Anyone else started school at 33 years old? I hope I'm not alone....

It's hard pouring my heart out to Internet strangers.
But I feel I have no choice. I need some tough love

I kick myself for not listening to my mom about going to college right after high school.
If I could go back in time I would slap some sense into my younger self.
I'm still researching on what I want to do for the rest of my life. To give you a brief overview of what I've done. Been mostly dead end warehouse jobs and driver jobs.

I have a 21 month old son and want him to grow up good. Meaning I never want him to step into a homeless shelter with me. If that ever happens I would break down crying. I'm a grown ass man by the way.

It's embarrassing to apply to these warehouse jobs and other entry level jobs that lead to nowhere with high school graduates in the same room as me.

I've actually got a friend I'm talking to. He's training to be a electrician apprentice.

Also I just completed a semester part-time at the community college. Now I just signed up for the next semester that will be starting January 12, 2015. I like the aspect of community college but I hate the time it will take. To graduate from the community college then transferring my credits to a university. Is there something that can be done quicker which would lead to a more fulfilling high paying job?

I'm reallly looking for solid advice. I want to move away from warehouse jobs as soon as possible.

I do have varying interests in other fields, I like I.T. a lot. I've helped family and friends with computer issues. Every employer wants solid experience which I don't have. I don't have any certifications. I do like Accounting and also the prospects of being an electrician.

Damn! I wish I knew the ceo/owner of a company.

So I'm wondering if any of you have been into a similar position as myself and how did you overcome it? I'm listening......
