As the title says I messed up massively. I’m going through the court process, I’m still in high school and I can’t help but to feel like a dumbass. I’ve started and tried atleast 10 different businesses, went all in on Daytrading, worked 10+ jobs and I feel burntout. Not really understanding the point of being here, I know that’s brutal but life sucks rn not being able to drive and being trapped in the crib. What advice would you give me if I was your son? What are some good opportunities I could take advantage of? For context I’m a white dude from the east coast, United States.
-thanks

Hi I’m a highschool senior that has tried many, many things and (sadly) was inspired by Andrew Tate.

So a little about me, I was the first born on both sides, first out of all my cousins etc. I’m a white male that grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood, my parents were messed up w drugs etc and I was basically raised in the hood. Fast forward 10 years and my dad lands a crazy paying graphic design job and we move to the rich, white suburbs. From there I had a great childhood up until 16, but man life was good until shit got real lol.

I grew up in the slums and suddenly my environment changed. I would go over to friends’ houses and I couldn’t even believe they made houses of that size. I wanted to be rich. So after letting my mental develop, I started a vending machine company at 14. I also started investing, right around the time GameStop stock was popping off. I made too much money for a 14 y/o too handle and it completely fucked my perception of money to this day. At this same time Andrew Tate started popping up and I was getting into online money, I also had a job where I worked 20-30 hours a week. My dad ended up losing his graphic design job when I was about 16 so that’s when I really had to step it up. Keep in mind I have probably also worked Atleast 10 different jobs

Since then I have done and tried the following, in order with some being minor successes or just outright failures:
- Vending machines(sold)
- T shirt company(failed)
- Options Trading 2020-2022(made a lot, then slowly lost it)
- A branded men’s clothing dropshipping store (failed)
- Multiple YouTube channels in entertainment, finance(all failed)
- Crypto( Made a fuck ton but stopped)
- A barber delivery app (couldn’t find producers/ test ads failed miserably)
- Reselling(20k+)
- Gig apps(too slow)
- detailing business( wasn’t for me)
- Multiple chef jobs(not really for me)
- An ai voice receptionist company w office( failed/test ads failed/cold called 10k+ companies) biggest failure to date
-Day trading futures 2024-now ( I’m profitable but it doesn’t feel consistent and sometimes if I have a really bad trading day it dictates my day)
- Diet supplement company(failed/got banned on TikTok shop but got a small amount of sales)

Maybe business isn’t for me but idk man I’m so burnt out, I graduate in a few weeks and I have some clarity: I know I don’t want to go to college for white collar jobs that can get replaced by ai. So pretty much I’ve narrowed it down to going into electrical work, hopefully getting into the union. The other option would be going into the medical field and becoming a nurse. I also got a dui not to long ago after my last failure… I fucked up really bad. I just need some advice
