Why am I doing this...

nursing school is really getting me down. i know its only temporary, but I feel like i'm gasping for air. I'm struggling to prepare for exams, stressed, frustrated, etc. Today I talked to a friend who makes 70k a year working in a refinery who said 90% of his job involves sitting around reading magazines and getting up once an hour to check pressure gauges.

So, i'm thinking "my god why am I killing myself !"

Has anyone else experienced this feeling of W-T-F am I even doing in this career field?

(not sure if I'm the only one that has had moments of serious doubt)

Doubtful. I'm not a lazy person, which is why it doesn't fit.

Am I lazy? I don't know. I like to accomplish things and I workout a lot. Other than that I like my down time these days.

You're young. Go work in the refinery for a while. You can always return to nursing.
