In fact your not the only one with broken dreams, stop feeling sorry for yourself. I have a hard time getting a Job, and I am going to have to start my own business online making hand-forged tools, knifes, axes, and providing a gun repair service on top of that. These things will all be custom order optional. What I am trying to say is that one of my dreams is becoming a necessity. I suggest you write on top of a Job.
lolwut, gun repair? You can't get an FFL license until you're 21.
Is everyone this doubtful of themselves? I can become a wealthy black smith from disability benefit beginnings, with no education on how to be a black smith, and I don't even have a six pack or toned muscles. I've seen chubby old men blacksmith, if they can , I can too! I wish other people on this forum knew how do do stuff like make a forge out of chicken wire, patio bricks, kingston charcoal, a blower, and flexible duct work. Anything mechanical like that and I remember it like it was yesterday.
This doesn't change the fact that you go to jail if you do gun repair for other people and you don't have an FFL license.
I don't see how blacksmithing has any correlation to toned muscles or six packs, so I don't know why you brought that up. Also, you should probably also look into any permits you'd need for a forge. Speaking of disability money. I may be getting that. You still didn't like "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" blah blah if you do it with disability money. You still got help from others.
I "know how" to do lots of stuff. It's actually doing it that's the problem. Anyone can say they "know how" to do lots of things. Just read and tada, you know how. Now actually do it. That's why not everyone can do everything. I used to think I "knew how" to work on cars, as I read a bunch of stuff about it and understood it in my head. Not everything works out as well in your head as it does in real life. For example, my Supra's flywheel bolts are only accessible through the starter hole. I figured "hey this is easy, just take the bolts off" except it's more of a two person job and I didn't know that when I did it as the book didn't specifically state it, as the crank can't move. So my Supra ended up eating all my 12mm wrenches I had. Oops, now I have no 12mm wrenches, and I can't do anymore even if I wanted to. Try again later, I guess, but the "simple job" turned out hard as hell. It's s**t like this that makes my life complicated. Nothing is ever "haha, so easy!" All the details kill you.
I'm just saying, I was just as optimistic as you at 19 years old. Then reality hit me, and I found out everything is hard as hell.
