Flipping burgers for eight hours a day will drain the energy you could use for something much better. People use so much energy on writing applications. You could use that energy to think about what to do for yourself. What you love - make it your job. To make a businessplan. Try get into soup kitchens (They always work if you got a spot where many people walk around). You dont need much material to get a shop going. Like 5 - 10000 bucks you need to get the cashmachine going. Everything is better than to make someone else your boss and yourself a slave.
And never ever say ‘i cant do that its too hard’. Everyone can do that. Even the smallest fish in the pawn.
