<prompt> Human: My mom has been telling me that when I turn 18 I have to leave because she wont be receiving child support anymore. I am turning 17 in a couple days and currently finishing my sophomore year of high school. I have a little money saved for college I am planning on going into a trade I have to watch a younger sibling this summer but she wants me to get a job still. I have a car so thats a plus. How would you prepare for this situation?  <response>: Id say go to your school for resources, even if its as simple as Counselors giving advice. For the most part, teachers and staff care about students futurewell being so they are there to help.You say you plan on going into a trade, is there any sort of way you can get a job that sort of prepares you? If you wanna go into IT, find a IT help desk job. Find a job at an oil change shop or something if you wanna be a car mechanic, etc.Start saving your money. By the time you move out, not sure how expensive your area is, but try to have enough money to last a few months if you lose your jobsource of income.
