No one can force you, at 19, to take any job you don't want to. Unless, of course, your living with your Dad and he's trying to help you get out in the real world. I recommend that you don't go through with being a CNA unless you have the stomach for such a job because you could do harm to your patients (residents) without even trying. Being scared to take care of people who need help is definitely not the way to go.

I was a CNA for one full year and I can honestly say it had alot more bads than goods. The pay was alright but it is sooo not worth it. Maybe your dad doesnt know what being a cna entails. Maybe he should try to go out and change a bunch of pee'd, pooped bed pads, wipe some sick people *** and lift 250 lb men into their wheel chair before he opens his mouth. You can take any other course that would pay the same and be alot better for you. Why not try medical billing or any other tech job. Tell him that its not his future, its yours and your gonna be damned if he makes you into a f'n CNA.

Job wise, I don't know. But moving out of your house is a big mistake. With some job (not CNA) you won't be making as much money you need. A place to live would cost allot of money. There are other living expenses to consider. Such as a car. There are other jobs. But take college courses. They will help you.

Maybe you should look at the peterson 2-year college on the net or the hard copy at the reference section at the libariy or the petersons 4- year college book
you can see different majors and different schools that offer these coarse and you also can see the jobs you can obtain after getting a degree what ever you do pray on it because you want to be happy

You're in a very difficult situation. First off, can you afford to live on your own? If you can, then that is definitely an option, but I would highly recommend trying to explain to your Dad why you are moving out, and try to leave on good terms. He's only looking out for your best interests, and wants the best for you...

My friend is a CNA, she wished she was trained in something else,she hates it, Don't waste your life in a career you will not be happy doing, just explain it to your father, plus it does not pay well either. Good Luck

Of course you have a choice. There is always a choice. You either choose to listen to your father or you choose to make your own way in life. You are of age. You can make you own choices. That is what life is about.

hey, im actually studying to become a nurse, but what i wanted to say was i was told of "nurses assistant" my cousin is a nurse and she told me "you do not want to be a n/a, its the worst job!" other nurses treat you badly and you get to clean up and do all the dirty messes (and you probly know what im talking about lol) so i can suggest to become a RN, but if its not your thing its not your thing! i love my parents but i wont give up trying to talk to him. but if he still doesnt listen to you.... the best and the right thing to do is listen to him. he is your dad after all and he loves ya lol

You are an adult and should make your own decisions. It's your life not your Dad's. Move out if necessary anf find something that you enjoy doing.
