Started about 2 years ago, initially....
Late 2013 I got out of the military, after I got out, I was in California for about 8 months on unemployment. During this time I applied fit hundreds of jobs and got nothing. I ended up moving back home and was there for 2 months before I found a job. It was a temp to hire job, but if was a good job with good pay. The job was moving chemicals for the oilfield. I was offered a permanent position, but I had decided to leave the job although I didn't want to. I left the job to go back to California to see my daughter and be there for her bday. I stayed for a month and left California again. As I mentioned,I did not want to leave the job but I hadn't seen my daughter in 5 moves and I had already missed the first year of her life due to being sent overseas....when I got back home I called my old manager at the chemical plant, but they were and still are on a hiring freeze. Since I moved backed home at the beginning of the year I've only found yt? Temp jobs that don't pay much. I don't have any skills and never continued my education while in the military. I joined when I was 20, I am now 30 years old, with no degree, no skills, my daughter is in California, so in the back of my mind I'm always sad anyway cuz I'm away from her. My car just got repossessed last week and the little crappy temp job I was doing is in a town almost 20 miles away. I think everyday if I would of never left my old job last year, by now, I'd have my own place and I would be well off..As far as being ok financially...but now, I literally have nothing |

Hey, I'm really sorry all this stuff is happening to you. I don't really know how to help, but I wanted you to know that I don't think you're worthless at all, and I'm sure your daughter doesn't, either.
Also, welcome to PC! I hope you find the help that you're looking for here. I find that venting here can really help my mood, personally, and these people seem to really care about one another. It's a pretty good group.

You've had some really bad breaks, but you aren't too old to go to school or start a career. What do you like to do? Start there, and maybe see about going to college in CA, or getting a job in that field in CA. Then you could be near your daughter.
