I didn't make it to college, but wish that I did. The job i have now is a good one..... they gave me 3 years of tech schooling ( and paid my wages while I went). BUT I still wish I would have thought it out first and found something that I WANTED to do, instead of doing something that was "available". Now I feel kinda stuck, BUT with only 7 more years before I can retire with full benefits... I really don't want to go on a different path now!!!
Both of my kids chose further education after high school...... one in Culinary Arts and the other in medical....... very different but both make pretty decent $$$$.
I have heard that Radiology tech is a good profession that you can expand on....... CT, Mammography, MRI, etc.... and it pays pretty well, too ( 2 year degree).
Hope this ain't too much "babble" ...... glad to see that you are making plans!!!
