But is it enough to get you through life? I mean right now I'm sure it's fine since you have your dad but wouldn't you like to be able to live more easily when the time comes you'll be on your own. To me that's the purpose of school to get you to a better paying job, however there are a lot of things other than traditional college that can be done. My dad for example is a millwright....skilled trades like that make good money with just a couple of years of schooling.

I guess my point is....can you live your day to day life happily on disability with no other finanicial support or is it worth taking steps to start working or go to school with the intent of working.
