Simplified itd be: CNA -nurse assistant LPN -psudeo nurse and after that... Id be a nurse  

Ahh, a nurse! My grandma's a nurse, as is my mom, and at least two of my aunts. My grandma really tried to push me into becoming a nurse!

First step is to become a DSP like me!

I'm already going to school for something else! But if it doesn't turn out, I guess I'd try to become a nurse if I had to! It's just that I'm terrible at biology.

What does a DSP stand for? I know the term PSW, which is what my step-dad is, stands for personal support worker.

Usually it's not worth switching jobs unless pay is notably increased or you have other benefits like better hours or less stressful work.
Think hard about it. I don't know how it's in the US but you might have a chance to just ask for a raise when you get a new client.

If you're still unsure what job is better, definitely stay. Or else you will have more trouble finding work once you have to quit your next job. having one job for an extended time is always better than multiple jobs for shorter times in your resume.

I think that his current client is not contiuning on with him. At least that's what I remember. So I think he's trying to decide whether to get a new client or to seek employment elsewhere?

As far as I understood, he is employed by a company and that client isn't his per se. So I'm assuming that once this client goes he'll get another one assigned from the company.

Yeah, that's how it looks to be. My aunt does it differently, as she is paid directly by the person she's taking care of. I'm not exactly sure what to suggest to Star, but what I do know is that what he's getting now from them is basically poverty-level pay.

What I'm suggesting is that he should do it like me:

Luck out on education where you get shitty pay for 3 years but get free advanced IT courses to make free certificates. Then continue at that company for slightly less shitty pay and leech more free education and certificates.

After that, get a job offer with pretty good pay but the worst colleagues and job experiences you ever had for 5 months. Quit that job, chill for 3 months and let recruiters search you a better job. Have the recruiters give you two great options, one career option and one stable option, both with better pay than your last shitty job.

Then choose the stable job, have great colleages, a chilled work environment and surf the internet for 6h a day while getting regular raises.

 

I think that's a pretty good strategy.
