<prompt> Human: I need help. Im a 27 year old college drop out that lost my job 6 months back due to the school I was teaching at closing down and I just dont know what I have to do to be even remotely self sufficient. I have no job, no formal education but a decent work history. My credit is crap because of a credit card I got when I was 18 and went delinquent on. I do have great parents who were able to take me in when I needed it the most but I need to be on my own fixing my own problems but it is so difficult being in the situation I am in. My bank account is negative right now. I owe 170.00 on my cell phone that is turned off. I have been applying for jobs left and right. Some of the jobs i apply for are probably out of my range since i dont have a degree but i still try. So what I am asking you guys is what can and should I do to help myself? And what kind of jobs can I apply for that will turn into a career?  <response>: Join the Air Force. Get free training, College Fund, A place to live.
