Find a job that you don't hate, sell things (including your bike), and work work work. Don't borrow money.
I'm in the same position as him but in Ireland its close to impossible to get a job, The majority of adults don't have jobs.
Have you got any tips for me?

If you have any friends or family members that're involved in businesses you'd be interested in working for, they could advocate for you. Spend a lot of time at your local shop, get to know your way around a bike and maybe they'll take you on, that's how I did it. Your fuel is already pretty rad man!

if you want to do something that will really help you out, you should find a bike shop that takes volunteers and learn the tips and tricks of becoming bike mechanic. Thats what i did and now im a full time bike mechanic and i own 3 bikes and get all parts at huge discounts!

Or even just hang around your LBS if they'll let you. You can learn a lot just in conversation and such.
