Ok, here's the deal. I live in St. Louis MO, I'm 22, live with my parents, have a 4 year old child and have NO idea on what I'd like to do for a living. As of now I work at a grocery store making $9.50 an hour. I have been at this job for nearly 5 years so keeping a job is not a problem for me. The question really is what job could I make between $14-$16 an hour as starting pay. I am willing to go back to school BUT I would like to be done within one year, because next year my mom told me I need to move out. Any ideas are welcome.

I wish I had the body to strip...atleast I could do it through school to pay for it!!! I'm also not a good dancer. But I considered doing it.

I suggest taking community college courses... going back to school may sound ..boring..but in the best interest of ur child that may be what he/she needs . Or you can strip (seriously , no joke) My cousin is one,and makes over 500$ a night
Talk to your mother that you want to improve your situation and if she can allow you two years instead of one to have a chance at a better job and pay.
Most companies today do NOT allow their employees a chance to retire since they do NOT want to share future profits.
These business owners prefer to keep as much money as possible and an education makes you employable.
This is what is wrong with the United States of America today.
A key to succeed is a degree from a four college or university especially one that is marketable.
Not all degrees can land people a job in the business world since some are for academic life such as teaching.
Find out what you are good at and then get at least a community college degree so get a job that has a future.
A high school diploma today is meaningless, but NEVER a college degree.
I recommend that you go for a BS or a BA over an AS and/or AA.
Four year college education is more thorough than over a community college most of the time.
Learn to market yourself as in interviews, resumes, and cover letters.
Do your best in learning how to apply your training.
People that apply their education to life are usually the most successful.
I want to expand on *Drea*'s response: your local community college can provide you with interest and aptitude tests that will help identify career options that are well-suited to your interets and abilities. You can then use your local library or state job placement service to get an idea of the job outlook, annual # of openings, etc. for those jobs in your area. An Associate's (2-year) degree will give you a huge edge on your competition.
