    Why bother with college? It would take years to get a GED. Check into vocational training. Plumbers and electricians and mechanics (the "trades") do very well. If you make it through college, you will end up in an office shuffling papers.

    Forget the Army. Just become a firefighter? Or is a GED necessary?

    Where do you live? You need a tutor.

    Hey hon.

    At 19 you are still young enough for job corps. They can give you a place to stay, feed you, an allowance, and they will get you a GED while you train in a vocation/trade.
