I'm prior service military and was the first of my friends to move out. A few years have passed, I'm back home with mommy and daddy which sucks, not making enough money so I'm enlisting again. Anyways I have this friend who is about to be 22 years old. He hasn't worked anything except a summer job since he was 17. He hasn't went to school or anything. All he does is sit around, watch bad TV shows, and goes to the gym and works out. He wants to be a body builder. He doesn't go out anywhere, doesn't wanna go anywhere, a huge homebody. Anyways, I made a blog on my myspace about why I was enlisting in the military again and how I believe anyone who is out of HS and not in college should be working full-time.
Anyways I'm just wondering, how old do you think someone needs to be before they pop their mommas you know what outta their mouth and grow up?

I'm in the military right now, so probably not the best judge of advice. However, I'll drop my 2 cents. If you're out of High School for over a year, not in college, and working a dead-end job you need to change something. Either go to college through loans, or join the service. If he wants to be a body builder, why doesn't he look into special ops for the Air Force? We're offering pretty decent sign on bonuses for Pararescuemen, SERE, and Combat Controllers.
*edited*: and for all of you who are saying "Who are you to tell someone how to live?" You'll realize it when you're older. It's his friend, and he doesn't want his friend to live a crap life, which is exactly where he's headed. I HATE society as much as the next person, I hate how we HAVE to go to school, get a nice career, have a wife, etc etc, but that's life. It's how it is. He will NOT be happy flipping bugers and living with mom for the rest of his life, neither will any of you.
