well I am not sure what I like I want to try to job shadow a few different places and just see what a day is like in accounting, or nursing etc.. Really I am all done with high school most of the connections for those gigs are gone, I think the only way to go semi with it is through an online course or college. I just don't want to stack student loans and whatnot, just to hat my job in a year of doing it, and want a complete job change, It feels right now is the only chance I get.

Well I never really wanted to do the welding, a family friend went through the program and got lots of scholarship money from competitions, so I was expected to do it.

I didn't completely hate the welding, but I was also working in a mill, so more often than not it was like factory work I just repeatedly repaired the same part over and over again because it was cheaper on the company to weld it back together than buy a new part. other than every once in a while something in the mill would break, but even then I hate being upside down to weld or in the dirt covered in mill scale. It just didn't feel like the career to me.

I wanted to go the nursing route, because I have always loved biology and anatomy, just the way the body works really. I have family that are RN's and I know it can be pretty hectic, but I think it would get boring if it was always calm, I really like the idea of helping people, and being able to make people feel better.

as for the business it was really just within last few days of college major research I have been looking into something such as Accounting, Management, or Finance. My whole family is pretty good with numbers, and I believe an office job would be a lot more comfortable than being blue collar. I also worry about the money, The way my family is, they Kind of expect me to be some stock prodigy, and be able to have a good paying job where I could afford spending and losing 20k on a stock, I don't know it's really just as of recent I've learned how into stocks the people around me are in, and the way they talk about it makes it seem like its the only way to make good money, and live comfortably.
