Be the first to sue your public school for not offering you nutritious food during the years that you were enrolled there. You should make millions since it is run by the state.
Agreed (other than something like winning the lotto, of course). Owning your own business also would be a "job" in the more traditional sense you're thinking, as you'd be your own boss and could set your own hours. However, the responsibilities would be increased at least tenfold, as would the amount of effort you'd likely have to put in compared to that $8/hour position down at your local gas station (a position I have absolutely nothing against, mind you).
All in all, I'd say at the very least, pick up a part-time job to try and get a feel for the "real world," so to speak. Doing so will not only give you some spending money, but will also likely kick your brain into high-gear as to what you'd like to be doing instead.
Either that, or just start reading those entrepreneurial books voraciously. You likely aren't going to have a successful business without knowing a LOT about something, or a little about EVERYTHING.
Since you asked, here's my advice:
Grow the fvck up.
Suck it up and get a job.
Being an adult means being responsible for yourself (and whomever/whatever depends on you). It means doing things you don't want to do. Only then can you truly enjoy the things that you do want to do.
Or don't. I don't give a fvck.
edit: I'm not a bitter person, but your attitude really gets to me. I'm 35 years old, I've got a lovely wife, a secure job (which I moved halfway across the country to promote "within") and three spoiled-to-death-rotten-housecats. I've got a terrific (albiet small) family, and a few terrific close friends. I didn't get these things by posting on ATOT asking for advice. I worked my ass at working ****** jobs, learning my field, and doing whatever it took to get where I want to be.

You said you're 20 years old and you haven't been to school in 4 or 5 years. You dropped out of high school??
If you're asking what to do with your life, then my answer is very very simple: Get your diploma.

You need some motivation right? You cant complete school cuz you just cant associate school with money right? Its hard to see the big picture at that stage... Im in the same boat myself... Its easy to say "finish school and get a job" when your on the outside, but if it were you it wouldnt be so easy...
Its funny I also left school at 16 and i dont regret it one bit... and its not like im doomed or something... just waiting for the right thing at the right time.. But my situation is a bit different, since im not compelled by career or money or any of that... so you should have a better time at improving your situation than me
The problem is when you think "ok ill finish school, try to get a nice job, get out of my parents house and live a life of my own" but so what? What if that alone means nothing? There has to be some outside motivation going... Im a "do everything when i have a reason to" and "dont do anything when i dont" ... And most people cant help you because they cant understand how you think... People have this idea that because they are older than you and went through some of that stuff, that the same will apply to you etc, well its not that easy...
The way im getting out of this is by having an awesome girlfriend which keeps me wanting to live another day to see her again, and by developing my artist side, since im good at drawing and photography and such... maybe you could find a "hidden talent" you dont know you have yet?
Hope I said something useful...

Get a job doing construction of some sort. Lots of sunlight and hard work and good money. You will sleep at the end of the day, get in shape and be happier with your life in general. Then start thinking about the future again.
I am trying to be serious and offer some advice. But first, do you have a real sleeping disorder? Or are you just used to sleeping to noon everyday? If it isn't just intense laziness (or depression) on your part, get a GED and either join the military(I'm serious about this one, it will either force you to mature and grow up or force you to regress into even more of a lazy slob for which the military will eventually kick you out) or get a job and go to a local community college. You can take classes geared for skilled labor. Which I'm sure most people on here do not know much about, but an electrician, plumber, lineman, welder, meterman, etc all make pretty good money, especially those in the electrical trades.
All I can add to the thread is that the OP better be a parody of something or I see this ending up ugly.
Yeah you're right. I'm sure he'll be able to motivate himself sooner or later :roll:
Do you think it would hurt the guy to see some sand and camels? It would be a lot better for him than reading another post.
He's craving the feeling of being a worthwhile person who is doing something important. Winning the lottery and having a lot of money isn't going to make this guy happy. He needs to do something and go to bed exhausted and feeling satisfied at night. That will take care of any sleep disorders.
ahhahhhhaha hahahaha hahahah

oh man
hahahaah
Let me read that again.... hahahahahah hahaha
hahah
lol
Wait for your parents to pass away and get the money.

His sleeping disorder is because he wakes up at noon. I got the same disorder when summer rolled around in high school. I guarantee if he woke up at 6am every morning, his disorder would go away quickly. Maybe his parents make a lot of money off of their business and he can afford to be lazy??
Maybe you'll get lucky and find the real good ones.
Maybe we'll get lucky and you'll find the real bad ones.

How about going abroad to teach English?
You can help others and make a difference. You will get some sense of satisfaction and just feel better from helping others learn.
Doing sod all is going to do you NO GOOD AT ALL. You have to be pro-active and want to do things. Or at least DO THEM. If you do nothing you get no where. Winning the lottery is a one in a million and not likely to happen to any AT'ers lifetime and not even worth considering.
Chin up and good luck.

You're delusional, and there isn't much of a cure for you other than getting kicked out or making some radical change like moving away for college or joining the military.
Let me guess, "rock star," "professional poker player" and "porn star" are on the short list of careers that you've thrown around inside your head.
