I just got my GED and am almost 19 and trying to figure out what to do with my life.?
Answer:
I can tell you right now, you are not going to get squat without at least an associates agree. You are not gonna do anything more than a menial job without an education. If you give up on school get used to this phrase "Do you want fries with that?" Or you can get into a entry job in manufacturing for about $8.00 an hour, maybe taking 10 or so years to be able to be making a comfortable living! GO BACK TO SCHOOL!
most community colleges have a counselor to help people figure out what to do. visit them, and they can help you. they will ask you questions and probably have you take some tests to determine your interests and aptitude. you have taken a big step in getting your GED.that means you are motivated and can achieve what you set out to do. good luck.
Don't stop there further your education. It is hard to find a job!! It is a little easier to find a career.
Hey you. Get back in college. There's always some way; it might have to be a college that you do not owe money to at first if you can't pay off the debt to the first one immediately. (Sounds bad, but I understand people in dire straits so ignore anyone who thumbs downs this answer for that remark.)
If you have a job, pay on your loan every month.
Enroll in a general education course till you decide on a major. Go for four years. Before a few quarters are up, I'm sure you'll have an idea how you do on schoolwork and you'll know what you really ought to do for a major. Best of luck.
Your local community college may offer some kind of career exploration course that you can take. It will be worth the money and count for credits should you decide to pursue an Associate degree in something. At 19, you have your whole life ahead of you to find what you are best at. That fast food job may not be great but you are meeting people, getting experience, and paying your bills. Don't look down on what you do. Real Estate is a good career choice but strive to be the best at it. Go talk to a Real Estate agent or agency and tell them you are not looking to be hired but rather interested in learning the pros and cons. You may find someone willing to mentor you.
Join the Navy! They have aptitude tests and will send you to a school along the lines of what you like and what they need. And when you get out, they'll help you pay for college.
who do you know? private contacts. any kind of school will help. The other option is to become an apprentice. find someone that does something you might be good at. Construction, tile laying, .
Real estate isn't a good place right now. It's easy to get into but hard to make a buck. You looked at school, go back and see what else they have.
Start down the path of life and see where it leads you.
while college can help esp in today's world you could run up huge loans,
