Ok so it finally happened and my parents gave me a couple months to pack my stuff and get out. I've been a NEET for the past 4 years after failing to get a degree in college. I'm 26, no degree or employment history and while I do own a car, I have no other pluses to get by.

What can I do to prevent being a hobo? They already said I have until August to find accommodations. I would like some advice on how to survive or get some job. I mean, what do I even put on my resume or how do I even work on one?

actually homelessness is not that bad, if it's temporary. you can still find shelters/churches to sleep in. use showers at truck stops or get a gym membership.
>>
>>29238046
I have a 2 month headstart man, I also have a little dog I adopted last Christmas from a shelter and she needs to be provided for so I'd rather keep her. I am lucky enough that they didn't just kick me out but they also made it very clear that they won't ever take me back in, that they did what they had to as parents and now it's up to me to get through life.

I am hoping some anons who've made it through could give me some tips. I am particularly scared about the whole job hunting as a jobless, degreelesss 26 year old thing particularly. I also live in California which is tough since most cheap jobs are taken by Mexicans so I might need to move.

Ask literally everyone you know if they know anybody who needs help. Ask them to ask around. Go in to shops and ask, show your face around town. You will probably be more likely to get a job at a small place where you'll be hired personally rather than just being entered into a computer but try that as well I guess.

lucky dubs.

do you have a vehicle? two months isn't a lot of time to find a job and a place to live. it's doable if yoj get off 4chan and start working at it NOW.

I have no friends. I actually left my home country 6 years ago and tried college here. I went from an international student to a resident and now I'm a citizen so perhaps I can apply for welfare but here's the thing: I have no contacts besides my family and they all live outside of this country or just want nothing to do with me.

>Go in to shops and ask, show your face around town. You will probably be more likely to get a job at a small place where you'll be hired personally rather than just being entered into a computer but try that as well I guess.
What kind of shops would take anyone in with no experience? Also, bear in mind I won't have a physical address to give out so I'm worried about that. In fact I have no idea how I'll get an apartment with no credit history and no guarantor.

>do you have a vehicle?
Yes, I have a car.

How do I start working at it? I am not sure what I am qualified to do and I'm too weak for manual labor probably.

just join the army. they'll teach you everything you need to know, you might not like being bossed around, but you can always just fake it.

Are you physically capable? Join the military. All it takes is 4 years of keeping your head down and then you're neetbux'd for life. You just have to do it right.

I have a bad leg because I was ran over by a car when I was 9. I can walk and sometimes jog for a bit but I'm semi crippled.
>>
>>29238503
Try to join without them finding that out. Then you can say you fucked it up from basic training/AIT. Or even that "Oh yeah, I forgot it was kind of hurt before. But the military made it worse!"

Get that spicy disability

They don't check medical records? I've been on painkillers on and off all my life.

>>29238329

honestly, like others are saying, the military might not be so bad. fuck the army though, they dont let you roll up your sleeves ever. hot as satans cock? fuck you. working on somethingbwith your hands? fuck you.

I question their summary of their child raising history.
>>
>>29238564
They might, but they don't necessarily before you sign up. Just say "no" to anything about medical conditions at the recruiter and MEPS.
>>29238582
Army is easy as fuck. If you're doing any kind of work outside you just take off your jacket.

just lie. don't bring it up.

>no skills, no options.
Well, I am bilingual and know some very basic programming. I helped a friend make a silly 2D flash game once but that's as far as my expertise works.

Are there any jobs I could get with these skills? I'd rather not go to the army because on top of being sort of crippled, I am a weakling with self esteem and confidence issues.
>>
>>29238721
Truck driver
Fueler
Supply clerk
CBRNE clerk

Virtually anybody can get any of these jobs
>>
>>29238564
I don't think so I hear that people lie about childhood ailments like asthma to get in. but if they find out you get kicked out.

what nationality btw?

>>29238839
I was born in Spain but I lived a good portion of my life in Mexico/Italy. I came to the US when I was 20.

Military is best decision, if you are smart Air Force, if you are tough the Marines, if you're a pussy retard the Army, if you're a pussy but not a retard the Navy
>>

>>29237987
Forgot to mention

In the military you will be provided a free place to live, free food, AND they pay you on top of that. You also hr the benefits of military discounts, a GI bill if you decide to return to college or if you have children who want to go to college (yes, FREE college).

And finally, women love a man in uniform.

If you stop being a bitch for like the next 6 months of your life, you can literally have a great life just by joining the military

Why just 6 months? Also, can't the government just deploy me randomly if I join any of those institutions?

Just kill your parents and then yourself, simple
>>
>>29238564
They only look into your records ONLY IF YOU BRING IT UP, but if it's noticeable or in plain sight, it's next to impossible to hide it and if they find out in basic training after MEPS oks you, then thats fraudulent enlistment and give you a dishonorable discharge which is perment and fucks up your employment chances so if it's something as stupid as a scar, don't bring it up because it's unnecessary

Print off a few resumes, add some fake stuff, it doesn't matter they'll never know. At least 20 resumes a day, and go to every store and business. I know a friend who just immigrated here and he had a job within weeks.

What is that? Seems like a school.

they do GED services for some people
but they also will help you get a job if you need one, or get you in a job with a union

you have to be low income but you are eligible for that seeing as you have no income.

>looking up GPA

Are you working for Intel, Goldman Sachs, or the government? No you aren't. You're looking for something like warehouse stocking, or 7-Eleven cashier. They only check if your name and phone number are on the resume.

Also put on a lot of volunteering. They can and will never check that out. Put your parents as references, and give them fake names too.
