Is there any way to turn your life around if you're 21 years old and in Ontario Canada with no highschool diploma?

Im 20 in a few months user. I got a job in june and am studying. No high school certificate, but things will be okay :) dont stess

Some people are born smart. Many people who are smart get there not by being born smart but by reading and doing math. You may be smart or you may not be but the tried and true method to getting there takes only two steps. Read and do math. You must now become obsessed with these things. Take drugs if it helps you like adderall and modafinil but don't get hooked. You must instill in yourself the desire to do as Socrates and make acquiring knowledge be your purpose in life (at least for now). Then the money will fall in your lap. Don't give up user if you are posting on this underwater Himalayan basket weaving forum you are cooler in my book than the rest but you must work.

Yeah but there seems like many scams and I have no idea about this crypto shit

This doesn't really apply to Canada though. The GED is worthless here. You cant go to any University with it and no community college cares if you have it.

As for trades I dont understand how to find an apprenticeship it's impossible

Nothing is impossible with the internet. You have an entire world of information to surf and learn from. It's just a matter of spending quality time learning and doing nothing else. It's hard because with anything you learn you are basically monetarily useless until the first 1000 hours you spend so you must get over that hurdle. Try going to a library so you are forced to focus.

lol, well tell us what you've been doing since you dropped out

Also buy 0x

start a dog blowjob brothel...canadians love that stuff

you're literally me, where do you live op im in ontario as well

Aurora homie let's chill

True but if I get a job ill have no time to learn so I feel constantly cucked. There's simply not enough time in a day to get enough sleep, work, study and have leisure time.

Seriously get your GED, my NEET brother has been dragging his ass on this for years and not having it makes any changes very difficult.
I recommend looking to see if any security companies in your city are hiring the industry is pretty comfy right now.
I do all the same shit as my NEET brother but I get paid to do it.
Ottawa here! Looks like there's lots of leaves on Veeky Forums

>sleep
>leisure time
Why do you need these? Your leisure will become learning and making money at your work.

This ^___^

> There's simply not enough time in a day to get enough sleep, work, study and have leisure time.

You will never make it you lazy piece of shit

I dont understand the GED meme.

No University will accept you with a GED. Community colleges don't care about it either. And for jobs you can always lie and no one will check. So what purpose is a GED?

Look guys I know im a lazy faggot I agree with you but I simply dont understand how people have lives working fulltime.

If you work 40 hours (let alone more than that) how the fuck do you make time for the gym, self learning, other hobbies or really anything? Im a fucking NEET and I STILL dont have anywhere close to enough time to do everything, I have a wide open schedule and I still struggle. I can't imagine unironically slaving for 8 hours a day and still finding time for everything else. How do people do it? It makes my head spin and makes me feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.

When you have less time, you make better use of the time that you do have. I'm lazier as a neet than I was when I was working.

>you can always lie and no one will check.
Lying on your resume is an entirely different question.
If you don't want do to a GED and be honest I'd absolutely recommend lying.

Ontario user here.
>Go to an adult highschool. Finish degree Go on welfare if you have too; anything just get it done.
> Go to college, not University. Has lower debt and better job outputs. Almost all of my friends and I are going to college after our uni degrees.
> Put money into TFSA whenever you can.

Good luck user. Not even remotely too late for you.

I make 85k with a GED
i'm 23

and maybe a few credits from a community college

then again, i'm a self taught network engineer

but you can definitely do it man- Experience>paperwork

College.
I've been thinking of going into mech eng at algonquin, Worth it?

Well I just mean specifically for highschool. It feels like unless you join the military where they'd want your highschool and other educational transcripts no one will EVER doubt you're missing your HS unless you're literally illiterate. Which then defeats the purpose as it has no value.

