seriously need to support myself.. advice plz

[noob with an RS 10+ year member]

i was working for my pops smogging cars. he owns a smog machine and a garage. i live under his roof. we got in a real loud violent argument because i complain that theres never anything to eat at home and the money i make at work goes mostly toward school, gas, and a debt i have with my brother.. also, he doesnt pay me full salary.. so i dont have enough to feed myself. he basically fired me and told me to leave the house cuz i had the nerve to complain. im not gonna come bac crawling to him. he might be my dad, but there are just some things i dont respect about him. i want to get myself on my own feet so that i can move out and feed myself. im still under the roof right now, cuz quite frankly, i have nowhere to go, but im fed up and want to leave ASAP. im tired of his "deal with it or leave my house" attitude... im seriously thinking about jumping str8 into starting my own business and saying "fuc school". im turning 22 in two weeks and am highly considering selling cars as my first venture. i figure it would be good for me since i like working with cars and id like to buy cars cheap from auctions.. sounds like good profit margins.. the thing is i have absolutely no money, but am willing to work my *** off paying debts and what not.. someone PLEASE tell me what to do.. especially you older guys that have done well for yourself.. im in critical need of advice.. thanks in advance.

finish school. Get a real job. Move out of your parent's house. You're going to be 22 and still living at home working for crap pay for your dad Who on earth does that?

Get 2 jobs to start out with, just so you can get the money to move out, thats your first move.

If you wanna sell cars get a job at a dealership doing that get some good experience watch the managers and owners how they run things and what you would do different...

Also, finish school it's always something to fall back on. Parents can be dicks sometimes, but there is really nothing you can do about it.

Don't just jump into a business just cuz you're mad, if ya dont have the capital, plan, motivation etc. You will end up in an even worse situation that you are now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. Get a job, do some thinking and go from there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

but the hunger is my motivation.. getting an auto dealer's license (which is around 200 dollars of schooling) then getting loans from the bank to buy cheap cars is my plan.. but how much capital would be needed to start selling cars? i dont plan to open up a whole lot.. i heard you can rent out just TWO parking spaces.. and that cant cost too much can it..? id say about 200 dollars a month would be my guesstimate.. doesnt that sound like a cheap business to start? all i would be basically doing is getting a license to sell cars.. the key thing is being able to buy them cheap from auctions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.. and hondas sell like crazy over here in cali especially if the motor is good and its pretty clean. is my theory flawed?

Follow your dreams OR hire out on the railroad. Starts at like 50k and can make up to 100k. High school diploma and no felonys is the only req.

It's a very romantic idea, I'll grant you.

Getting loans in any real amount at 22 yrs old with no credit and no collateral is gonna be nearly impossible, I would imagine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Good point!

Im guessing yes. Check out CSX, a friend of mine just got a job there as something helping trains park into their places or whatever, then ine 4 months or some shit he moves up to being a conductor. Railrocker is correct, all you need is a high school diploma. My friend is in Atlanta getting trained right now, then he goes to philly for something else.

that was my exact train of thought.. so i guess my next step would be to establish credit? im going to deposit 200 dollars into my bank to start a secured credit card.

If you are really that desperate you shouldnt really be worried about traveling. Anyway, he will be working in the Baltimore, DC, VA area. Not traveling. But whats wrong with traveling? You get expirience, life expiriences, meet people and stuff, and maybe youll learn more about what you really want to do. Think wider than just traveling for the job.
