I don't know what to do ;_;

I had wanted to go to college for genetics. My mom signed me up for phlebotomy. I went to college even though I told my mom that I don't think I'm emotionally ready for such a big responsibility and she said that maybe I would be ready when I graduated (school lasted a year) I have the emotional age of a 13 year old. I have huge issues with social anxiety and I have never had a job before. Well I graduated with a 4.0. My mom is now getting on my case about getting a phlebotomy job. I keep saying I would really like to start off with a small part time job like most teenagers do. She got mad and said about how I am so smart and I'll waste my brains if I don't do phlebotomy. I told her that even when I did clincals I was experiencing emotional shutdowns and if I would have had to do more weeks of clinicals I would have had a huge meltdown and If this would have happened in the work setting it would not have ended well. My mom continued to argue with me about it saying that it would be nice for me to have a job and get a lot of money (idk what I would spend a thousand dollars on) and that she wont always be alive to support me (she seems to think shes going to die any second).This ended up with me having a huge meltdown. Even after all of that she still bugs me about getting a phlebotomy job. Help?

Your mom is just doing what moms do--worrying about their kids!

The part time job thing might be the way to go if you can find part time work.

You could try contacting a staffing service that specializes in the medical field. They might be able to help.
