I was admitted to RN Nursing program at George Brown College-Ryerson University (Ontario,Canada) this year but decided to drop out because I had no motivation to go to the school, the environment was absolutely horrible, I forced myself to wake up in the morning. Also, to be honest, I was a bit nervous because of meeting new people(I guess you could say I am a shy person), transitioning from high school to college/university.
I accepted my offer from University of Toronto for Life Science for Fall 2012-2013, however, it just doesn't feel right... I really want to work in a hospital but with a Life Science degree, I would need higher education for a real job. I'd love to work in a research lab but I searched that Nurses can also work in labs.
I am 19 years old male and graduated from high school last year. I feel like if I skip this year, it would be another waste of year (2 years skipped, if I plan to drop the program from U of T). Even if I do take another year off, my parents are already disappointed in me and ..I just don't know what to do!
It's a good idea to commit to something, but don't rush into just anything. Your school's advising department might offer personality and career interest tests for students. Have you tried using those? Based on these tests, you might find other careers that better match your personality and interests, and enhance your confidence when pursuing that career. Another thing you might be able to do is to just try different things. Volunteer abroad, do random jobs etc. and you'll figure out more about yourself.
