I am a young, college educated guy who needs a career path but I hate the fact that most of the entry level opportunities for college grads entail pushing buttons in a cubical. I’m not interested in office attire, politics or anything else. I was thinking about going back to school to become an EMT, and I was also thinking of being certified to teach…these are the sort of gigs that I could handle, no big city high rise for me (at least not as we typically would characterize that experience.) Does anybody have any other suggestions?
I do not mean to offend cubical bound button pushers…I hope you love your job, I’m just looking for a few suggestions. Thanks.

Teaching sounds like a great idea. It never gets boring and your always learning in addition to helping those who need you in more ways than you will ever know. It also gets great vacation time and ok pay. Although the pay is not as high as it would be for those that are in the business field, it is still enough to live comfortably. I think the pros out weigh the cons or at least even them.

Why not start your own Ebay business? What I would give to have Ebay in high school.
Make or find something and sell it on Ebay. My cousin Rachel just cleared $1,400 over the last two weeks selling granny heads made from old ladies stockings and polyester fill.
Can you whittle? Make a whistle or a wooden carving? If it is half decent, someone will buy it on Ebay.
Another idea is to rent stuff that college students need. Like fridges and microwaves. Go to a liquidator and buy those items second hand. Get a truck and rent them out at the start of the school year. Get a truck and pick them up at the end of the school year. The key thing is making sure that the item rented out is priced correctly (rental + security deposit must be greater than the price of the item). If they break it, you have just made a profitable sale. If they return it, you break even on the following year. Every year after is pure gravy.

Truck Driving.
Pay for solo driver averages 60,000 a year, pay for team averages 100,000 plus.
60% of the people who become truck drivers leave the industry after 6 months. It's a very demanding tough life, but the rewards are huge.
You get to see the whole country, independently manage your own time, meet and talk to people all over the country, and get a lot of time to think to yourself.

In this day and age it is fine to do as you are asking. If you don't want to be a cubicle slave, then follow the dream of getting your teaching license and taking the EMT courses. You can do both and most colleges do offer them.

you should remember working at Chessington international of Adventures, or working for the Royal relatives. i think God will grant help to to get a job you will possibly be tender with, if youin case you pray to Him. I evaluate iN God, and that i'm in any respect circumstances praying toHim, specially as quickly as i hit upon it complicated to make alternatives.
