It's not too late.

Step 1: Make sure your general education is completed.

Step 2: Estimate the cost of school and figure out what grants might be available. Avoid students loans. It's better to save and start school a bit later than to take on debt.

Step 3: Figure out what careers fall into the income bracket you want to make, and then choose the career that you feel fits your personality. You may find that nursing isn't for you, and you don't want to be stuck in a field you hate. Try to find a job in the field of interest so you can observe what it might be like.

Step 4: Get started and maintain a B grade or better. Set aside a consistent amount of time to study every evening and don't skimp.

Step 5: Make a plan for rewards for goals met. Go on a trip after you finish your first year to celebrate a job well done, or whatever motivates you.

Best of luck to you. :D

okay- nursing is a good career. You can find a two year program at a community college for not much money or maybe no money. After Covid there has been a lot of opportunity for training. Go to your local Community College and ask to see a counselor. You are not too old for this. You will be 50 years old someday anyway. Wouldn't it be better to have a rewarding career?

Your resilience is commendable, and it's never too late to pursue your dreams. For a stable career with growth potential, consider becoming a medical assistant or real estate agent. Both have shorter training periods compared to neurosurgery or nursing. Earning a GED in the U. S. can be a practical step if your Pakistani degree issue persists. Prioritize improving your skills and gaining certifications relevant to your field of interest. With determination, you can build a rewarding career. Focus on short-term goals to support your long-term aspirations, and don't hesitate to seek mentorship.

Check at a health clinic if a community College degree is enough. If yes, then try studying at a community college.