Im missing many credits. Will adult highschool take forever? Why is college so good BTW I heard it was shit in terms of what you learn

How to gain this experience though?

lol. Your resume won't even make it to a hiring manager's desk if you don't have a degree for the vast majority of professional STEM jobs in the US. Some 24 year old "HR specialist" evaluates your resume against what they think the job requires, sees you don't have a degree, then throws it in the trash.

Kys retard

i know people are ageist here and think you gotta Zuckerberg or kys. its bullshit. 21 is still stupidly young. its the new 13 as far as i can tell with all these retarded kids running around knowing fuck all about reality.

get your high school diploma OR go into a trade. there is a global shortage of quality tradespeople and as a small or medium business owner you can make MILLIONS in a matter of years for laying cable or plumbing etc.

nothing is ever too late. but take the plunge and start tomorrow. start buy getting fit . walk or jog if you can and let that begin your motivation.

people who dont succeed in life are usually lazy, not dumb

ILC.org buddy

take any highschool grade 12 course online for 50$ each and finish within 7 weeks. take one at a time and get an A in the important ones (math and english especially). take the ones you need to get into a good program at a college/university.

if you dont know what you want get into yet, go for a transfer pathway program, like the Arts and Science university transfer program at Seneca. this allows you to do two years at Seneca and then two years at U of T/York for a degree and diploma.

do jordan petersons self authroing program to figure out what your ultimate goal is before going this way though.

tl;dr you don't need a highschool diploma to get into a univeristy/college program, you need the specific highschool prerequisites courses with a good mark, which can do through ilc.org

good luck buddy.

>Im a fucking NEET and I STILL dont have anywhere close to enough time to do everything, I have a wide open schedule and I still struggle. I can't imagine unironically slaving for 8 hours a day and still finding time for everything else.

Try not posting on Veeky Forums for 12 hours a day?

Do this you or die in the streets OP

isn't adult day school a better option if you're missing multiple credits? Ilc requires you to take the prerequisites which means if you're missing your U-stream courses you'll need to take like 3 or 4 English credits and 4 Math credits to get up to 12U... Apparently this isn't the same for Adult schools where there's no pre requisites.

truthfully i don't know. but i do know that adult school is defiantly more expensive then 50$ per course.

really depends on your situation.

ged? there are library books on the topics and such

$20 per course for the one in Richmond Hill. Supposedly has a fuckton of new immigrants who don't speak English and cause trouble though, which might not be a pleasant environment.

exactly...

But would eliminate the problem of needing to do 4 courses to get the one credit you really need...

Plus ilc is gay now you need to scan your drivers license and a citizenship document for every time you apply for a course.

Kek this

>Ontario

Just sign up for welfare, that cave troll dyke you elected will sort you out

Take literally any half decent program at Humber, I was in automation and half my friends got flown around the world to get trained for their Jobs, and they're not exactly super bright either, 60-70k starting salary easy.

I went to uni tho cause I'm a top cuck who wants a degree.

What the? I heard College was for people too stupid to go to University and that's why everyone laughs at them?

20 yr old Toronto fag here, YorkU as well, we're somewhat in the sameboat OP.

College has more dumb people than smart people, the curriculum is trivial but much more practical compared to a university.

Skilled trades are always in high demand, Humber is actually a very good polytechnical institute. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not as good because you went to college, most rich people I know only went to college and started their own businesses.

Minimum wage will be $15 next year.

High school idiots can make some money.

Dude, you lucked out, you live in Canada where education is free. You can get your high school diploma at an adult school, then a college one and start a good job without being 30,000$ in debt like in the US. Taking advantage of the Canadian system here, it prioritizes people like you and fucks over people like me.

if u post this shit one more time im gonna find you and rape you

Stay the fuck away from Engineering. I regret that shit all the time. It's a meme. Take up programing, accounting or a trade in college.

>Skilled meme
Lol if you ever find an apprenticeship

This depends on your parents income.
Americans have FAFSA though don't they?

>Lol if you ever find an apprenticeship

Not if you go for the more engineering centric programs, all my friends got jobs with only summer internships offered through the school.

