desparately seeking advice

Published

I am a pre-nursing student who's path is suddenly so unsure. My mother, a 30+ year veteran RN tells me not to pursue nursing. My husband has hinted that he's prefer if I study something like business but will support me no matter what. My father is hoping I'll become a CPA and take over his business some day. I'm feeling so confused. I'm no longer sure what I want. P.S. I'm out of school for over a year now because I took time off to have a baby. I also have to think about what's best for my family. At least if I study nursing I could do so at CC and not take out loans but I don't want to disappoint anyone. HELP!!!

Regret is a hard lonely bed to sleep on. Corny but true. You are rarely successful at something that you're doing for someone else.

If you ain't happy nobody will be happy. I would at least try to accomplish your goal. You can always change your mind later and will still have marketable skills.
