I would take the Walgreens job, you have to start somewhere. I started with my college degree at Sears Roebuck making $95 a week; high school grads only made $90 a week (and we're talking 40 hours, you do the math how much minimum wage was back then :-) You have to be moving in order to "streer" your car. Get some work experience and look around "out there" instead of in your own head, like a hamster on a wheel in his cage. Not working does not pay your bills either so why not work and get experience while you are not paying your bills? See if you can work your way to a job as a pharmacy clerk or in a medical supply store, get "around" medicine if only in such a very very limited job. You can't get to "doctor" tomorrow no matter what you do or how much money you have. See if you can get a job as a medical aide of some sort or get a LPN degree and get some money or influence, etc. so you can continue school. Make a plan rather than just concentrate on the way things look now, sounds like you are trying to take too big leaps. I got my braces on my teeth when I was 30! Paid for them myself with my 401K plan from work. . . It was the start of "getting" being proud of myself for taking care of myself.
