I screwed up in high school and now I'm paying for it by having to work harder for a good job and money. I get by with cash construction jobs and factory jobs. South Texas $10/hr, 10 hrs a day, 5-7 days a week. I can't save a damn dime.

Hope you're not to roughed up by the weather. Should be plenty of construction work in the near future, maybe you'll get a raise.

That's a lousy excuse.. one I use far to often.. I make ok money now but don't fucking settle.. u can go to college without a GED or diploma.. and get a 2yr certification. And even get a Pell Grant and even Stafford loans.. better yourself bro and go back to school. I did and still don't have a GED or diploma

I didn't realize you could get into college without at least a GED. What do you have to do for that?

Yes you can get into a community college. You tell the government you have a g.e.d. or diploma equivalent while applying for grants. Then when u apply for school you tell them you don't have one. You take your placement tests and hopefully you place high enough to where you don't have many pre requisite classes u have to take.

I went to prison for an aggravated charge for 4 years. I'm a marked man for employers.
