Hi there, I went back to college in Canada at 25 for software development, equivalent to a community college in the US.
I'm about to fail a course and not get a co-op that will give me valuable work experience. I have two semesters left basically. Even if I finish this diploma program, I'll be worthless in the eyes of employers as I am now. I went back to college to pursue programming and still want to go into this field but it is not working out as of now. I didn't want to work at my previous job anymore but at least I had the title of being employed. Now, I'm at my parents place for life, and I'll be that 30 year old creep who lives with his parents and is a failure. I have a sister 7 years older than me but I don't consider her family anymore, the rest of my family is far apart and older and not close to me and I speak to them once a year, if that. My parents will soon have major issues as they are nearing their 60s and have started having different kinds of pain so they won't be around much longer. I have a place to stay and live I guess but I'm not on my own and don't have my life together and don't know when that will be but now I need it to happen.
Basically, I'm dealing with all of this right now, still have the support of my parent but there'll come a time where they'll be gone and I'll still be alone and depressed with no close family around. I just hate failing, being lazy, and not being productive every day. I regret a lot of things but I regret making life mistakes and not dealing with my depression earlier as I feel like it has taken me over completely.
Thanks in advance.
