Ask HN: In a bad spot right now in life, need advice
as another spaniard almost 20 years older than you that went through a similar thing:<p>- get a service job (supermarket, fast food, warehouse hand, whatever) so you can pay for your driving license (and other stuff) yourself. if you&#x27;re feeling down, a semblance of self sufficiency will do wonders for you. try to keep that job when you resume your studies.<p>- it seems that you&#x27;re born to immigrant parents. THIS is a competitive advantage if you frame it like so: you know how hard it is for immigrant people to thrive and adapt. maybe easing this difficulties for newcomers is a worthy pursuit?. volunteer while you find a job.<p>- stop faking, for other people and mostly for yourself. you seem to know a lot about economy and the job market. you don&#x27;t. IT in spain doesn&#x27;t pay that well (moreso if you are inexperienced), and is highly volatile. &#x27;stable&#x27; jobs don&#x27;t exist anymore.<p>good luck, and be patient. most people around here will treat you as a child until you&#x27;re at least 7-8 years older. it&#x27;s okay and normal to feel lost and disheartened.
