-Greencard Holder / Waiting for the interview from the USCIS for naturalization.
-Korean high school degree.
-I am supporting by myself 100%.
-I have a girlfriend in abroad. (long distance relationship)
As considering marriage and immigration, I will need at least $10000 for those.-28 Years Old / Male / 한국군필자
-AD’H’Der (Creative and smart but not neurotypical.)
-My English Level is turning into ‘Advanced’ from ‘Intermediate’.
(I’ve lived in Korea for 20.5 years, America for 7.5 years.
I came to America after I became an adult.
So, my Korean feels way better than my English in my sense.)-I’ve been wandering around so many non-skilled entry-level jobs without a college degree. I am sick of this life.
(I am currently a Class C truck driver who delivers of Japanese goods to several hundreds of Japanese restaurants. I get paid $12.50 an hour. Whenever I deliver the goods to them, I pass by so many white colored customers having fun with their foods on the table. I feel sorrow because I feel like I can’t afford their healthy lifestyle. 🙁 )-I am currently having credit card debt ($15000), recurring car payment ($11000). (For some people with college degrees, it would be much easier but…) They are seriously bothering in my life.
No more debt other than those.
I am planning on living debt free….. Dave Ramsey is the awesome man who is very sincere.-Leaving the Korean community in the career field is my urgent dream in America. (I am very sick of their 노예근성 seriously. I want to be completely away from the perception of their shitty 보상심리 for the rest of my life.)
-I am becoming feeling much more sensitive in these days on the value of the time more than money. I feel like to murder anyone who wastes my time with no values.
Q: I am planning to pay off the debt as first, marry the woman I love and settle her immigration problem as second. Then I will start going to nursing school. Do you think it seems wise?
Q: I am planning to self-study while I am still tackling from that 알바 job(s) and my 1st and 2nd problems. I am already doing it.
But as I virtually don’t know anything about the nursing industry, I am only depending on those ‘Youtube “Nursing Terminology”‘, ‘Smartphone app ‘podcast’ -> “Nursing Terminology”‘…
Can you suggest any books or online sources that I can easily access and precede with self-studying prior to nursing courses? I really want to prepare the background knowledge in this career before I join college.Q: Am I too late to start my career in nursing industry?
Q: Does being Asian matter to become a nurse?
Q: Are there any legitimate nursing-related jobs that don’t require any nursing degrees nor licenses? I am planning to switch my job to keep motiving myself to become an RN.
Q: Does ‘Student Loan’ seem to be a ‘must’ in my situation?
Q: How much would it ‘financially’ cost to become a nurse?
Q: Is it a good idea to become an ADN and get a job then save money and study 2 more years and finally become an RN?
Q: Is it really possible to get an ADN first and then study 2 more years and become an RN? or I have to choose between ADN and RN from the beginning?
Q: I don’t know what it feels like to get GPA 3.5 because I’ve never experienced about GPA in my life.
If GPA 3.5 is compared to 한국 수능 평균 등급, how high the 수능등급 would be?그 외에도 많은 조언 부탁드립니다.
감사합니다.
