I have never had a job in my life, apart from working for my grandparents on the weekend, doing yard work and helping fix houses and stuff. My mom has been paying for my college and an apartment for me for the past two years. She pays for my car insurance, cell phone, pretty much everything except my power bill, food (most of the time), gas for my car, and my internet.
In another two quarters I will be out of school. By this time, I want to be 100% self-sufficient. I want to have a job in graphic design (or something along those lines). I possibly want to move away from here. I know that I'll miss my family and that they'll miss me, but I believe that getting a fresh start will be good for me. I don't have very many friends here anyways.
Any advice for me? What are some steps I should take? (link)

I think that sounds like a brilliant idea. I hope your motives are sound though. Don't run away from family, you will need them more than you know at some point. You are young, and now is the time to see what's out there. You probably will need there help for a little while because even if you get a job immediately, there may be some amount of waiting period for health benefits, etc. to kick-in. Also, you will need to work long enough to build up the cash to pay your own bills. Be patient and humble with your family. They sound pretty awesome.

Thank you for the obviously sound advice! You made me re-evaluate my motives, and that was a very good idea. :)
