Kinda off topic but why exactly do you not see yourself as being able to work? You're relatively stable with the exception of some mood problems, it would be a good opportunity to get out of the house and meet people and give you experience for your future. Ticket to work is a great program it seems from what junkdna posts, I am going to try it once I'm settled in an apartment. Try not to limit yourself.
Back to the education thing, I know you're majoring in philosophy but is there anything else more practical you could see yourself getting a degree in? I think maybe because you don't see yourself ever working that's holding you back from exploring other options. You could always continue with philosophy and get a degree in it if you want but think in terms of job outlook, what's going to be in demand for a long time? Nurses, psychologists, etc I could go on and on, hope I didn't offend you just want to offer an opinion

i really just chose philosophy because its what i would probably be interested in. im not even really interested in anything else.
idk. i dont see myself as being able to work. i already know id also quit the job in 2 weeks. like i did my first one. ive only ever had 1 job when i was 17. quit it to finisg high school. i apparently dont stick with things.
im just really skeptical about the ticket to work thing.
i feel like part of my problem is my dads views on what i should do. a lot of you may not have a parent that your ideas are closely matched up and who you relate to so well and admire. but if you do maybe you see where my problem comes from. at least part of it anyway. :/
i know im an adult but when i ask to do stuff i cant do it sometimes. i asked to move out and i was told i would have to make more money to do that. so i have no choice but to get a job. but then my dad said i dont need to get a job. i just need to goto school.
in essence, he might be trying to keep me in 1 place (school) because he knows i jump from thing to thing.
im not limiting myself so much as im probably letting other people do that to me. but i wonder if my dads just trying to protect me from jumping from job to job and stuff, by saying i need to do school. cuz ive already jumped schools.
