Redditors who didn't really try in high school and just floated by... what are you doing now?

High school: I literally wouldt do my homework, copy off of everyone's tests, 3 weeks before finals I'd kick it into gear usually raising my F's to D's or C's. I was a dick to my dad, he always pushed me, disciplined me. So I moved out, and in with my mother who let me do what ever I want. So I coasted through High school like this.

Year 1 after HS: went to MEPS for the Air Force, I had scored one of the higher scores to where I could pick any position. Well I wanted to be a fire fighter, at MEPS I found out I was color blind(I can see colors, just can't pass those tests with bubbles, with hidden numbers..) being color blind eliminated almost all positions.. I backed out choose to go to JUCO. I then reverted back to my high school days and dropped out.

Year 2 and 3: I started working at Safeway, Worked my ass off for the worst boss ever. Literally took advantage of everyone. After 700 hours worked you get a raise, he'd have me work night crew once I got close to that mark he'd pull me and make me go dairy, and then I'd have to start working towards 700 hours again, to only be pulled once I get close to that number. Did this for 2 years only receiving a yearly raise..

Year 4: I finally found a job that loved me and I loved back, made me motivated to keep the ball moving went in for an interview for Schwans. Manager made this job out to be god like, at 21 I was sold. Left my favorite job for a joke of a job, I lasted 3 months. Moved on to be a debt collector. Wasn't a terrible job just never sat well.

Year 5: since I didt like calling people and harassing them I found a job that would pay me the same but I'm a warehouse. Another miserable job, football season rolled around(I make 10-20k a football season) so I said fuck it I'm calling in every Sunday. I got fired shortly after. So for 3 months I lived on CC...

Year 6: started selling cars, to this day this has been my best paying job 60-70k a year I've had. Can't say I hated it, but I hated not having time off. My coworkers became family. I started sleeping with the lady's that came to buy cars. I started smoking, was eating terrible food, just wasn't living a healthy life. So I moved in with my gf.

Year 7: I'm now no longer selling cars, and working at Best Buy making 10$ an hour... my GF couldt forgive me for cheating on her while selling cars. Leads to problems I get arrested and kicked out. My uncle allows me to move In with him. I start doing construction for my best friends family's company. Working 16 hour days at 15$ an hour lead to frustration, I got fired and our friendship was destroyed. My uncle hires me for his company this was going good. He then hired a new employee who couldt do his job correctly, this led to problems. I get fired and a damaged relationship with my uncle.

Year 8: I move back in with my GF, Best Buy wouldt rehire me despite me leading the whole district in sales. So I got a job as a server, they loved me so they were going to make me an assistant manager. Until they found out I had slept with a couple of the servers. I found another job as a server where I make around 55k a year. I really like this job but I know it's not a career and I get embarrassed when people ask me what do you do?

Since graduating high school I've had 12 different jobs, I have a problem with my arrogance always getting in my way. I feel like I'm owed something, so I prove that by usually sleeping with woman, or completely destroying other co workers in sales numbers. It sucks because I acknowledge these things but I can't stop it...

I've amassed 40k in credit card debt, I now have the number down to 10k. I make close to 55k a year from my job, I make another 10-20k with football gambling, I make 5-10k with stocks. I've been out of HIGH SCHOOL for 9 years now.
