Not a good career. But then again not everybody can make good money or be rich either I guess.
Isn't the OP 19? I said go to college. 4-5 years out of high school he should have a degree and have no problem finding a great career. What he should be looking for now is a job with flexible hours and solid money for a teenager so he can get through college. Not going to college is dumb in this day and age unless you go military. 9/10 of my high school friends that didn't go to college or dropped out (not many) are working dead-end crappy jobs with low pay, while all my friends that are just graduating from good schools are being dropped into jobs that start at 40-50k and have the potential for way more. Sure, you can succeed without a degree, but it's a hell of a lot harder and the bottom line is that unless you own your own business, there is always going to be someone with a degree telling you what to do. GO TO SCHOOL OP. You'll have tons of fun and have a huge leg up on everyone else.
