So, i want to be as honest as possible to get the truth from you guys. So, after much research there are two careers in front of me. Teaching anthropology at college (get masters) or nursing (get accelerated bsn) What is important to me might not be important for others, and that's ok. What i believe might be wrong but it's my belief. FOr me, it is important to be financially stable, meaning be in a position to make 45-50,000 and above(with experience). I want a career that offers some sort of flexibility and allows me to make extra money so that i can send the money to family oversea. It is also important for me to have a JOB. i don't want to finish school and not get a job in two years. SO, this is the issue. I've been researching nursing and see that with the application process, the pre reqs and schooling it will take close to 3 1/2 years to get ABSN. That's not even considering the fact of me NOT getting in to a school and waiting till next year to do and so on.The masters is close to 2 years and couple months. It's not the time but the process that's killing me at the moment. What if i don't get accepted to an accelerated program (i want to attend state school, private is very expensive) do i wait and wait? I feel that my personality leans more towards the teaching but these days, WHO HIRES A TEACHER? Nurses can't even find a job. I have to make a move, i have a BA already and the loans are coming. I'm MOre confussed now that i started the research. Plz any opinion will help. I understand some people might say to follow my passion but i've already discussed in another post that i'm not looking for "passion" i want to be realistic. I've wasted many years trying to find a career that fit my "passion" i don't have one passion, i don't even know it. I just want to be real and trust me, i'm going in it knowing this. Plz, any opinion helps...
