Wolf_Q,

Some of the more interesting things I have done over the years have been related to short courses that I have taken through a local community college. These have given me exposure to a wide variety of other potential areas for work. Just because you are young is no reason to sample some of the options that are out there. For example, the Americore program pays you a stipend to perform community work for one year and then provides money towards a year of post-secondary education. So there are plenty of opportunities out there, although you might need to use a little imagination to find them
