Career Options

[kalishakti]

You are 19, but want a meaningful, high-paying job with benefits, where you can work from home. I think ALL 19 year olds want that, but honestly, that's a lot to ask.

You want the golden ring, but haven't put in the work to be able to reach it. A degree is just not enough to get you where you want to go.

Thanks for the replies! I appreciate the feedback and I do understand my goals/requirements are ambitious. I am trying to explore careers or industries where I can get certifications and additional experience that will meet my requirements.

I absolutely understand the need to prove a track record. I’m just finding it to be a bit of adjustment moving from environments where track records were measured by credits earned, test scores, grades, performance statistics (my current pay is heavily determined by my performance on the client’s metrics) rather than by sheer amounts of time. I understand it, it’s just a whole new world for me.

Maybe I would do well in sales. I like the idea and the challenge of being paid commissions and having that opportunity to push my earnings higher, prove myself through my numbers, and use my soft skills to my advantage.

I am actually 22, I was 19 at the time I got my AA.

I feel for you though, and think it's wonderful that you're willing to help. You sound like a good person.

Thank you! I love my family with all my heart and want to get out of the high-crime, high-tax, natural disaster-prone area where we currently have our permanent residence and live full-time where we are safe and happy.

I am also looking into alternative ways to access medical plans such as group insurance through a professional association or faith-based sharing programs, if anyone has any experience with either.
