Well, to be honest I'm unsure what I would like to be when I grow up. I'm considering higher education for a degree psychology, environmental science or sociology but a degree alone doesn't guarantee a job these days, you need to distinguish yourself from others. It isn't as easy as completing just obtaining your degree and automatically getting a career in your field of studys, in fact many people settle for a job that has absolutely nothing to do with what they spent thousands of dollars to study for because that was the only work that they can find. There's so many people who have post secondary degrees who flip burgers for a living. There was a time where you were almost guranteed to get a job with a post secondary degree back in the 1960's as not as many people went to university but now a degree is almost obsolete. Is it really worth putting yourself through the stress of paying student loan debt for the next thirty years of your life?Another path I'm considering is being an entrepreneur and create a unique product but can take takes a lot of trial and error before you find your winning product. I suppose that I could get into the trades, my father is a roofing specialist who also is qualified to work in mechanics, plumbing, masonry, carpentry, electrical and several other construction related trades, he doesn't have any regards to my education despite being a graduate from vocational school and college. He is however willing to teach me the trades but I don't think that's the right field for me because of my irrational fear of cutting my hand off and the fact that I'm female and in construction workplace discrimination against females is widespread.

I would like to obtain my general education development, the classes at community college or adult learning centres are free but I'm unable to take the five exams or the classes because I don't have the required documentation. My parents haven't even got my a birth certificate yet and it has caused so much headache.
