Let's get down to your future. If you want a career with good pay and few layoffs, join the medical field. Also, the higher up in this field, the better the pay. Nursing and being a doctor are great. But you need a lot of science and math in high school. You need a good memory for all that you must learn. Check on the colleges in your area that offers medical careers. When you enter any school, go to a counselor and get your program laid out. Remember, you get back what you put in. If you work hard you will be rewarded. Also, you need to be able to stand blood and surgery. Don't let anyone stand in your way...not even LOVE (boy or girl friend).
