I was actually in an extremely similar situation 2 years ago. Had to quit an apprenticeship in a trade I loved at a place with great coworkers. I went back to uni depressed, drank heavily for a while but I'm just recently starting to feel my life moving in the right direction again.

My only advice: Be decisive.

I was a successful tradesman until I got a DUI 7 years ago. Since then I went to college, but still can't find work. Can't get back into the trades because of my driving record (which is confusing and infuriating) and can't get into white collar college work because I can't pass a background check (My moral character isn't up to par from 7 years ago) Currently jobless, looking for a Mcjob because they are the only places that will hire me.

Don't get a DUI kids. It will utterly destroy your ability to find work.

If you have initiative and drive you will succeed.

Try to get on with your local public sector government. Even if it's a groundskeeper or janitor.

As long as you don't have a crime directly relating to what you'll do for work, they generally won't care.

A DUI from 7 years shouldn't be much a problem for anything that isn't driving a county/government vehicle all day.

The industry is booming here. Especially in Texas. I just started out as a CNC operator a year ago and am working toward being a machinist.

I love the work and it is the best paying entry level job I've ever worked. I'd tell you to come work in the states but I'd imagine it isn't easy unless you can find a company willing to sponsor you for a work visa. Tons of companies are starving for good experience cnc machinists, though. People aren't going into the trades like they used to.

I'd say what gets me through frustrating times is wanting to be there if I'm needed. Like if the white South Africans get in a civil war with the majority blacks and they need volunteers. Also just the prospect of meeting more people like myself, that share the same ideas.

He said a lot of places won't hire him because of his background. Maybe he can't afford to be picky.

Also being a janitor can be pretty damn comfy. I had a year and a half stint as one and out of the like 12 jobs I've had it's easily the one I was the second happiest at. I made shitall for money but nobody bothered me so long as I did my work and I just got to walk around all day thinking and listening to music.

I test new drugs and vaccinations for a living.
I have been injected by nearly 20k different drugs.
Also i work as gay, lesbian, bi hetero pron star for major jewish producers.
They treat me great. I get free food (just have to suck it from a black garden hose that pokes thru wall).
I have free 6x4 room.
I really love my jew master, he is very nice to me. On saturdays he doesnt even beat me.

I can give you a number to call if you want, would love to help out.

Literally all of those trades hire entry level guys all the time. You'll start more as a labourer, but work hard, and try not to be dumb, and they'll sign you up as an apprentice. Also, learn how to wrap an extension cord properly, and you'll be ahead of the game.

Do the original P90 series, it's seriously for old people and diabetics. Quit eating like shit. 4 months and you'll be 50 lbs lighter with minimal effort. Shave your fucking head.

I'm a software engineer. Lots of SJWs and cuckolds in this field but I've managed to stay away from them by getting a job that requires programming languages that don't spoonfeed you. I use C and FASM (x86 flat assembler) a lot in my job. General rule of thumb is that if it makes you manage your own memory, the blue haired cunts won't touch it. Leftists are incapable of logical and linear though because they have shit for brains.

If you had kids, your narcissism and inane ego will drive them away. You will die owing at least two of them thousands of dollars.

Just give the fucker a decent wage NOW. Don't focus on one or two people, think long term and get a crew together NOW. Start a business, no "mobile repair" trash, you'll be giving your gophers too much to do and not enough income/leeway for humane and sufficient influence over the business without looking like a lazy lardass.
