Well this is probably the millionth post like this you’ve seen but i’m not sure where else to go. I’m about to turn 19 and have no idea where to go. (Yes ik i’m young and have a lot of time to figure it out) My dad gave me a time frame of 1 year after high school to go into college, well it’s been a year and i still don’t know what to do. I work at a restaurant where i average about $21-$25 an hour. I have pretty much no interest in anything besides music, (I write my own songs and perform locally) and while yes i can try to pursue music, it is best to have a plan first and then do that on the side in hopes that it takes off.
I have really bad diagnosed scoliosis so the military and most heavy lifting trades are already a no. The college i have in my area is pretty bad, everyone i know personally has dropped out from lack of education, and the online reviews are terrible. I do have a pretty good trade school in my area that specializes in Aviation and Electrical. my brother just graduated from his Aviation/power plant course and is certified, just waiting on a job now. He recommends that i go into that but i am not at all interested in engineering work/electrical work on any kinds of vehicles.
Radiology and Physical Therapy had mildly interested me for a bit, they both pay well and sound like decent jobs to do. But the courses themselves are very in depth and demanding. Given that my college here is known for the professors having no communication and bad teachings, i feel that i’d be left to teach myself these courses with youtube and stuff and that actually sounds like a nightmare.
Sorry for the long rant but yeah main point was that i’m really not sure what to do for a career and i really want to be able to at least enjoy my work a little bit. Feel free to ask any questions and i am open to any advice. Thank you
