I have considered this.. where exactly does one go to speak to a career councilor?

Thank you all so much. One problem is that when I try to have a one on one with myself I just choose whatever floats my boat that day... I think you're right about focusing on teaching right now and getting my GPA up. That should absolutely be my #1 priority at the moment. I can always do my remaining prereqs at a cc after I graduate. I live in Washington state where the programs are highly competitive, so maybe I should also start getting more work experience, maybe it will help me decide what to do.

Good morning everyone... I'm 23 year old current Family and Consumer Science Education student (when I graduate I will be able to teach home economics) with a weird academic history. When I got my AA at a community college I started taking pre reqs for an ADN, but I was afraid I wouldn't get into the program in my home town and quit. Then I went to a 4 yr and started as a Pre-med, then went to anthropology, and finally to FACS ED. It seems like I just can't make up my mind about anything and I'm very concerned about it. There's one thing concrete in my history: I live for medicine. It's the only thing that makes me excited about going to work. I loved being a CNA, and every time I go to a doctor office or hospital I feel excited about medicine. For a while I was excited about being a teacher but I'm concerned that I won't like it and that it's too set in stone for me. There's no flexibility and I'm concerned that I won't be a good teacher. The only reason I didn't switch to nursing a year ago was because A. I've been in college for too long already and B. I have poor grades. My gpa is 2.5 right now, with the possibility of being a 3.0 if I do well on my remaining classes. I guess what my question is for everyone is this: what the heck do I do? Is it worth it for me to try and get into nursing? Should I just be a teacher? Does anyone else feel like they can't figure this out? Please be honest and brutal if you need to, I need a serious reality check on this subject. Thanks x
