  • You could see an employment counselor to try to find a career that you with both enjoy and that you would do well at. Your employment counselor could have you take what is called an interest and aptitude test.

    Once you have selected a career goal, you could interview people who work in that career to find out more information about that career.

    Student loans and student grants may be available to you as financial aid.

    Success is to enjoy the passage of time. You'll spend a whole lot of time at your job, so it would be really helpful if you enjoyed it so that you would feel better about working.

  • Like your parents find an opportunity for success and pursue it. Outside of winning the lottery that is the only way to escape poverty.

  • Go to a Community College and prepare for a well-paid high-tech in-demand technical career. Most of those programs can be completed in a year or two.

    Work can make you rich. There is dignity in work. "In the Christian Bible, Jesus taught that you should teach a man to fish so that he could feed himself. Giving a man a fish makes him dependent on you and he is vulnerable to exploitation and becomes disempowered through your generosity."
