Thinking about switching to healthcare?

I am a manual machinist right now, I am currently perusing a mechanical engineering degree right now. I live in Orlando FL and since there isn't that much machinist jobs or ways for me to actually get experience and learn to operate CNC machines since I have no cars and related on public transit/personal bike. I am working on getting my driver license.

Only major problem is for me driver license and a car since orlando is very car dependent.

I am interested in surgical tech, pharmacy technician, biomedical equipment tech/repair maybe biomedical engineering. I original wanted to become a manufacturing engineer but they didn't offer that specific degree but than I found mechanical engineering degree is better overall degree for engineering.

Is there any other careers/fields to look into besides those l listed? I do plan to transfer USF in the future, I am also interested in moving to Spain, Italy, Estonia, Portugal, Greece, Finland and maybe Turkey.

Thinking about becoming a tech

I am thinking about becoming a pharmacy technician through this local technician college since I left my job as a machinist recently since i'm entry level and there isn't that much machinist work in my city/state. I was thinking about becoming a pharmacy technician, practical nursing or another program i found interested in.

Is there anything I should know about before hand? I wanted to work at a hospital first or this job i found sterling compounds at this company I found on ziprecruiter.

Is there any certificate I can get to help me get a better job or option at least. I do plan on coming back to school at some point to start this degree program in sonography. But I want switch to a different field first so I have income and more options incase one fails or better raises.

Edit 1 the program pharmacy tech program is hourly so 7:30am to 2:20 PM at my campus I picked. Also i think I there is 2-3 certificates i can try for. I have check when I get home

Thinking about a future side gig

I am a entry level machinist I know manual but I want to learn CNC and program. I still live with my parents rn; I am thinking about my future and side gigs right now. I thought about making a little CNC shop somewhere on my parents property. I know starting this project takes a shit ton of money, space and time.

I was thinking about making gym equipment with CNC machine, I seen it on Instagram and I really liked that idea beside some firearm related stuff I want to explore at some point. I am currently going to school for mechanical engineering, and I might switch to medical sonography field due lack of decent jobs in my area/state.

In your experience what your start up cost, problems, and licensing issues you had at the start. I live in FL and if I do decided what is a good CNC mill or lathe model I should Look into?

What can I do to help this area and also what your experience with this issue

I had lower chronic back pain since 12/10/24 and this pain went in the summer since I don't wear a heavy bag. But since i'm graduate it still kinda there when I workout. I started to do core workouts and I can do crunches without pain now. But I noticed when I do deadlift on low weight or just the 45 pound bar I noticed this area of my back/hip feels tight/pulling when I bend over and lift something heavy.

I'm starting to think this might be a nerve issue because of my family medical history of sciatic nerve pain or maybe this triggered by my work since i'm a machinist and work with heavy items.
