Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (11 May 2009): I don't understand the part about your dad paying 2 million towards your higher studies. First of all, education doesn't cost that much in the world I am from.
Second of all, if he has that kind of dough, he can set you up in your own place, easy.
Ok, all that aside. Average in studies eh? So does that mean you are not cut out for college? And if you are in college, why not go and live on campus?
If you are not a college kid, you know what you can do? Cruise ship jobs offer room and board and are great for saving money, they are also nearly year round.. Same for national park jobs (only they are seasonal), and any job that offers its employees lodging. That goes for resorts, and the like down in Florida too.
You can try.. to find a girl with her own place and move in with her. Not the best thing to bank your hopes on, but if you happen to fall into it, why not.
Also, there is always the military.
If you are fed up with your living situation, but not yet ready to spread your wings completely (Living with compensating parents can cause dependency and mental crutches, whether you are aware of/acknowledging them or not), then those are your outs.
