How do I fulfill this dream of mine?

Question

I've always been to leave my home-town where I've lived for 24 years (my whole life), to finally be free, independent & live my own life. I've not done much since leaving High School, except work part-time jobs in retail & I've had a few cleaning jobs too. However, I want more out of life & have been thinking about my skills & interests. After a lot of thinking, I've decided that I'm most happiest when I'm in & around water. So, I've been thinking...I would like to be a lifeguard, but not in a swimming pool like my sister. I want to be outdoors in the sunshine & fresh air & be a lifeguard on the beach. The only problem is, I live in the Highlands of Scotland where we don't exactly have many beaches & I've certainly never seen surfers here (another thing I would LOVE to do before I die one day, surf). Therefore, my dream is to one day move to the USA & begin a whole new life there as a lifeguard on the beautiful beaches!

I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.  I'm only a year older than you.  I want to go to school to further my education as well, but it's so expensive.  I love my job though.  I'm still working on finding my place of happiness though, at least career wise.  I have it in the love aspect.  I really wish you the  very very best of luck with this and I'm sure you will succeed.  Have fun while you're climbing the steps to your success.  :o)
