Well guys im 20 and I went to college for a semester but had to stop going due to work and not having enough time to actually apply myself. I never even knew what I was gonna major in and my whole my ass hole dads told me what I was gonna be or do. I\tdo actually like growing plants and agriculture but if I was gonna go into that field I'd want it to be involved in the medical marijuana industry. Medical marijuana isn't legal in my state though but I am an activist, and I honestly have a passion and love for the plant as im sure most of you do. I just honestly wanna find the one thing im good at an so far its been growing weed but I don't like the fact that I've done it illegally. I really don't know guys I've tried everything possible to find a career that I'd like but I just can't seem to come up with anything. I've mentioned the medical marijuana biz to my mom multiple times but she just ask me if im crazy. My dad would flip shit and call me every name in the book for a drug user if I even mentioned the idea. So guys is there any advice you blades can give me? I just feel lost at the moment.
No clue man... Sorry though, sounds rough. If you really want to work on being an Activist, I've heard that working for NORML is pretty good money and I'm sure they have more discreet jobs, like telemarketers or online workers for their website. I'm not sure how many offices and jobs they have available, I just know (personally) some big people in that company in a state and region where Marijuana is in fact illegal. Either way, good luck finding what you need.
If you really like agriculture go for it, you can make some money. It will be a few years to get through, and eventually I feel as though marijuana laws will loosen. If not you have a good skill/certificate which can provide elsewhere. Do what you really want and love, and it will work out for you. EDIT: Could also go out of state and move. Become a medical patient.

"Well guys im 20 and I went to college for a semester but had to stop going due to work and not having enough time to actually apply myself." I work over 40 hours a week and still go to school. I only take 1-2 classes per semester, but it's something and better than nothing. Go back to school, man. Maybe... move to a medical state and look for a job. Ideally, find something at least somewhat related to agriculture. A farm, nursery, landscaping, etc. I don't know much about that field and how hard it is to find work like that. But if that doesn't work out, personally I'd look for a factory. I've been working in production for a few years, and generally speaking the pay is pretty good. Once you've got a good job and are settled in, find the local community college and start taking classes part time. And lastly, become a legal MMJ patient if possible. I think you can still get hired as say a trimmer or janitor in a dispensary, but I don't think you can expect to get too far in that business without being a legal patient.

By the time I've gotten home, fixed super, taken a shower and done homework I had to be in bed or I'd be dead the next day. I would have liked to work less but with driving a v8 that much the gas was pretty much eating up my whole paycheck.
hmm, sounds about like what i do. work 3-11pm, hour drive each way. home by midnight, do dishes, go to bed. wake up around 8am, drive to school for 9am classes. come home, cook dinner/lunch, make food for work, do schoolwork. oh, i go to the gym 3-4 days a week too. this semester is a bit more relaxed though, because i'm taking online classes.
