Hey Sneaky,
I kinda know what its like... until recently i used to just take life as it comes... i went to college mainly because i couldnt be bothered to get a job, i hardly did any work got a few quals tho...
I have shit gcse's and im glad i went to college because now i have a fairly decent job because of it.
I used to be really really lazy but now that i have a job and experienced full day shifts and night shifts, the lazyness has decreased alot.
I could be wrong, but are you lazy?
You can only sort your self out... it helps alot if you have people such as friends/family to support you, but its mainly down to you.
if you have to work in a supermarket go for it... if its macdonalds go for it. A job is a job, you work and get money.
Right now you need money...
Do what ever it takes, it will be tough...
Good luck
