Well I'm about to go into my last year of high school and up until last year when I took a programming class and found out I didn't really like it at all, i wanted to be a programmer. To be honest I not really sure what I want to do so I was hoping maybe the nice folks at Totse(lol) could help me out. I do like working with computers and fixing them but theres already like 15 businesses around here that. I was looking into becoming an electrician and found out some interesting info about it like you actually get paid while training in the apprenticeships and they have good pay once you become certified, but sounds like it may be a difficult thing to learn as I am not that great remembering a lot of things at a time or by simply seeing it done. I'm also not sure how to get into the apprenticeship programs. Heres a technical college close to where I live that trasins in electrical stuff(didn't mention appr. program though) http://www.bowlinggreen.kctcs.edu/index.php

So I thought if I could list what I'm looking for in a job then may be ya could help me out. I would like to be able to have variety in the things I do each day, also something that is somewhat easy to learn, an inside enviroment because it get pretty hot and humid here, doesn't really have to pay a whole lot just enough for say a average living(25,000-45,000) around here and if possible when I could sleep late(10 am) and work late(not really a must just a nice bonus).

Well any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Electrician is actually a pretty easy job. Any decent size'd college or trade skill should have an apprentice program so it shouldn't be that hard to find.

It's pretty easy to learn. You work indoors *most* of the time. Sometimes you have to go inside an attic that's about 140 degrees, but you get to be your own boss and work your own hours and it pays pretty damn good.
