Question by Splicer201: Carrer options for a 17year old highschool graduate?
I am 17 years old and graduated high school last year with a Cert 1 and 2 in Information Technology Systems and and Cert 1 in engineering. My whole school life i had been dedicated to going to University. However in late Year 12 circumstances changed and university no longer became an option. I wanted to become an engineer and dreamed of building and designing electronic gismos. I am also very interested in writing.
However i live in a small isolated minning community and i have kinda been brainwashed into believing that an aprentiship is the smartest thing to further my life and create a stable carrer and i have heard this from friends family youthworkers teachers ect. After grduating i started a radio-tech aprentiship and have been doing this for the past few weeks. While i find i do enjoy working with tools, ecpecially electronic equipment, i have found that my trade is far to boring and very un-technical. Most days i find myself contemplating working somewere simple like in retail.
Im having a hard time trying to decide wether to stay with my trade. All in all its a decent job with good career benfits and a prestigious title in my community that will give me skills for work for my furutre, and something that i guess i could contemplate doing. However at the same time, i find the work boring and far between, the skills un-technical. I find that the work is in my interest, but i have other intrests that i am more keen on persuring such as jobs working with computer hardware/software or becomming a writer.
However like i said i live in a small minning town so the chocies are either aprentiships, university or some meaningless retail job. The retail job and the aprentiship both have there possitives and negatives and im trying to decide doing some meaningfull job but be mildly uncontempt about it, or have a crusy job with little career value.
What options are there for me after i finish highschool. University is still not an option, but i find myself interested in physics and maths ect, and extremmly untalented when it comes to commen sence and tools, although i have interets retaining to electronics.

You sound like you must figure a way to get out.
Even if you have to scrip and save to get out save for 6 to 12 months then go and live near a university and restaurants and businesses where you can just work enough to rent a small clean place with cooking facilities and transportation .
You can do it your young and after 5 or 6 years of saving working getting a education .
You’ll be out of the hell hole of poverty like many I know that today are I.B.M. executives and much more even air force Technician’s
