That is why i am asking if it can be done if it cannot be done then i wont
do it and stay away from ham radio. don't want to waste my money getting a
license or the time to study if it cannot be done.


Don't waste your time or money. The Ham Radio hobby is for people who have a
genuine interest in radio. It is not a communications carrier or a back door
to getting freebee services. Generally, the "freebee" services ham radio
provide require a substantial investment in both personal time and money in
order to exist or to be utilized. If you don't have a particular interest in
radio, you will find that ham radio is ultimately unsatisfying. You have to
learn a bunch of stuff, work cooperatively with other people, follow and
respect not only the FCC rules but ham radio's "gentlemen's agreements" as
well. Many people will expect you to show an interest in community service.

You have made it plain that your interest in ham radio only goes as far as
what kind of "freebee" it might give you... That's not really a good enough
reason to go through the effort. You'd be better off without ham radio, and
ham radio would be better off without you.

I'd say your best bet is to go with plan "B"; something that does not
involve ham radio.
