What do you do when you're 21?
I'm 21 years old male. I'm living with my parent. I'm currently a college student with a part time job. My family is a middle class family, of course we all working trying to pay off the house and maintain a living.
I am thinking to get a full time job at the same time going to school, but i feel like its going to take all of my time. I probably have no time to enjoy life and hangout with friends or even get a girlfriend, but at the same time i don't want my parent to work for their whole life paying bills. I'm not here to complain my situation or anything i just need a suggestion or idea from people

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for here, but among my friends and family, you are the norm, not the exception. It's just basic fact that most good parents want their kids getting a college degree, and they're more than willing to support them during this time. Heck, you're doing more than I did with your part time job. I went away to college and only had to work during summers.
Anyway, the point of all this is when you go to college, you're not just aiming for YOUR dream. You're achieving your parents' dream, too. As long as you're happy with what you're contributing (whether chores or money) and as long as you feel you have balance in your life (studies, socializing, job) then this sounds ideal to me, not something to second guess.

Concentrate on finishing school and earning your degree. There will be time to worry about helping your parents out afterwards.

maybe your parents can rent rooms to make money so they dont have to work so hard
