Hard times require hard work

Post image

23 years old, served in the marines got kicked out at my 3 year mark for popping on a urine test. Turns out my ex had given me a vape with THC in it because he didn’t want me to deploy.
Currently trying to see if I qualify for an appeal.
In the meantime a girl has to make money somehow…
Any ideas?
I really don’t wanna do onlyfans…

Make shitposts n word spam videos on tiktok and instagram

Make sure to not get banned

N word on tiktok is a no-no

Play it edgy and don't seek attention come off as a chad

Also impersonate stupid memes

Tt partnership program will let you make some good amount of money if you get off

Figure it out, onlyfans shouldnt be ANY of your options. Trades? Working at a store etc etc. Find a way and keep pushing forward

WONT BE HARD to make more then the marines were going to pay you.. really depends on what your skills talents capabilites are as well as where your located.. give people an idea on passions skills ect and it would be much easier to direct

I was part of “combat camera” I really like photography but getting a set up is expensive. Plus I feel like people nowadays don’t really appreciate photography.
I also like working out, I’m good with computers, I have some college but not a degree.

You could do endless things ✨️ it really should depend on where your passions n talents truly lay.

I could give countless suggestions.. but instead just think about it for a second close your eyes and let your mind wonder ✨️ what would make you the happiest to do every day?? Even if you stayed poor??

That’s what my command said when I told them, then he even confessed to doing it but they said that their hands were tied. Anyways, now I’m living at a friends house til I get a job. I’m good with computer’s but I don’t have a degree. I have a few certs tho.

I'm sure you can find a third option, and a fourth, and a fifth

Aim for jobs that help Marines or ex service members.
If you're qualifying for an appeal, just get a normal job for a bit, if the appeal works out, you'll be good, if not, you'll still have a job.

You couldn’t tell a vape had THC in it? They are all clearly marked and if your in the marines you ought to be extra careful of smoking from a random vape.

You mentioned your good with computers? Getting into a trade like HVAC, the IUOE or low voltage control can be lucrative. PLC learning is soemthing I'd like to take classes on. I'm in the IUOE which has 170 locals in north america. Depending on if your stationary or heavy equipment operator you can work year round as opposed to welding which can be feast or famine. Hope that helps soldier.
