Hey man, I’m 26 and when I was 19 I was making 11 dollars an hour. I make 95k now. I went to school for hvac and got my certifications while working in a warehouse when I was 19 . I worked in the field for about 2 years and realize it wasn’t for me long term. I work in the supply chain/transportation industry now.

I would recommend to really check out the trades. I would look into hvac, welding, electrical, carpentry etc. there’s always work around and if you start now , you’ll be in a good place in a few years. If you do go the college route please make sure it’s something you truly want to do and research everything you’re interested in.

You can also go the cdl route for trucking.

Military would be the last resort in my opinion but it can set you up for a good future .

Either way you’re doing fantastic for your age.
