<prompt> Human: Just like the title says, Im a 24 year old who failed out of college. I have always had a poor work ethic for most of my life and Ive been turning around hard. I look back and see all of my past mistakes that should have never occurred, despite learning from them. I currently have my own apartment and pay my own bills but I feel restricted in my options. I dont want to live my life living paycheck to paycheck the way I am now, I am ready to make a change, a difference, however Im at a loss on where to start. I cant afford college at the moment and student loans are completely destroying any spending money I could have. Im not looking for definite answers, just some advice from folk who have been in this situation or any others with wise advice. I used to suffer from severe anxiety and depression, which is what caused my downfall, but I am ready to rise from rock bottom and kill it out there.  <response>: You could always look into jobs that do a lot of traveling in the construction industry. Drop the apartment to save cost that way, and if your able to, bunk at parents houses in between gigs if theres any downtime. Even doing it for a few years just to pay off debt and build a savings would help more than you think. Cruise line is another way, rough hours and pretty much always working, but means your never spending money either. Have a few friends whove paid off all their debt and built savings this way.
