Find what you love to do and see if you can make money doing it. My main job is my construction company and you know, I love construction work. I may not do much, but, when I get the opportunity to go to a job site, I've taken over quicker than most people realize I'm there. I love working with my hands and thankfully, I'm in a position to do just this for the rest of my life. I got a degree in chemical engineering. The closest I've come to that is watching an employee at my nursery mix fertilizer, because, I didn't really want to do that. I knew I wanted to make money in college and to tell you the truth, if I could do it over, I'd get a degree in sustainable technology, because I love the technological aspects and creative thinking required when it comes to producing alternative forms of energy.
You're 18, you could go to school. If you get a degree in a STEM field, the loans ARE worth it. Look into it, you might find something you like.
