Hmmmm, maybe this quick video tutorial will help your situation:

Fukkin' spoiled Millenials......

you are the true definition of an idiot. Where did I state I received an associates degree?

If I graduated and stated I received a minor in biology, that means I earned a bachelors degree. You must of never attended college I assume?

How do you know I have zero experience or any interning in the field I wanted to pursue?

You cant go on in life making assumptions on little knowledge about the story given. I was accepted into medical school but I don't want to pursue this field, as it really doesn't interest me. On top of the fact school loans will have me paying over 1.5 Million dollars over 20 years after graduation. That is nearly 4k a month deducted for school loans. Is it really worth it?

none the less, people like you, are the problem with society. People who have pipes stuck up their as$ because, they want to act like they are better than others.

making assumptions on a post where I was asking a genuine question and you act like I am speaking like a spoiled kid. I digress, I hope you find some true happiness in your life my friend.

forget money for just a second ,

do something that will make you happy.

if it is being a physician your student loans would be forgiven.

you might have to practice medicine in upstate Nebraska for a time but their are ways and means to be a dr and not under the thumb of a medical degree residency internship ect.

if its biology based look to where you believe you can make a difference.

but for all means decide what you would do so you are happy.

or you will find yourself and your degree in cubicle pushing papers for dhhs.

but if that makes you happy go for it.

I'd advise against Med school. Medicine isn't nearly as lucrative as it was in the past/when our parents were in Med school. Between Obamacare, insurance company changes, deductibles, etc. its a mess. I have a family member who is a doctor and he specifically says its not worth it. Unless you want to be a super specialist (field not covered by insurance i.e. plastic surgery) its not worth with.

Get a State job. Full benefits and your pension will be huge. You could retire in your fifty's. Good pay since you have a degree and I never met a State worker that works hard. I know because my wife works for the State. I was in insurance for years and you can easily make six figures a year if your good. But that industry is going downhill. Baby boomers are smart enough to shop for the best prices on line. Ask Goose he knows.

Exactly what I was thinking Search.

Expand the Education. Medical Field, Baby Boomers, Robotics as related to the Handicapped.

A million other fields without the stress and 100X the heartfelt reward.