To become a licensed tradesman you have to find an apprenticeship and work thousands of hours.

>turn your life around
>21

your life hasn't even started buddy

I probably shouldn't have mentioned skilled trades, but any sort of polytechnical or applied science background is in high demand and pays well straight after grad without needing an apprenticeship

I really don't know, whatever FAFSA Americans got is irrelevant because they end up in huge debt in average regardless.

Back when I was in college after asking the AFE here (fafsa for you) the govt gave me 4k $ for free and 4k $ loans, so make sure you sign up for it. Apparently if you do hard programs like STEM (like I did) you get more money in loans and grants. While if you do useless shit like social science you get half the money. I live in Quebec so maybe I'm getting some terms wrong but you should go do a Technical Program in college which lasts 3 years to learn a trade. Once you're done you can find a job anywhere.

Really go do adult school then do a college education, you're still very young don't get discouraged by the fact other people at your age are farther, just concentrate on yourself. As I said, you're really lucky to be in Canada, where the country will bleed working people like me so that rising people like you can have a better chance at making it up. Had you been elsewhere being in your position would've really sucked.

Not everyone is lucky to live in Quebec. It seems much harder in Ontario and for some of us such as myself my parents are angry and close to kicking me out which lowers my options even further.

As I said I don't know if it's like this in Ontario too but here the AFE will give you more money if you have bigger financial problems. If you're living alone and your income can't pay for all your rent, food, expenses, etc they will give much larger loans.

Personally my parents are poor so getting 8k really made me happy (A semester costs what, 180$?) plus I budgeted well so when I finished in 2 years my pure and applied science program I hadn't used any of my loan money (which had low interest rate and only activated after acquiring job anyway). Really making it up here is easy mode, the only true suffering you will feel is later on when the government takes 40+% of your money and drives you insane.

>$180 per semester
What the hell? Here it's 10x that for college.

Wtf did you go to a private college? Even the very good public colleges here are like 200$ max per semester. I personally paid 185$ for each semester. Some of my buddies went to anglo private colleges that costed 10k for 2 years so maybe that's what you're thinking about?

Oops meant "wtf are you thinking about private colleges?" I'm aware you didn't go to college at all.

Anyway the system in Quebec here really is beneficial for people like us. To universities whether you go to a top-notch private college or a poor public college it changes nothing, so there's no reason to go to the private colleges here except to find fellow rich twats.

Public colleges are like $3500/yr tuition in Ontario. The private colleges are scams usually for immigrants.

Yours are so cheap because you chimpout and burn cars for free tuition lol

>Yours are so cheap because you chimpout and burn cars for free tuition lol

lmao yeah, at least I know that's where all my tax money is going so I'm not that mad. In Ontario the income tax is also high as fuck like here, yet your education is still quite expensive by Canadian standards. Where the fuck is your tax money going?

I dont know man but let me into Quebec. I don't speak any French am I welcome?

>I don't speak any French am I welcome?

Most Quebecois would say no but there are several English colleges you can attend. Everything is much cheaper here. I was looking at the tuition costs across the province and found out that Ontario is the most expensive while Quebec is top 3 least expensive (while retaining quality). You can definitely come here there are many English neighborhoods and places like Westmount where you can feel right at home (these anglo fucks refuse to assimilate to quebec culture). In case you want to continue education and go to university it's really in your best interest.

P.s source for Ontario being the most expensive and Quebec being one of the cheapest

you don't need a highschool diploma if you're rich

>21
>turn life around
Your life hasn't even started yet.

Oh okay that's good. Quebec does seem like a very nice place overall but it's the language thing that kind of ruins it for me.

1. Define your top goals in clear specific measurable detail. A stranger should be able to objectively see if you have achieved them or not.

2. Break down your goals into milestones with a specific timeline.

Example: "I have 250k in assets by 2022."

Put your goals where you can see them every day and work on them every day no matter how you feel that day.
