I do not have my license because when I was 17 and just finished drivers ed I was expelled from school for a year. Instead of waiting a year to return to school I just got my GED. My parents were so mad at me for the longest time that I was expelled that I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere or get a car. So I went to GED classes and worked at a subway and then I enrolled in college and quit my job. This is what I have been doing since I was 18 that and working for my parents cleaning, doing paper work, organizing files (the own their own welding company.)

I HATE not having a license they told me as soon as I get my license they would buy me a decent car. I am running out of time I am going to graduate and then I am transferring to a college an hour away. The college I go to now is 10 minutes away if I really wanted to I could walk so rides were never an issue. There is one problem my parents are already paying thousands for college, they don’t wanna pay 300 for drivers ed. I could get 300 by saving up and babysitting and doing my parents dirty work at their business.

Do I sound like a looser I mean at least in the long run I will have a high paying career in the medical field (radiology).

I wanna get a job but no car means no rides no rides means no job. Furthermore, this year I have to finish up classes which will consume my life, and do volunteer at a hospital for the program I want to get into. So between school and volunteering I will have NO TIME.

Sometimes I hear people go oh they are just a 21 year old KID. Then other times I hear omg they are 21 and don’t have their life together their an adult blah blah. Like I probably look about 18 and NOBODY treats me like an adult unless they want something from me lol.

It can be so frustrating. Do you think I am a looser for what I don’t have or a winner for what I have?

Plan 1: Stay close to home, study at Baylor Medical college and get my nursing license or my degree in radiology. For that plan I’ll be either a X-ray technician or a general RN and work at one of the local hospitals or somewhere in Plano.
Plan 2: Get my teaching degree at whatever college I choose. I’ve been offered scholarships for three schools, USC, U of Michigan and then at U of Austin here in Texas. I’ve been offered tours of Harvard, which leads to plan 3.
Plan 3: Take up the offer on Harvard and study at the medical center there for cancer research and/or become a doctor.
Plan 4: New York. Go to NYU and get my teaching degree or whatever I decide to do. I havent yet decided since I have alot of options..
Plan 5: Skip college and travel Europe.
Plan 6: Go to work at my moms Real Estate company in AR. She makes great money and so does my dad, so money for all these plans isn’t an issue.

Any of these sound good?

But which one do YOU think sounds the best? Or sounds the most.. Productive.

Are there any other jobs in that field that if I have to go to college for 7 or 8 years that the pay will be closer to 100K? I have looked at Physical Therapy, Radiology Technician, and am going to look into Pharmacy. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

ive been repairing and diagnosing vehicles since i was about 14.

unfortuanetly i think i might have done something to my back

it started as a stiffness and now has progressed to constant pain and swelling in my back. i am still working because i love what i do and leaving my job or doing something else really isnt an option for me as i have taken all my certifications and come way too far in this field.

its hard to describe the pain or the exact location. i know for a fact its not a muscle because i can feel it in my spine. im constantly trying to crack my back or stretch it to get any kind of relief but it is only temporary or makes it worse… its not exactly lower back. but its not in the middle either. just alittle lower than the middle of my back.

my only problem is that i do not currently have health insurance. so an mri is kinda out of the question atleast for about 3 more months until my health insurance is back.

unfortuanetly this pain is awful and is constantly making my days harder. it seems to be getting worse with time.

sleep is a constant struggle as i wake up many times a night to either get up and stretch or to change positions.

the pain first started about a year or so ago. doctor originally thought it was a muscle. gave me every muscle relaxer he could think of. physical therapy also and none of it helped.

the only thing that helped my pain was either hydrocodone or oxycodone. i had a bottle of 15 hydrocodone 5mg/500′s from an e.r. visit and i was taking halves and it lasted me almost a month. didnt exactly take the pain away but helped atleast for a couple hours.

i was gonna goto my doctor and pay myself. i want to try to explain to him that i need something for pain. just until i get health insurance back and i can get an mri and get it taken care of for real, not just covered up by pills.

my only fear is, is that im only 21 yrs old and i dont know if my doctor will be comfortable with prescribing me hydrocodone or oxycodone due to fear of abuse or addiction, due to all the people taking advantage of their doctors or faking or whatever pathetic things people do for drugs now.

i have no history of drug or alchohol dependance and ive had the same family doctor since i was 10 yrs old. does anybody have any suggestions for me?

work and sleep are the worst times for me. its almost unbearable at times. it would be a godsend to have something to control my pain. atleast temporarily till i can get this problem fixed.
forgot to mention i have been to a chiro many times..didnt help. only made the pain worse for a few days till it went back to the normal pain…
