If you have career advisers in your high school, I would go talk to them about seeing what careers would offer you quick training that you would be able to find a job with afterwards. I would also research those careers on your own to make sure it's not overinflated or that the wait is actually what it is. A lot of people recommend nursing, but in the USA, nursing schools usually have a waiting list or they do not accept half of the applicants that apply.
I only have one year left of high school and I am pretty sure I would have an easier time passing if I get all my credits then trying to write the test. I had planned to go to college to become a baker/ pastry artist and there is a college close by where I live that has a one year graduate program. For now I have a part time job as a dishwasher and my boyfriend is doing an apprenticeship and making good money. That is our plan.
