Im 21 and I went to college for a semester, wasn't feeling it, so I left, I work full time in a call center and I want to have a career, I want to be a hair stylist, but I don't have the time to go to the school but I'm living on my own with my boyfriend, my work hours wouldn't be able to work around it either, I also wanted to become a nurse or a medical assistant but like I said that needs to be hands on, dental assistanct too, HELP

What would your work hours allow? Have you looked into night College?

I work Monday - Saturday (with Thursday off ) 10-7, but soon ill be working m-f 8-5, so by the time I go home, and eat dinner, its like 630, then I have to go to the gym cause I need to. Then bed time, my best bet is online classes and even then, I don't know what to do

There's a saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way." The detail there is actual will, not just wish. Where I live the local technical college offers courses in the evening in all the professions mentioned in your post. Check around. You may also need to adjust your life temporarily outside your comfort zone to accommodate school. You will have to decide which is the priority - your current job, or training to get the job you desire.

My experience with on line classes is that they are pretty useless. If you want a career it's going to involve some sacrifice which very well may involve giving up the gym or going to the gym on your days off.

You are the only one who can chose a career which will make you happy. If you don't know what you want to do, take some general courses and see where that path leads you.
