    Good luck!


  2. Gardening or landscaping lets you do both - work outside and be creative.

    If you don't want to go to school, try and get a job as an assistant to a gardener, landscaper or exterior decorator.

    If you want to go to school and your grades are good enough, some schools will pay your tuition and give grants or scholarships, which you don't have to pay back.

  3. what about student loans???? thats how like 99% of all ppl get through school.

  4. How about a hair dresser!

  5. I'm in school to become an anesthesiologist and me nor my parents are going to ever to be able to afford it. The miracle of the student loan is what will pay for you to become a dentist. You don't start paying it back until you are out of school, and if you become a dentist, you will easily pay it back.

  6. If you like to work outside there are many types of jobs you can do that also offer great pay. The two best are an environmental scientist or a marine biologist.

    To get financial aid here's what you need to do:

    1)  Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:

    http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

    2)  Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don't need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

    3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

    http://www.studentfinancedomain.com/stud...

    You can also try to get a grant or scholarship, which are both free money sources that you can use to pay for school, and you don't have to pay them back. You can read about grants here:

    Here are sites that offer grants:

  7. u could be some sort of engineer

  8. You and me both, brother!

  9. An architect?

  10. I would like to be anything but what I am. I make good money but I sit in a little room on a computer answering question when I am completely bored. I wish someone would trade me Jobs.

  11. You might consider taking a class at a community college that helps you explore your options.

  12. Think about the things you like. Because if you have to work for basically the rest of you life, you might as well do something you love. If you like kids, try being a teacher. If you like to read/write, think about a career as a author. I you like to eat, think about being a food critic. There are tons of things you can be. Just open you eyes and mind. Hope this helps.

  13. Become a mime.

  14. Apprenticeship is always good.  Occupations/Careers like Plumbers offer that type of program to enlist people to work for them.  Electricians, HVAC/Refrigeration, LawnCare are all good choices that can pay well, if you work hard at it.

    Some colleges will do accessment tests for you to see what your "natural" inclinations lay.  By finding out where your strong points are, you can be directed toward a career that will use your natural skills and give you a comfortable level of living.  They can also help you with FINANCING!

    I wish someone would have advised me to that.  I didn't find out until I was 46 that I was  "natural" to be in the medical field, but by then, my finances were tied up with debt, divorce, and part time work.  Please be smart and take this bull by the horns and follow your dream with substinance!
