Can't you retake the SAT as many times as you want? I know I took it twice.

Have you considered blue collar? You need to use your body, not your jarhead.
Don't worry senpai it pays better than white collars.

I'll probably do that. My issue is cramming for this shit within a month. I haven't opened up a book in so long. Probably gonna higher a tutor or some shit.

I was an info tech in the marines. Sounds fucking retarded but yea it was a job available for me at the time since one of my few interests were computers. I also am planning on going to school for it but it's pretty fucking problematic when my dumbass left all these shitstains while I was gorwing up.

The application form for most 2 year colleges consists of Write Your Name. If you get 50% on that question, you're in.

Staying in is another question. Assuming you are not just stupid, your bad school history is probably a product of bad attitude. Let's hope the marines instilled more pride and discipline into you so you will do pretty well this time.

But it would be wise to start slow. Take a couple of elementary courses, in math and composition, just to get you up to speed.

Meanwhile another anon's suggestion for a non-academic future shouldn't be dismissed too quickly. College isn't the best route for everyone (NOTE that I did NOT suggest you're not good enough for it, but that it may not be best for you)

The world will always need plumbers. And electricians, truck drivers, cops, barbers, electricians, bus drivers, firemen, postmen, auto mechinaics, etc - all honorable and well-paying professions.

Dumbass. No wonder you got a 1.8, go buy a SAT review book and get studying and yeah, take more than a month to get it in your peanut brain OP.
