Have you considered getting into drawing or painting? Pixel art is fun to learn, or you could pick yourself up a graphics tablet and mess around with that

Art hasn't been too pretty for me. I used to do cartoons (think whacky stuff with Mario and whatnot), and I honestly did some neat stuff. However, it never caught on for me.

Yeah. It sucks but healthcare doesn't pay much early on XD

Assuming you're going from STNA/Caregiver to Doctor the industry pay scale goes like: 

-$17,000 a year Caregiver

-$20,000 a year Caregiver w/ advanced credentials 

-$26,000 a year STNA

-$30,000 a year LPN

-$45,000-50,000 a year RN

And then depending on your field (lets do general) as a doctor: 

-$80,000-120,000 a year

What are you interested in being? Are you going in all the way, or are you fine with the $50000 salary?

For me I'm about to get my STNA license. Which, in Ohio qualifies me for about $14-16 an hour. If I make $15-16 I'll only need one job. In a year I'll be an LPN. And in 3, a nurse. 

Medically, I have no interest in becoming a doctor. The hours suck, being on call 24/7. Uneven hours. Yuck. No, after being a nurse Im going to be training as a psychologist. It pays about $75,000-85,000 a year. Less than a doctor. But I'm not on call and work basically 9-5. So I'll take that over being a doctor any day of the week, month, year... ever
