You can't upgrade your skills enough in the Orlando area to be

Damn - they closed all the colleges, all the trade schools,
night schools, etc ? They don't allow you to buy books and study them
? Amazon won't sell to people in your neighborhood ? UPS won't
deliver there ?

No, but what Orlando really wants is a bunch of coolies to slave
away for them at the lowest pay. They don't care about skills for 90
percent of the entry level jobs here.

Then, even *you* are qualified.

Remeber all the coolies next time you go to Disney. And don't be
rude to the waitstaff unless you like the taste of bodily fluids.

Perhaps if you got a job as a waiter, you could move up to restaurant
manager some day. My brother-in-law started his career as a high
school student working at the Burger Chef at Tyson's Corner. When he
graduated from high school, he worked his way up to Assistant
Manager. When he was 20, he moved to Miami, Florida, and got a job
as an assistant manager at a McDonalds. Worked his way up to
Manager. Went to McDonald's Hamburger U. in Chicago. Became a
regional manager. Worked 70 hour weeks for 10 years, then got a
chance to buy three distressed McDonalds franchise stores in Alabama.
Bought them, renovated and revamped them with his own sweat - learned
how to repair commercial HVAC systems among other things - and spent
the last 15 years paying off the loans on the stores. Recently bought
an office building and a strip mall. He never went to college, he got
NO family money, and he started out flipping burgers. Now he is a
multi-millionaire. And he's just 52.

I do my own laundry, usually wash my own dishes.

Great. Two more jobs you're qualified for.

If my parents are fine with me
living at home, rotting away, how is that any of your concern?

The question isn't whether your parents are fine with it, or whether
anyone in reeky is fine with it. The question is whether you're fine
with rotting away, and whether your excuses for why you are rotting
away are accurate.

You've got a great many people here who were NOT born with silver
spoons in their mouths, who were NOT handed anything in their lives,
giving you the benefit of a great deal of potentially useful advice,
and you seem to prefer defending the situation that you are in and
continuing to list "reasons" why the the situation is everybody's
fault but your own.

Even the people who are the most understanding appear to be getting
tired of it. Hopefully, for your sake, your folks will never tire of
it.
