Garshne, you'll actually be glad once you have an income. You'll be able to have some of that independence you crave, while also keeping your dad happy.

Oh that sucks. Well I've done back surgery, in a back brace, recently had multiple seizures and might need more surgery. Think I could apply for disability until I'm good enough to work again?

Probably, worth a shot applying for social security disability.


I'll try. I live in Michigan. Do the rules change depending on the State?

As Social Security is a federal program, I imagine it is federally controlled and the rules are fairly linear. Medicaid has some control given to states - you should also apply for that if you haven't so you have access to medical care - since presumably you are considered in poverty as you have no job.


I get free care from University of Michigan. No way I can afford major spine surgery and a 6 day hospital stay. So I'm covered there

Maybe you should study abroad.

I know, right?

I hope she chokes to death.

It's only six jobs a fortnight, which is really easy to do - you just write a resume, go on a job website, click on six jobs you have no chance of getting and mail them your resume. It counts as an application and it takes about five seconds.

Also, they should be putting you in contact with a job search place that will help you find jobs you actually want and may even offer free training/skilling sessions in various areas if you want them. So definitely ask them about that.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Joker's right. Once you start working, you can save money. You want independence? Find some friends and get an apartment together. Go to school, get an education, and get your own place.

I get it, I was a wreck when I was younger, but it turns out I was hell of a lot more capable than I though I was.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

While I do all the housework that my dad can't do because he's too old now despite me having the upper body strength of a ten year old girl?

You: Take out the trash

Dad: A roof over your head, food, electricity, gas, water, internet connection, etc.

It is obvious to everyone else who is coming out ahead in this deal.
I like the part where he complains that he can't do work b/c he's a weakling whilst ignoring that doing the work would solve the problem of being a weakling.

But like I said, I want to do it on my terms, and not my father's or Centrelink's.

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

It's generic advice but it is as simple as manning up and doing what you want for a change. If you fail in life, you'll at least have the pride that you did it by yourself :D

Sounds like it's a little too late for that. If you'd taken the initiative and grabbed a job as soon as you got out of school, that would have been on 'your terms.' Now that you've already started getting nagged, it will never feel quite as satisfying as it might have. I was in the same boat with my father out of high school.

Swallow your pride, mate. It really is the most rational way forward. Get a job, write a thousand words a day, and someday you'll be able to look back and laugh at the whole thing.

  • 12.10.2012 9:54 AM PDT

So why doesn't OP just get a job?

I understand, I really do. However, the less income you have, the less you get to set the terms. It's a -blam!- fact of life.

Having wasted a few years of my life in -blam!- retail, I suggest you get an education in something that you can make a career out of.

Oh Garshne, stop -blam!-ing.

I have been looking for a job since 2008, and had one single call back.

Do I get paid for not having a job? No.
Do I get paid to sit on my ass? No.


So for applying to 10 jobs every 2 weeks, you are getting money. What kind of bull -blam!- is that? I get absolutely nothing from the government. I didn't even get financial aid when I enrolled in college. I get nothing at all.

So you are going to stand up to your dad and demand he continue to pay for you to do whatever you want? That could backfire as easily as him saying "No". Your dad wants the exact same thing you want, for you to be capable of taking care of yourself without his help. Both your problems are solved by you earning an income you can live on. You have two options. Get a job that pays well enough you can move out (part time probably won't cut it), or go to school and get that piece of paper that gives you real earning power. It seems to me your father has offered you your two best choices already, just pick one and do it.

Wat? Have you applied for like 5 jobs in the past 4 years? this doesn't make sense.


I've applied to a lot more than 5 jobs. I've applied to a lot. A few places more than once.

I think I've applied to Bestbuy 5 or 6 times alone. No one in my area is hiring. Even Wal Mart isn't hiring.

tell your dad to slow the -blam!- down and listen for once, tell him what you god damn want and stop venting on a internet forum. DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN -blam!- COMPLAINING.

Damn Australia sure does do a lot for their bums huh.

How about you do the program. You don't have to do anything except apply for 10 jobs. Sounds like the easiest thing in the world. And even that is exploiting the system if you're not planning on actually getting the job.

What county? I feel like you're more of an inland empire guy. I'd certainly suggest moving, even inside CA.
