I feel completely lost when it comes to the occupation i want. I am a 19 year old first year nursing student.
I finished high school last year and jumped into a nursing degree because i thought it was safe, had been told i could make a lot of money (funny huh?), and it would help people.
This whole year so far in this course has been one up hill battle, i feel like i have no interest in what im learning about, i find taking a bloody temperature so boring. My mum is a nurse, my auntie and uncle are both nurses and they seem to love their jobs.
I know realise i want a job that i will have some status in, something that pays well, a job that i can work 9-5 in or near about to those times so that im able to have a life and a job where my body wont ache afterwards.
I feel so stupid and i dont know what to do......this year alone has cost me $18000 which i have to pay back when i start working.
I have been thinking about what i should do and i thought maybe psychology, so i went and had a meeting with the head of psychology at my uni and basically got told it was "too hard" because you have to do an honors year and they looked at my record and said because i have a mental illness which is obsessive compulsive disorder i will have a very hard time at getting through the course. Im not dumb but i only shine when i am passionate about something...........ive always thought i wanted to be in health.....i dont know now.........and maybe im just doing psychology so i can figure out myself?
My mother went to a clairvoyant yesterday and she said that i was a business person...
Okay, so this is all over the place but i need your advice. Im feeling like i should just put up with another two years of nursing so that i have the degree and will always have a job or i could try and pick up psychology aswell and walk out in three years will a psychology and nursing degree and then decide which one i want? However, im scared about wasting my time and money, i just want to find my passion.
Please tell me what you think!
