<prompt> Human: As stated in the title, I am a male that has recently turned 19 and my family is kicking me out soon.Some info:- 19 years old- Live in Ontario- I have 10 in my chequing account and 40 in my savings account.- I will be entering my second year at University of Waterloo- I have 2 part time jobs, one that is 16.25hour and the other is 12.50hour.- I know no one that will let me live at there place for a while.- I am certified with standard first aid with CPR-C, NLS, and lifesavingswim instructorMy bank account is very scarce only because my family usually takes my pay stubs and deals with them before I can see them.I only recent created my own individual bank account and am now going transfer my future pay cheques to that account. I know that I at least have made 2000 in the past 3 years with my jobs, but I have no idea where it has gone and my family has told me that they will give me what I have earned in the past 3 years, but I dont know how much I can actually trust them on that.I contacted my university recently about my recent change in my financial status, but they told me that they wont help me and expect my family to help fund me for the first 4 years and that my OSAP wont change.I only went to university because my parents wont accept anything less. Im not interested in what I am pursuing in uni and its not easy or cheap. Is continuing with university the safest option to making it on my own or should I drop out and start to find jobs now, in time for the fall season? my family has never taught me anything about financial needs and they never gave me any spending money throughout my life. So I am really blind sided about this. What should I do? How should I spend my money and what should I spend it on? Should I try to continue with my university career or should I drop out and find a homeless shelter in Toronto and try and find a job?Really lost on what I should do.  <response>: Considering that youre not interested in what youre studying and that its not easy or inexpensive, it seems to me that your wisest choice would be to withdraw and work full time at this point. First, because youre not passionate about attending university and secondly, because youre broke and need to go about earning money to support yourself fully. Let your employers know that youre available on a full time basis and see if either can bump up your hours. Also, if Canada has the equivalent of a social services department, make an appointment to see if you qualify for any housing or food assistance. Once youve mastered supporting yourself over the next couple of years which will also give you time to really think about what you want to do with your life, you can re-start your college career in a productive way. Just make sure you withdraw correctly with the registrars office so that when you are ready to re-start, there will be no obstacles in your path from that end of things. Best wishes to you.
