How about nurse? Seriously.
Why don't you get off your but and become a realtor. I would be happy to help you with all the ins and outs involved. There is serious money to be made, should you choose to. And if yah work for us, yah better!

If you're good at the book learnin' I second XL's first suggestion - become a nurse, but at least an RN, not an LPN or tech.

I honestly wish I'd have done that instead of Comp Sci. There's a lot more job opportunities in health care, even more for the rare and desirable male nurse.

i dont have too much compassion or (whats the word i am looking for ........sympathy) so nurse is way out of the question

You've haven't been in the hospital recently have you? Compassion isn't a trait for most nurses.

Gina's constantly coming home talking about how no one she works with seems to care. It's a business now, the days of Florence Nightingale are over. And yeah, I agree that it's not right, but it is what it is.

Besides, you can't care too much as a nurse, or you'd never get the job done for breaking down in tears.

Real estate would be good to do.

Even if you stop doing it for a career, knowing how it works can help you in your own investments.

As for the rest of the things you are looking at, try and focus on a trade/career that you could do on your own if ever there was no "job" to go to. My son-in-law is an electrician and he's built up a great side business through friends and contacts that he's made. His boss knows he's doing it. It's stuff that the company normally wouldn't bother with.
It occurred to me that someone will always need an electrician.

I think the difference is that you can get rich in real estate if you do it right.

I wish I was in a position to build a real estate empire.
I'd need to do it with a no-money-down type of deal to start with. - I just don't want to buy it from a guy that also sells web-marketing programs on TV in the middle of the night.
I'm not averse to risk, though. I pulled the trigger on this house while not having a buyer for the old. I ended up carrying the old house for a few months while everyone tried to low-ball me thinking I was desparate to sell. Invariably, I just asked them if they would rent from me instead. They either went away or came back with proper offer.

Sorry, off topic there, but real estate can be fun if you're in the right spot.

Xl, if you're looking for a pupil interested in real estate for investment purposes, I'd take you up on it.

 

[Not A Duster]

I would think selling real estate is like selling anything else tho. Success is dependent on the the effort you put into it.

There are a few guys around here who seem to do real well in real estate. They are also the guys who are putting in 60-70 hour weeks hustling business. The guys who sit in the office 9 to 5 waiting for the phone to ring don't seem to be doing so well.

Wasn't that long ago you could have anything you want if you were willing to work hard for it. Now it seems the folks with the sheepskins are the only people doing well - whether they have any ability/work ethic or not.

My 2 cents?: Go to school - Get an education - It's never a waste.

i already work in a hospital and work with nurses and doctors hand in hand. i am basically an orderly (one of my part time jobs). Most nurses care, but behind the patients back they are fed up with all the stupid people that show up in emerge with minor scrapes and bruises. This is where i shine and would like to tell those patients to "SUCK IT UP" but i cant so i shut my mouth and do something else. I think its the older nurses that set the standars for the new students coming into the field. Their opinions on things are based upon what the older ones have to say about the field.
The things most of the nurses or myself included deal with can be tragic and very depressing. I dont like being depressed, went through that stage of my life and it sucked. Slowly i am climbing my way out of that state. Something about seeing death everyday starts to get to you after awhile. At least it does to me, i have seen enough, death, sadness, grosume (sp) things for about 12 people already in my life and i have only worked there for 3 years [smilie=2:
