Location: Gainesville, TX | Since you care about horses and you did okay with English and writing, why not get a degree in journalism and try and work for an equestrian magazine. It will keep you around horses a lot, in the middle of the latest news, but you won't be so tired of riding other people's horses from training that you will too tired or not have enough time to ride your own. :) |

Location: Never in one place long | Been there and feel in a way I still am! Don't get down, you are still so young!! My senior year of high School, I was signed up to go to College for Horse managment and wanted to be a horse trainer, well my family said you couldn't make a living on that and were probably right and once I spent two summers training horses I realized it was just a lot of work... so after taking some general courses at a community college, I had a wonderful history teacher (prior to this I HATED history b/c of terrible teachers) but fell in love with it and enrolled to be a teacher, finished my bachelors degree for teaching but the outlook at that time for teachers wasn't good at all, espeically where I live and for Social Studies teachers, very very competitive so subbed for two years and then decided I was tired of it and a job popped up for a District Manger at a Conservation office, I jumped on it and overall I really love it. NEVER would have thought I'd be doing this and best part is, I get to visit schools on a regular basis and give Conservation lesons and I have a flexible schedule, the pay is decent but not bad but it's ok because my husband has a great job..... but anyway, I know in a few years, this won't be challenging enough and I'll move on... I already have plans to quit in a few years and travel the world doing mission work. I used to stress terribly about it but now I feel more as ease.... sorry for the long story but just wanted to let you know it's normal and I'm 30yrs and STILL am kinda wandering... one of my favorite quotes... "not all who wander are lost" Good luck and ENJOY the Journey. |

This is my suggestion as well. You can also do makeup on the side if need be or as part of your business.
Around here it seems like the estheticians do pretty well in the salons...and I live in a small community. |

| This may sound crazy...but if you like skin care you need to look into a career with Rodan and Fields.......The products are amazing and I have friends making 6 figures working from home. Its like anything else though...you have to be committed and work......
I agree with the poster about people not wanting to start at the bottom. That's the only thing I know......there are very few get rich quick jobs out there. It takes years of work and commitment before it pays off.......and that's how it should be.
Good luck. |

Maybe I'm taking it the wrong way but I'm a little insulted. My point was I don't know where I want to go. Not that I don't want to work. It doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of money and work away and have no end goal or objective at the end of the tunnel. |
