stuck between two great career choices! Nursing or Speech Pathology?

[xosunnyca]

Hi, I am so confused on what I should be doing for the rest of my life! I have about 4 more classes until I am able to transfer from a cc to a university. But I stuck between nursing and speech pathology! I know that both are a great choice but I am unsure of what I want to do. I would love to work in the NICU, and that has been my goal for the past couple of years, but I am already so stressed in even trying to get into nursing school, that I have been looking at other options, and think that speech pathology would also be a great choice......any advice? thanks so much!

I also wanted to do speech pathology at first but my counselor talked me out of it. She said that I would need to get a masters degree to even be able to do anything with it. She also told me how little opportunities their are in this field. It's up to you really but their is much better job security in nursing, plus there are so many options with nursing you can work in a variety of different settings and fields.
