Hello all!!!.. If I posted this in the wrong section of the board, i apologize.. I am currently a 4th year apprentice in a 5yr program at the local 5 trade school.. I have the rest of this year and next before i complete the jorneymans program.. I make $28 dollars an hour and I get paid every week but theres a problem.. After seven years of constuction i just dont have the desire to be in this industry anymore.. The wear and tear on my body has become evident.. I had hernia sugery last month and have had a lot of time to put things in perspective.. I just cant see myself beating my body up for the next 20yrs no matter how good the pay is.. It stinks because it has taken me 7yrs to realize that i dont want to be a plumber(smh).. However, after talking with my mother who is a RN, i was thinking about going into the medical field, prefurably the scrub tech program.. Which would mean quitting the plumbing program and start saving up to go back to school.. I wonder if this is a good decision considering i have a felony on my record(mail theft).. I dont want to go through scrub tech certification and have issues finding a job because of my record.. I guess my question is, has anyone seen a person in my situation before??? How did it work out??? Any and all insight is welcome.. Thanks to those who respond in advance.

This is NOT the appropriate place for the OP's question (if there is actually one). If you are interested in Scrub Tech school, please post your question in the Clinicians/Allied Health Forum...
