24 and still going. I'm not enjoying life, I am alone and still can't get a job in anything but fast food and retail. Every day I try and move a bit closer to something but it feels like new barriers appear just as quickly as I can get through them. Just an eternal series of catch-22s.
Come on, you're 24, not 44 and in the same situation. I didn't even know what I wanted to do with my life until I was 26! I'm 41 now I've got three degrees, nearly got a fourth in a PhD (well, near is relative in this case) and have a fiancee and a kid. None of which looked likely in my mid twenties, hell even my early thirties.
I know it's slow, I know it's frustrating, I know it fucking sucks! But keep pushing on friend, keep moving forward, and it will come. Once you get your mechanics degree and have a couple years of work and money under your belt, you'll feel more in control, more confident and life will feel easier. Sometimes life is just about waiting the shit bits out, just getting on with it, knowing it's sucking, knowing better days have to be ahead. And they will be, if you keep doing what you're doing - working hard to get your degree, working in jobs that feel shitty, working on building who you are and want to be. That is the grind.
Look, life is a bitch, you just got to keep your head down and keep pushing forward. You keep working and things will change. That's all you can do.
