    Finally, a bit of classroom activities shown!! Dang in these other vlogs they just run their mouth, drive, and eat. The guy cracked me up, the teacher was cool, and the gal in the background reminded me of Everest because I was in her convo too 🙂. Subbed and will watch the next one.

      Currently driving making 20 a hour. I wanted to try something in the health Field because it’s always been on my mind just never just throws myself in it. I wanted something quick to get out of my current job but, I hear stories people say it’s 15 a hour that will hurt me lol. I really hope I am making the right decision before I jump into something.

      @@jeangrey2788 I think if it's something you've wanted to try, you should go for it. The pay may be lower but if you end up not liking it, you can always quit and go to another job. But what if it all works out and you end up studying for something else that's higher than a CNA. Also some schools offer the course during the day time or online or at night.
