i don’t have my life planned out and i feel so behind
i’m 16, i’m a child, i don’t need to be stressing over my adulthood yet here i am. i need to make a steady income now so i can save up to move away from my abusive family asap. i need to be able to keep having a steady income and have a back up job because i currently work for my abusive family’s business. i need to also save up to buy or rent a commercial space to run a restaurant out of, preferably when i’m still in my early 20s(my dream job which i’ll probably never actually achieve). i could do that with a high school education and extra courses to get a culinary lives, but my school offers a culinary program that i can earn my ServSafe in and it doesn’t say out front how much it costs and some courses/tests cost money while some are mostly free, but i could also get it myself for $150 dollars, which is a good portion of my paycheck. not to mention i don’t have my license and can’t get driving hours because my shit parents always scream until i dissociate and i’ve almost crashed a car multiple times before because of it. because i’m online, i can’t take drivers ed at school, and i’m always the last person to hear important information. i found out yesterday i have less than a week to try to figure out if i want to take the extra course, if it’s worth it, if i’ll qualify, and convince my parents to apply for me(because as a minor, i can’t legally apply myself, create the account necessary to submit the application, see the cost of tuition/ textbooks exams/certification tests, etc, or view the application sheet) the website for the course has no information on any other classes it provides, no listed requirements, no examples of course work, nothing. just that i can earn experience and certifications that would cost hundreds alone and would take just a few months to complete instead of a mystery cost and takes two whole years. idk what to do. idk if i gave the grades. idk if applying would be a mistake. idk if i’d just be adding another financial burden to my family. help. please. i’m lost and i don’t know what to do
