I get that this has been posted here several times but i still need to find a way to rebuild my life and need guidance. Basically i wasted my early 20s in college, which lead me nowhere after graduation. Now i’m 24. I work at a dead end job, feeling hopeless and miserable. Lost contact with my old friends, physique has weakened too dramatically. 5 years is not that much of a difference but i’m looking for help.
What should i do? What would you have done?

I would become a Merchant Marine.
Immediately start looking for positions with a higher salary and room to grow.
Start making as many connections as possible with anyone who can be helpful with your career. Maintain relationships as much as possible with anyone who can help your career. Networking is more important than anything. Like the kids say, its not what you know, it’s who you know. This is where I failed big time.
