mY LIFE IS OVER?
my family and i just moved to bakersfield, ca....i absolutely HATE it here....it's a freaking desert... my senior year in high school sucked cuz i was new in school, didn't know anyone. grades fell drastically. now, i'm currently working at walmart...part time....i would have gone to school but there's no good college here...and right now, i don't think i would be able to handle school... what the heck do i do next ? i desperately need a different job, cuz walmart definitely sucks balls...and i have no desire to go to college right now... i want a career in art tho.....fashion design and merchandising, specifically. i'm very good at art....i do have an eye for fashion.....specifically haute couture. i did take fashion merchandising classes at R.O.C. last year but i can't even get an internship cuz i'm not in college, so that sucks... wanted to move to los angeles, to go to FIDM there, but it's too expensive... what do i do ?

Ok, i know this isn't going to sound great, but take on more hours at walmart. get going fulltime, save your money. rejoice that you have a job, there are MANY out there in the US who dont have and can't find (for whatever reasons) a good steady job, even at such a place as walmart (which DOES definitely suck balls). take that money you've saved and either buy a vehicle to travel to a good school (they're not that few and far between in CA) or look online at schools you can attend right on your comp. also, locally there are always places to go to get your criminial justice, nursing, or accounting certifications. so there ARE options. like i said, consider yourself luck you have a job, a starting point to jump off from.

apply to colleges, because a career in art or fashion design and merchandising will not come looking for you. apply for financial aid, see if walmart offers any help with that. by the way, COLLEGE IS REALLY FUN!! It's hard work but it's also a great time. Just give it a try, at least a 2 year school and I bet you'll like it. There are plenty of colleges in California. If you really hate Bakersfield, you are old enough to go out and find an apartment in the area where you moved from, maybe with an old friend from your old school. You are young, you have lots of options, don't say your life is over!!! Its just beginning.

I hate to tell you this but, your going to have to bite the bullet and go to a college in Bakersfield, just work through it and get into the Internship that you really want, I know it sucks balls but that is your only way out Think of it this way, your life isn't over, Its just begun, It will be okay, if people can work their way out of the ghetto, you can work your way out of Bakersfield, you just have to want it bad enough If you put your mind to it you can do anything, you just have to not give up,

At this point, your life is your own and will be what you make of it. If you don't want to go to college, you'd better get used to Wal-Mart. You can study what you want, live where you want, be what you want. Life is your responsibility and yours alone. By the way, your life is just beginning. A life ending is, for instance, someone with a fatal illness.
