I want to go back to school

Post Reply New Topic

I decided I want to go back to school but I don't know what I want to be. I'd like to go to school to be something so I can make better money and not be poor. I think of my interests but I can't decide what I want to be. I don't want to be on SSI for the rest of my life. I don't want to work making little money just above minamum wage for the rest of my life and not afford to go anywhere far. I'd like to go back to Europe and see London again, I'd even like to go to Australia.

What kinds of work would you like to do?

I want to learn how to fix computers, I'd like to work in speciel ed with kids with special needs, I'm interested in learning about filmaking, I'd like to be in a movie, I'd like to work in a daycare.

If you have experience with special ed kids it wouldn't be so hard.
They let me volunteer when I turned 14 to help take kids on day trips and all.
But even if you have no experience there's training that can be done. Some places here in Au even offer it for free.
If you can get a place volunteering, maybe take some training you could work your way up to a full time paid job in one of these places. My brothers go to them all the time so I know all the organizations near myself but I wouldn't know any near you...

Being in a movie is easy. Getting paid a reasonable amount for it is not.

For the others, you need to make a choice - tech school (for computer repair)
or college. If the latter, you can attend without having an absolute goal, at least
for a while. That way you could take some filmmaking, acting, and psychology (towards a social work or education degee)classes, thereby beefing up your gen-ed requirements. Then, if you find one which outshines the rest, you can concentrate.
