life help: Hey I’m 26 years old and I don’t have an education it’s been worrying me alot lately. - Help.com

it all depends on what you want to do.
sounds like you want to get a different job, that gives you more time…

if your plan is to get an education, get a student loan, go to college and enjoy your time to yourself, learn things you’ve always wanted to learn about…

or,

if you want a quick change of job,

i’d say get a realestate licence… it’s like 6 months, much shorter than college, you work for yourself, but you also work with people, you can use your licence to your advantage when making real estate investments… i don’t know how it is with the real estate market right now, but if you’re motivated, i’m pretty sure it’ll work. people still buy houses, right?

or if that doesn’t interest you,

take some time off to yourself ($’s not a limit, there’s nothing more important than finding out what you want to do with your life!) and think about a dream career, and just head on towards it!

Understand and respect what you did. My mother past to at a young age
i had someone like you in my life at that time to take care of me and i appreciated it every minute. so feel good about that im sure they feel the same way as i did.
with the work situation i dont really have any advice but to get another job ready.maybe start classes online west ga tech is cheap thats where i go.
hope for the best.

blahdebal is right, you can always take some evening courses, you can quite one of the jobs you work and continue your education, and you have to decide doing it really soon, maybe you will have to give up helping everyone for a while and they could takecare of themselves for a while… help with what you could but some times remember to take care of yourself and do what you love to…
Goodluck to you…

You were forced to be an adult before your time due to your situation as a kid who was unfortunately assigned a parental role, and all-in-all this is NOT ever fair or correct to have imposed on you. No wonder in your adult life are you so stressed. I would do it. I would go back to school at a state or community college taking out federal loans and financial aid and let other people in the school offices help you. I would take a sabbatical from your old family and just go to a higher power beside yourself, and lean on this higher power (I call this G**), and let yourself be a kid in the way you never knew because so far it has been robbed from you. Take some time to just get to know and learn about and nurture for yourself that inner child that you truly are that has been waiting her entire life to be cared for. And give G** the rest; all the anger, resent, rage and jealousy and self-sabotage. Take it from a person who knows your pain. Remember, though, that G** knows that pain better than anyone does on this earth, because The *lm*ghty intends to help you cure it, and you don’t ever have to kiss up to H** because he acknowledges you as H** baby anyway: flaws and all, and will help give you what you need even if you are mad at H** or not. G** alone has this awesome power of being able to take when you are mad at H**; in ways that many humans literally and physically cannot, unless G** says you or they are ready to handle certain things, yet needs come first for everybody, as we are all humans and it is just the human condition to have needs. You don’t have to be polite with H**, if this is going to keep you from H**, just work on being honest with H** for now, completely honest and G** will show you the rest. Take a risk and I hope you can trust H**.

This is not exactly advice. It is an invitation. I would like to start a small group project development and self education team for skills development and economic sustainability. Would you be interested in a continuing discussion? I believe you would be able to start a group yourself if you want. If so I would post some spacific things to keep in mind with email if you have one. It has taken me 30 years to figure out what I want to do. Nurturing sustainability, maintaining community up-keep, and economic stubility doesn’t seem to be what education is about for educators. So your not missing everything cus they are not offering it in my oppinion.

Hey, whatever, I’m thirty and I don’t have my education, and I actually find myself to be a pretty decent person. Hey, it doesn’t happen for everyone.
