So, I wanted to start this off by saying I am not trying to make you feel bad for me.

I have a hair disease called Alopecia. I was tormented about it and had a bad childhood where I was yelled at with drunk parents which kept me up almost every single night. I was teased and harassed all the time in school and never thought I would find a girlfriend. I finally did and dated her over a year. We had a beautiful daughter. She cheated on me many times after that and I got full custody of my daughter. I wanted to make my daughters life better so I decided to pursue college because everyone always told me that was the way to success. I was working during the time doing 1-3 jobs and going to college. I got my Associates, Bachelors, and in two months I will have my Masters. None of these have gotten me any sort of advancement or helped me in any way. They put me over 150,000 USD in debt and I got screwd over by a company making false promises which put me close to 200,000. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Severe Depression and Anxiety. I am not getting any money from the government because I want to make something out of myself and provide a good future for my daughter. We developed a card game but I don't have the funds to bring it to life.

I don't know what to do. I make about 12.-14 an hour and live in PA when rent alone is 2,000 for almost all places. How do you afford any other bills when you do not make it a month? I have applied to over 150 jobs (overqualified) was response.

What would you do?

Hi T,  Can I ask what are your degrees in?

Associates Hospitality Travel and Tourism

Bachelor's of Small business management/entrepreneurship

Masters of Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing

Hey T, Have you considered consulting small business start-ups on your own.  Small Businesses are opening up almost every day and may not have the funds to hire a large firm, but may be able to to get a la carte services with you.  Possibly the beginning of your own consulting company.  Look up into sign up with a chamber of commerce or other organizations that bring small businesses together in your area.  This could be something you do on the side, who know what it may grow into.
