Excuse me? He IS making excuses for himself. He didn't finish school, he's sponging off of his parents and he has no job history, not even a couple of federal workstudy positions that would have taunt him decent work ethics. Then he comes on this thread, acting as if people are supposed to sympathize with him when he squandered his opportunities.

When I was growing up, I had parents who gave me whatever I wanted or needed. Even if they didn't have it right away, they would have it later on. But there comes a time in life when you have to go out and see how the real world works.

That's something my grandmother told me.

So now I found a new job working on a contract from the city, and I passed my teacher certification exam. I had to struggle, and fight, and do whatever I can to make a name for myself.

I've seen your posts on this board and you are DELUSIONAL. You're defending someone who had every opportunity to make something of himself but instead he just acted as if things are supposed to be handed on him on a platter. People gave him advice so let's see if he really follows up on it.

Just because you have a job doesn't mean you're a productive member of society.

WHAT. JUST WHAT?

When you have a job, you pay taxes, you make a name for yourself and you're able to tell your kids everything you've learned while growing up, that way they can learn from you and not make any mistakes you made while growing up. Working does make you a productive member of society.

Like I said, delusional.

You know what you should stop doing? Whining on the internet. Get a job - any job - and move out into the crappiest little room with 6 roommates you can find and see what real life is all about. This is harsh, but the best predictor for future behavior is recent history - and your recent history indicates a man living at home in his 50s.
