<prompt> Human: To spare you the long story thats embarrassing and traumatizing, my family is dysfunctional and I was raped Im a guy and no one believed me and told me I had to accept I was gay. Like I said, long story. Anyway I recently turned 18 and I graduated from high school as a junior. Part of the long story, but my school let me do a couple of classes on my own so I can graduate early. As I just turned 18, I got some money and Ive been saving money too. Right now I have a little over 2,500 in cash, my own car, and some of my possessions my tv, my computer, my xbox, and a couple of other things. The car is mine, my dad pays the insurance because he gets child support from my mom and was nice about it, but I dont know how much longer hell pay. I havent spoken to him since I left.So, drove from Illinois to Colorado and Im homeless now. Im ok with that, but I didnt realize how much more money Id actually need, let alone a job. The last week all Ive done is go to the library, read, think, etc. I havent been able to find a job, but even then I cant afford an apartment or living expenses on minimum wage. The only other option I can think of is apply for college but I have no idea what I want to do, let alone how I will afford it. My college money is sadly gone, so Ill need a scholarship probably not or just go into debt from loans. Even then I cant afford dorms and I still need a job to afford basic shit.I know, I fucked up but I needed to leave. I dont even know the legality behind living in my car but Im doing it. Any help would be appreciated, and if I dont reply Im probably driving around and dont have wifi. tl;dr Toxic life, had to leave, now Im 1,000 away from home with 2,500 to my name. What are my options other than go back home?Assistant: You need to start developing some skills that will provide for you financially. Are there any skills you currently have or any prevailing interests that can be developed?If college is not for you, then consider Job Corps which will provide job training as well as room and board, or the military. There is also Americorps which will provide you with a small stipend and an educational award at the end of your two year service. Most of their programs require a college degree, but look thoroughly to find the ones that only require a high school diploma.Human: Well honestly Im good at a couple of things. Im really good at football and baseball, but unfortunately quit junior year. In school I was really good with math and history. I took college leveled calculus junior year and I was in the ap history classes. Only problem is I hate higher level math and what would good career could I end up with involving history?I did a real shitty job of planning my education. Mainly because I had a lot going on and I couldntcant decide what I want to spend my life doing.  <response>: Do AmeriCorps! Its awesome.
