I'm honestly fucked.

you thought I was gonna share.

It seems like all of the career advice out there on the internet leads to this :
"If you don't go to Harvard or an Ivy League school and have a 4.0 GPA - Kill yourself".
I am a math person with moderate grades (overall GPA 2.7) with a bunch of Cs in math classes. I'm screwed.
I'm just gonna die at home from overdosing on drugs because I can't even find a goddamned job since no one wants to hire a fucking retard without a 4.0 from Harvard or Yale.

But the internet has no fucking idea what it's talking about.
you simply CANNOT predict your future.
I never even went to college. Never had the chance. And I never technically finished High School either...left after my 16th birthday cuz I couldn't take the abuse from other students anymore (nobody gave a shit about bullying in the pre-Colombine years...you we're literally told to "just deal with it, it's part of life"...which also sadly, is kind of true to a small degree). But I did get my GED (Good Enough Diploma!)
And now I work as an electrician, fully licensed, carry numerous certifications, live in a spacious apartment, have a good, reliable vehicle, and can afford more than enough food to stuff down my mouth. All on my own, and aside from student loans for trade school, I have no debt.
Do I make a ton of money? no...I still need to commissions to make sure I got gas money to go see my sweety in Michigan for the holiday, but such is life.
My point is, everyone I grew up with thought I was a bum. Figured I'd have been dead in a gutter years ago....now I make just as much, if not more money than alot of those guys.
Yeah...I had to fight for every inch of ground I've gained, and it wasn't easy....still isn't, and probably never will be....but my point is just relax, take a deep breath, and just keep doing the best you can. Your a good guy, your gonna be fine. Just probably not gonna fall in your lap though, and thats okay. Never give up
That's my experience in a nutshell :O/
I hope you are fine, take care
