I'm in the minority here of my generation but I'm 19 and I really would like to get out of my house. Due to some complications with my family it's just my mom and I now and we'll be moving into an apartment soon. I'd like to get out so I can learn about machining and electronics without being told to "stop bringing garbage into my house". Unfortuantly I 1) don't have enough time for a full time job since I'm wasting away my better years and credit in college, and 2) none of my friends want to move out or will be allowed to move out by their parents. Finding a room mate will be tough. I'm going to try... but it'll still be tough. This is extra worse because of how high the rent is here in NJ (even in Paterson, Franklin Lakes, and Newerk where I go to school).
