My parents are worthless trash that drained all my funds before I was 16. I left home (was barely there to begin with) then, worked since then and have had five assorted jobs, two degrees, two federal certifications and a contract that opened up my next hospital contract. I've supported myself with work, ingenuity and career development for going on four years, and made more than most people my age will make in the next five years of their life, all while securing further education and job opportunities.
