They all paid mediocre and most the good paying jobs were almost an hour away.

My recent job I quit was at GM and they had me working Mon – Sat 10 hour shifts $15/hr and one night on my way home (an hour drive) I fell asleep at the wheel due to exhaustion and totaled my car and was very close to dying.

Me quitting had everyone in my family devastated and I was called “unmotivated” and “Lazy” among other things from my Dad and other family members. The crash made me rethink my life and I just couldnt do it anymore.

I’m lost on what to do, I feel worthless and like I’m not a good support for being unable to hold a job for longer than 6 months meanwhile my girlfriend can hold the same part time job for 3 years. (We live separately and she says it’s not a HUGE deal but I guess my insecurities say otherwise)

I’m 21 and have worked almost 10 jobs since i started working at 17. I’m starting to think the military might be my best bet, any advice ? Thanks!
