<prompt> Human: This will be a pretty lengthy post, so if you arent interested in reading all of it, dont feel bad, thank you anyways. If this is not the subreddit to be posting in for this situation, or if there is a better one, please let me know and I can post it there instead, thanks!Hey guys, my name is David. I am an 18-year-old recent high school graduate. I hope that any one of you are able to help me, as any advice right now would probably save me.I am at a loss for what to do with my life currently. I was working for the majority of this past summer, at a minimum wage job that was only temporary, for the summer season. Well, two Fridays ago, I completed my last day of work, and got my final paycheck, but now I can not find another job no matter where I search. I am upset with myself over not securing another position to be prepared, because I already knew when my job was going to end.I am now homeless, as my mother is not letting me live with her if I am not paying rent. I got kicked out on Saturday. I am not enrolled in any college classes currently, as I did not want to have to deal with any debt too early in my life, since Id have to pay all the costs myself. I also only have ideas of what work Id like to do, but I am not 100 dead set on anything yet. If I become confident in a field of study, I would love to enroll in a college or university. Id like to be a teacher, especially at a high school; thatd be the career choice Im most interested in currently.Well, back to the point of this post. What do you all recommend me to do currently, in my situation? I am homeless, and I currently have with me just 60 in cash, a prepaid smartphone that still has a month of service left, my drivers license and SS card, two backpacks stuffed with basic toiletries, clothes, and a pair of boots I have another pair which I usually wear, just some running shoes. I have been eating snacks from Dollar Tree, and fast food restaurants value menus. I have been filling up a gallon of water each day and drinking that, since its free. I have been sleeping in various secluded areas with no problems, and spending the daytime hours in fast food restaurants, coffee shops, and at the library. I am currently thinking my last and only opportunity is the military, and I am completely okay with making the decision of joining if needed. I prefer to join the branch that will get me started the fastest, from joining to actual basic training. From my research, this seems to be the Army or Marines. ? I have almost no knowledge of the military to be honest, and I am very worried of what a recruiter would think if I told him my situation, so Id prefer not to do that. I am not even sure how to explain to him that I dont know why I want to enlist, I just do... as well as that I am living on the streets.That is all I really have to say, I am going to try to reply to all of the comments, if I get any. Thank you again guys, I hope you can give me advice.Assistant: The military isnt a quick solution and could take months between signing and shipping off. As for now, take advantage of resources in your area or move to an area with better resources if you must do so. Human: Thank you. Oh and yeah, thats unfortunately what I was worried about, with the military. But youre right, Im aiming to make my money last as long as possible, and am doing what I can to find another source of income, preferably any stable full-time job that I can get to. There isnt really anything for homeless assistance nearby, so moving is an idea I agree with. Thanks again!  <response>: Generally, the military is a great option. However, you dont want to tell them that you are homeless. Its not conducive to recruitment. Right now, dont drink, dont smoke, dont do drugs, dont sleep with strangers and dont trust anyone on the streets.
