Well I hate it here. I got admitted into med school and was planning on taking out grad loans but that’s probably not going to be an option anymore. I feel like I just wasted so much of my life

That’s very true. Look at your states environment conservation department. Those are usually really good stable careers. It’s where I’m looking to go with my earth and environmental science/geography degree. A lot of water testing and sampling gets done among other works.
