Kazaf- i basically already answered all that you said on page one ^^

_gwenibe_- answered that

and i have a very good doctor he has been my doctor for years and i love him
he gave me many tests and i told him about all of my symptoms

also i know it's stress because i dont get sick during the whole summer even once
im well relaxed and my masoose said i have less knots in my back which is another sign it's stress

and i do not have any money my mortgage is way high and my mom doesnt have a very good job right now

i wish i could be homeschooled but i just cant be do to many things

well ive already decided
everyone keeps telling me about people who dropped out and are miserable

but ive talked with many people who dropped out and are not miserable at all
my one friend amy dropped out and became a massage therapist and she said it didnt hurt her at all and she is very satisfied with her life

she makes 80,000 a year
Interesting because it seems the she makes twice the national average pay for that type job...Hammer will be nice and not say anything bad about your friend but THAT number seems inflated.

Also you may want to check out the state requirements for that position. Much like cutting hair, you may have to enroll in a college program, obtain a certificate, degree or state license. Likewise you may have to complete an apprenticeship program earning hundreds of hours before you are allowed to practice on your own. The link below has a listing of said requirements for each state
