I'm late to the party, but these are so helpful, thanks! ?

I always wanted to be a nurse when I was younger, but it never really worked out that way and I ended up going down the creative route! Now later on in life, I'm reconsidering my career options and want to pursue a career that will help others, and something where I feel I can really make a difference. I have a passion for mental health and really want to go down this route eventually!

This is a really difficult one! Although I will say that money does not always equal happiness, and if you're having doubts about your career then it's definitely time for a change. Being unhappy in your job isn't what life is about. If you feel financially stable enough, and are willing and can manage to take a hefty pay cut then it's worth doing, but I would definitely make sure nursing is 100% what you want to do.
