Look into local trade type schools. Build your skills towards what you wish to become.
I'd also suggest you look into the military, depending on your age and your physical ability. Consider the AF or Navy, if you are capable and they can guide you down a path that will get you into a good, well paying field in the future. Of course that depends on the situation with your back ... but if possible, that's a great option often overlooked by younger folks.
Also look into the medical field. Finding an administrative job in health isn't difficult and does offer many opportunities to work your way up.
I could actually do that. I can get an administrative job working in a hospital. I'm currently going to school for Business Administration. I'll have my AA at the end of the semester and then in two years I'll have my bachelor's
Put an effort into it and it is a path that can lead to more authority, better pay as you work your way up.
Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck. And so much of luck is really a matter of drive and attitude. If you don't like the first place you jump onboard, search for something better until you find your niche.
I will. Thanks . I'm definitely going to consider Hospital Administrative work. I actually had some people suggest this to me a long time ago
I've actually been going the AA then BA route as well. Starting at a community college really helps to get the core classes out of the way without having to do the rather intimidating lecture hall with 100 other students kinds of core classes at big universities.
Oh yeah definitely. My is a state college and it has bachelor degrees. So I'm lucky and get mine at a low price
I think of AF as the most into tech & physical comforts, the Marines the most physically challenging. At the risk of stating the obvious, the military does have a habit of getting its members maimed and killed as well as making them maim and kill, for corporate profits. This does very bad things to the psyche and soul. Defending ones country is one thing, but the US has 2 huge oceans and peaceful relations with its 2 neighbors, albeit a newsworthy southern border. How exactly does it really use its huge military?
I'm a ten year AF vet and though I moved on after ten to get a better paying gig with a military contractor, I enjoyed the hell outta the start they gave me. Anyway, I was a drifting twenty something year old and really found my place in the world via the AF. Met my wife there, had my kids on their dime, and was trained in a career I would've never imagined possible as a poor country boy growing up. My point was that there's opportunity there ... opportunity many can't get in other ways, and it's not all blood and guts ...
