You can go in at 17, with your parent's permission.  My husband went into the Marine Corps at 17 years old.  Asthma is kind of a hard one to get a waiver for, but you can get a waiver, if it isn't "life threatening"  If you have a college education, you may be able to go in at a higher rank.  Just call your local recruiting office.  No matter what they say about not saying anything about your asthma, don't listen to them, it is better to disclose that, because they will find out when you're down range anyway.

Actually, Florida has some good spots. "Sebastian Inlet" is one of the "Hottest". In Jacksonville, FLA there is a couple good spots,( "Hannah Park", is a good one.) North Carolina, Cape Hatteras. Most of the East Coast breaks bigger during hurricane season,(but that can be detrimental to your health...lol). If I had to pick the best, it would be Sebastian Inlet. Good luck!

Georgia of course.\n\nBecause we have beaches and mountains, farmlands and marshlands, swamps and rivers.  Georgia has some of the most beautiful countryside in the US. People who live in Georgia are friendly, and the state isn't backwoods like the sterotype. We have Atlanta with its Fabulous Fox Theater, Georgia Aquarium, Turner Field and Home of CocaCola. We have Savannah with it's multitude of shopping, River Street and beautiful historic squares.  We have Athens, home of the Bulldogs (woof, woof, woof).  And we have so many lovely small towns....Madison, Vidalia, Eatonton, and Ellijay.  \n\nOh, and, for the most part, we have mild weather. ie. we dont get the huge tornados and earthquakes. And, thank God, hurricanes seem to pass us by.\n\nI can't think of a better place to live.

California starts out with the highest pay, but compared to their cost of living it's not really that good. Do a search for "highest respiratory therapy salary" and you'll find some good sites where you can pick different parts of states and it will give you the average salary there. Also, if you are willing to travel, that's where the money is!!

I'd suggest Houston.  I'm in the medical field as well, and have moved away a few times, but keep coming back because Houston has by far the best career opportunites of places I've been.  Cost of living is much lower than other large cities.  You can buy a 3 BR house for under 150K.  Houston has the largest consolidated medical center in the US, and there are over 80 hospitals in the city, including several large teaching institutions.  Winters are very mild, though the summers are pretty hot.  You're less than an hour from the beach, and there are some fantastic restaurants here.

You need to be evaluated by a doctor now!  At best, you are miserable and have disrupted sleep.  At worst, you have a life threatening disease that will only get worse UNLESS YOU GET TREATMENT. \n\nBest case, you have asthma -- a chronic disease that can be controlled.  Uncontrolled asthma is a leading cause of er visits and can lead to death (in severe cases). And that is one of the better scenarios -- others include cancer, copd, tb, pnemonia, NSIP... \n\nIs there anyway you can afford to pay out of pocket?  Put the $65 on a visa?\n\nIf not, are you eligible for medicare (older) or medicaid (lower income) or disability?\n\nIf not, then try a community clinic - they are federally subsidized and offer sliding scale fees for lower income clients.\n\nWorst case, show up a emergency room.  While you will be billed for the treatment (which is why the other options are better), they will treat you eve if you have no money.  Many hospitals offer charity care in some cirumstance.

All big cities have terrible traffic polution. The best air quality is on the Atlantic coast, because the sea breezes tend to blow the pollution away. If you REALLY want the best air quality, don't live in a big city. Consider one of those cool smaller towns on the Atlantic coast.

You need to see a physician! You have a serious problem with your asthma. It isn't uncommon at all, but can result in death.

I have lived MN,CO,FL,MN,NV,NM,MN, and I have to say that\nMINNESOTA is the best. We have it all. The state has a balance of urban and rural, ALL four seasons, thousands of lakes, bountiful wildlife, and the best baseball team in the Major Leagues(Go Twins!) . No coincidence that its called "God's country".
