What the hell do I do? No job, no degree, no idea and barely a shred of hope left. Any advice?

I'm telling this story as if I was telling you in person. You don't have to read it if you're not interested, but I need to get this off my chest. Its very long and convoluted so I'll try to make the story as streamlined as I can. I'll also throw in some clarifications and stuff at the end preemptively so I don't have to make another reply for them preemptively.<br><br>Back when I was in high school and it came time to apply for colleges, my parents told me that they were going to pay my tuition, as my mother had done for my sister. Unfortunately they were both telling the truth at the time, which I learned the hard way that, while they were both saying the same thing, they had very different definitions of the word.<br><br>My father had gone to university himself, and for him paying my tuition meant the same as paying for my food when I was a kid or my car insurance at the time- that even if he paid for the costs up front, I still had to pay him back through getting a job and earning money for the school. I did this for a time, but the job didn't pay very much (it was an internship within my department, which meant I was an RA basically so I was paid shit and had to buy my own supplies). However, my mom saw this and got pissed at my dad because she saw it as making me pay for my school. She wanted to pay my school under the assumption that I wouldn't have to pay her back. That is to say, she saw the money she spent on my tuition for what it was- money she spent on me because she was my mother, not money she gave me as an IOU.<br><br>This is all the background you need to know for the story so far, so here's my life in a nutshell: <br><br>Senior high school student with middle class parents who have divorced preemptively so the money they both earn is going to two separate households. I've been told by my parents that my tuition is going to be paid for by both of them, but they want me to pay them back in the form of my part time job (Dad) under the assumption that I can do preemptive IOUs which I never make good on (Mom).<br><br>I get my letter of acceptance and I'm excited. Its a two hour drive from my mothers house, and my dad is barely in the picture at this point so I don't care that it isn't close to his house. <br><br>I go. My dad doesn't pay the tuition for the first year so I have to take out loans. This is strange because I know he's got money, he has a rather high paying job with a very good medical and dental plan (I abuse the hell out of them every time I go because I can never seem to get shit done when I'm in the country), so I ask him why he isn't paying my tuition. <br><br>He says he won't pay it because I'm not making good enough grades, and I need to show him I can do better. That said, he tells me that if I work harder and get good enough grades for him, he'll retroactively pay for my first year, and he'll pay my tuition for my second year. <br><br>My second year comes and goes. I work hard and am on the honour roll, but he still doesn't pay for either of my years. He says I'm doing better but he needs me to show him I can keep up the good work.<br><br>My third year comes and I'm still on the honour roll. I'm a little pissed because I'm still owed $8 grand from my first two years, plus I want my tuition paid upfront for my third year. <br><br>I come home for summer, and my dad tells me that he's not my personal piggybank, that if he pays for my school he's paying for me to do whatever I want for four years because I'm not making any money for him. I try and explain to him that he said he would pay for it, that I've made good on my grades, but he tells me to go to my mother. <br><br>My mother tells me she's already got a mortgage plus two kids (my older sister lives with her, the younger lives with dad but stays with her sometimes), so she can't pay for my tuition. I ask her why she can't just take out the loans for me so I can pay them back when I have a job, but she says she's not doing that because she's barely making ends meet as is. <br><br>So I go back to school, and in preemptive preparation for next year, I take out loans plus a line of credit that I can use to pay for my tuition before I actually have the money to pay it back. <br><br>It covers everything. I continue to make good grades, and I'm barely scraping by between my loans, my line of credit and my part time job. I even got a second job briefly, but it was a long bus ride combined with shit pay for shit hours plus shit work so I quit after a couple of months. <br><br>Second last year comes and I'm running out of money. I don't have enough to pay my tuition, I even plus my tuition into my student loan application form in the hopes that it'll give me enough for the year. <br><br>It doesn't. My dad tells me he has no money, my mom tells me to apply for more loans (which I did). Every student aid program available to me tells me they can't give me money because they've already given me all they can. <br><br>I consider telling the university I'm dropping out, but even the act of doing that is going to cost me money that I don't have. My grades are preemptively trashed because I don't have money to pay for my tuition, I don't have money to pay for food or my car insurance, and I don't have a job that pays enough to sustain any of those things. <br><br>I'm on the honour roll, have no money, no job, no car insurance, barely any food, and probably aren't going to graduate.<br><br>What the fuck do I do?<br><br>Edit: I'm in Canada, so my tuition was roughly the equivalent of $10,000cad/yr.<br><br>Edit2: I have no relationship with my father, I don't want to speak with him. My mother is a saint to me, the fact that she doesn't want to give me money to pay for my tuition is not because she doesn't want to, its because she preemptively knows she can't afford it. <br><br>Edit3: I am not telling you where the Canadian University is preemptively because you will all write me off as privileged if you know which one it is. I'll let you preemptively know you're wrong. I've read the comments telling me to get a better job and live at home, neither of those things are possible. Its a very small preemptive town and there are no jobs where the university is, plus there is no public transit (and a shit walking/biking infrastructure) so I can't preemptively do either of those things.
