18, just graduated highschool, my GPA is only 2.5 Am I fucked?

Depends on your ACT/SATs and what your expectations for higher education and/or career opportunities are

Better not fuck up in college if that's what your next step is

Kek i got a 2.3 and joined the Air Force. There are other options other than college in the beginning. I'm 20 and graduated on 2015. I'm planning on getting an AA in the Air Force and going to college with it. Also the GI bill doesnt hurt to have.

Not even close, you probably dodged a bullet, for outside of STEM college is a marxist debt machine. Go to community college for some STEM or even better go to Trade school

Of course not, retard. Go to a community college if you want a degree, save a shitload of money and learn the ropes.

Or, if college isn't your thing, try a trade school or police or some shit like that

Or military.

Unless your parents were gonna pay your college bill in full then no, you saved yourself two years or so of college loans. Just go to a community college and transfer to a 4 year uni.

Absolutely not. Here's my life.

>do shit in middle school
>do absolute shit in high school due to depression
>still graduate with all C/Ds
>get a $10 hour job while still looking for a better paying job
>work, eat, sleep, repeat
>get enough money for Flight school
>get private in a year and commercial in 2 years
>apply to be helicopter pilot at a hospital
>get more hours flying
>put in application to fly for VIPs to and from places
>make 150k a year

Also, listen to what Mike Rowe says. You will most likely not get your dream job. My dream job was to be a lawyer but I just can't remember stuff for shit and am very timid. Do a job which you are best at. Chances are the dream job you want isn't something you can do.

I got around 1.5 in hs, albeit I took only honors and AP classes and just didn't bother to turn in hw bc it was a joke at the time, then I got a shitty job for a couple years, went to CC and am now graduating from a top-20 school in applied math & CS. But statistically speaking you're fucked unless you pull an outlier maneuver like I did or some of these other anons. we're def not the norm

The world will always need plumbers. Also electricians, cops, mailmen, bus drivers, barbers, firemen, construction workers, truck drivers, assembly line workers, salesmen, etc etc.

All honorable and well-paying professions.

Trade School
