Re: mid-life crisis at 22, help me with a career decision in nursing.....
Thanks for all the advice. I knew from the start that I was being drawn to nursing for the wrong reasons (mainly shift availability, $$, and need throughout the country). Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind helping people out, but I can't honestly say that is an overwhelming urge either. My biggest deal was that I liked the idea of a night shift job. For instance, although I would probably like a business or accounting degree, I want to keep my mornings or afternoons free to try and get my real estate career going, so if I went out looking for a job right out of school, then I would most likely be working during the day, not giving me the time to practice real estate like I do now with my 9 pm - 5 am shift. On the other hand I suppose I could simply have the degree and just choose when and if I want to start looking for an occupation pertaining to it, but I would hate to be out of it for too long and not utilizing some of the concepts I had studied in school. And to make it even worse, I am trying to decide if I even want to remain in CT as I've lived here my whole life and realize we are one of the top 3 most expensive states in the country and it takes two decent incomes just to have an average home. I went down to NC last month and was amazed by low cost of living and less sub freezing temps. Ugh, decisions, decisions
