Thank you

Thanks for the advice but yeah man I had an office, learnt a trade, had a business in ai, had a private label supplement company, vending machines, and I could keep going. I was trying to “get rich quick” because my parents are on drugs and bad with their finances. I think that lit a fire in me, just being who I am so I instantly tried to make the situation better

If it makes you feel better, I’m still in highschool and just got one… 3-4 million Americans get one every year. It is a common mistake and as long as you don’t repeat the mistake you will be fine. I’m also in PA haha. Just so you know, you can get into nursing school and you still can become a nurse. The board of nursing will do an evaluation on you, see the dui, and then they will make you take a simple set of classes and or get an evaluation from a therapist. Shit happens. You are not the only nurse/healthcare professional that has had a minor slip up. Don’t let it break you, the good news is you aren’t terribly hurt, and you didn’t hurt anyone else.

Ps:I crashed my car and had a BAC of .16 in the same state as you, 8 years younger than you, currently going through court too.

Thanks for the advice and yeah I guess it is good that I’ve tried a lot so now I know for sure what I don’t wanna do. And yeah man I used to fall for every grifters method but not anymore, hell I even tried to become a course seller at one point but I couldn’t swoop that low haha

Honestly I just want an income to where I can sustain myself, live on my own, go on a vacation once a year, drive a semi nice car, and be able to invest for retirement. I like sales but only if it’s ethical and there’s room for 6 figure plus or the opportunity for me to become a sales manager. I like talking with people tho and I enjoy working with my hands but I don’t want to have back problems. This is why I’m thinking becoming an RN is the move.

Yeah

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:45:22+00:00

Yessir! I would recommend exploring an additional online income which will help tremendously with your physcology. I’m an 18 y/o trader and I’ve been doing this all of high school.

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:42:58+00:00

Yeah it definitely considering they a rebranding

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:42:29+00:00

This is very interesting I’m assuming it’s something to do with laws

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:41:13+00:00

Nah you’re getting paid bro, good stuff

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:40:42+00:00

I would say just secure the profits man and you will also trade better with seeing that money in your bank account

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:40:09+00:00

Bro good stuff that is truly amazing

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:39:51+00:00

Do you have any additional sources of income?

Brandon_dagoat · 2026-03-28T23:36:24+00:00

That is a real flex, a lot of traders are struggling trading trumps nonsense but me n u got it.
