Just got kicked out of the police academy and I'm completely lost

I'm a 26-year-old guy from Constantine, Algeria, and honestly I don't know what to do with my life anymore.

​

I'm a simple person. I don't want anything crazy — I just want to improve myself, build a stable life, and move forward. But every time I make a plan or try to achieve something, something completely unexpected happens and ruins it.

​

For example, my first big dream was becoming a doctor. On my very first day of high school, I was called to the principal's office. He told me he received an urgent letter from the ministry saying my academic stream had been changed from scientific to literature. That was it — the path I was aiming for was gone.

​

Another example: I tried joining the Marines. I submitted my application file, and somehow they lost it.

​

I could list at least 10 other situations where I tried to do something, put in effort, and then an unpredictable outside factor appeared and destroyed the whole thing.

​

Despite all that, I never complained. I kept trying.

Recently, after a long and difficult process, I finally managed to get accepted into the police. I was extremely happy. I went to Annaba, started training at the police academy, and for once everything seemed to be going right. The instructors were great, my squad mates were respectful and clean (which you really appreciate when you live with 10 people in one room), and I genuinely thought my life was finally moving forward.

​

My plan was simple: work as a policeman for a few years, save money, then start a business.

Unfortunately, it happened again.

​

There is a thing in the police called an administrative investigation تحقيق اداري. They check your family background — things like criminal connections, terrorism links, smuggling, جدور مغربية او فرنسية

​

I never expected mine to come back negative. My grandparents were mujahideen, my mother's side of the family is mostly military, and my father's side all workes for the state and I have clean records. A close relative by marriage is even responsible for the entire security in Constantine.

But somehow, I got a negative result. I don't have the right to know the reason, and I can't appeal the decision.

أصلا تحقيق اداري تع الولاية كان مضيف تع الدايرة لي جا سلبي

I just like that I found myself outside without a job

​

Right now, I'm honestly lost. After so many years of trying, I feel like I have no control over my own life anymore. Even my faith has been shaken because I don't understand why every path I choose gets blocked.

​

I'm considering getting a TS degree in mechanical maintenance or HSE and trying to find factory work, maybe eventually leaving the country, but I feel like I'll be too old by then and I don't know if I'm wasting more years.

​

I genuinely don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone has advice or has been through something similar, I'm listening.

​

PS: Please don't reply with "it's just mektoub" or religious advice. I've heard that a lot already and it doesn't help me right now. Also please don't tell me to illegally migrate — if it was that simple, I would've already done it.
