Question Posted Wednesday January 19 2011, 6:49 pm
Due to my own lack of trying, I was dismissed from college before I could begin my second semester. I failed four classes and boy was my father was upset, and with good reason too, of course.
He told me to find a new job or else I'd have no car, no phone, or Internet, all essential things for me, or I could join the guards and retain that. Not an option for me. So I found a new job, and I now hold down two.
But then, today, he said that if I don't work full time, which is impossible with two jobs, that I will be walking to work, which is also impossible as both places are miles away, and it is Winter.

If not, look for a place that will. I know, hard to do but not impossible. Let dad know you are doing this and keep him updated.
I know it isn't what you want to do. BUT, you are looking at losing a lot if you don't.
