HI! Im a sophomore at a university. I originally wanted to apply to college for social work but my parents wouldn't let me because of the low pay so I decided to go for nursing. However, I absolutely hate the hard sciences. I suck at them and I'm about to fail my bio class. I barely passed Chem I and almost failed BIO I and now I'm going to fail BIO 2 and I haven't even taken anatomy or microbio. I really dont think I will be accepted in to the nursing school here.
I am thinking about switching to social work. I know the pay is not comparable to nursing but I think social work is kind of my passion. I have always been so interested in social issues and justice and I was on eboard for multiple community service organizations. If I don't volunteer I feel empty. I would prefer helping homeless people than patients in a hospital.
I've already invested a lot into pre-nursing but I really really hate bio and I'm going to fail and I might not even be able to get my health science degree within four years because I will have to retake my bio classes to get a c or above.
I really do not know what to do. I could see myself as a nurse and I thought that's what I wanted. I told myself that I could do it that I could tough it out but I really can't. The more I try, the more I fail. I think I could really do well in social work. Any advice?
Thanks!
