My advice is to go into career fields with low barrier to entry, preferably ones where you are a contract employee and not sitting in front of a roasite interviewing. I wouldn't work the full year either, I would work my 3-4 month contract and then take off to another country to use the power of the dollar. Best to not contribute anymore than is needed to this rotten system. Going into debt to go to college is retarded. Many men already did that and they got burned by our immigration policy. If you go into a 4 year nursing degree, the same will happen in that industry too. Stay mobile with low barrier to entry careers
