Theresa’s Answer

First, take some time to enjoy being young as this time goes by so fast (this is coming from a mother and a college professor). Don't be in a rush to have your life all figured out because it takes some time to grow up. Your brain won't be fully developed into an adult brain (with the thinking and emotions that come with this) until you are around 25. I say this because, if you decide what you want to be at 18, there is a high likelihood that you might change your mind as you grow and change. If you know exactly what you want to do, I say go for it. If you do not, I say enter the work force earning money, developing your communication skills, and a solid work history. Try things out and do the best that you can at whatever you do! With time, you will figure it out!

As others have suggested, I would strongly look into a trade school (barista, auto mechanic, hair stylist etc.). Programs where you can earn a skill and make a decent wage. You don't need a four year degree to be successful. In addition, you will have significantly less debt.

SAVE as much money as you can and try not to take out student loans and go heavily into debt.

Depending on the vocation you choose, make sure you take the right courses if needed. A college education is not a must for all. Trade schools and technical are excellent options for a lot of students and allow you a good paying career for less time involvement than tradition 4 year universities.

If you go the college route, take a PRN job in the field ( maybe reception or tech that doesn’t require licensure or much training ) to maintain your interest career-focused.

Get information from several programs , and take time to review before making your decision . The great thing about the medical field is there are so many options . Good luck!
