrifices here are my rights to the government and the potential of getting too close to death and fading off the earth.

Last is to join a gang while pursuing option 1. I have connections in SoCal who could get me in and I could be making money here while reshaping myself as well. I would obviously be sacrificing my life to the gang with an outstanding chance of dying and if not that then ending up in jail or prison, which could possibly ruin my chances at becoming what I want to be.

The thing is, what I want out of life is to end up with power like everybody else with a good head on their shoulders does. Whether it is me in politics or me at the top of a gang, I strive to obtain power in my life. With the way America is looking, I don't know if my best choice is to enter their political chain or for me to join a gang and rise up there as I'd have my own army when America crashes.

With what you have read about my opportunities and I, I would love your insights so that I can make a decision with confidence entering with boldness, and start off on the correct path to beating life. Thanks to all in advance.
