Incoming junior in college. I want to gain financial independence but I dont really know where to start? I don't know where to find a job or how to sustain and I am just very scared in general about balancing a job and academic life. Does anyone have any sort of advice or help they are willing to give? im 17 and need to gain financial independence but im not really sure where to start. I have no knowledge in this and need to gain it before I start college in the fall (i was in a community college before) I am unable to live at home when I reach 18 becvause of a situation and need help. submitted by /u/Iamdogwater [link] [comments]
