My mother is giving me the option to go to college or get kicked out. There are no trade/tech schools near me and she refuses to help me get into a trade. I don't want to go to college, so how can I support myself?
I went to a CC directly after HS and dicked around with random gen. eds. with no goals in mind. Grades suffered, dropped a bunch of courses, mom kicked me out of the home. Moved in with a best friend and worked a shitty min. wage job. Realized the life of a min. wage cuck is not the life for me so I saved money and bought a car+insurance and decided to go back to school, more motivated than ever.
Mom took me back with 1 rule, nothing lower than a B.
I'll be graduating with a 3.8 in Information systems + finance minor next year.

You get a job, you mong. Start applying right now before all the students get out of school and take all the summer opportunities. You'll get some piece of shit fast food or retail gig, but it'll pay your bills assuming you find a place with a couple of roommates.
Is your mom paying for college? If she is apply to a cc. And use the fall semester as extra time. When u fail just tell her it isnt for you. During the time your supposed to be in classes go find a job and work on finding roommates

Don't do this OP. It will only lead to arguments and you will just have to keep lying and doing things you dislike. It will make you unhappy, more unhappy than you would be if you actually went to college and tried.
Personally I think you should go to college if you have no other plans, but I can understand where you're coming from. If you're set on not going the obvious answer is getting a job. If you want to learn something by yourself in order to get a job in a particular field in the future tell her that and try to reason with her. It will probably not work but it's worth a try.
