<p>Hey all, I need help.....</p>
<p>Lemme tell you about myself. I am 21 years old and have completed 2 years of college. I love sports, EVERYTHING about them. I can tell you stats for the NFL, and most college football and basketball teams (not many girls can do that). I worked for a college football office as a secretary while in college and loved it. I am friendly, love people, love to be outdoors and am very social. </p>
<p>I want to work with people for sure. Ive been a nursing and education major. The thing that pushed me from education is the money...or lack of. I want to live in Maryland or California... and cost of living is high. The salary of a teacher I dont think will be enough to offset the cost of living. </p>
<p>Nursing is good so far.... I mean I dont hate it. But somewhere deep down... I dont know if its for me. Now I dont know that its not for me either.</p>
<p>I also thought about sports administration with a minor in marketing... but Im not thinking job stability is good. Ugh, so frustrating. </p>
<p>I need help deciding. Here is my criteria:</p>
<ol>
<li>Working with people. </li>
<li>Job has good job stability.</li>
<li>Makes at least 45,000 starting salary. </li>
</ol>
<p>I dont feel like its too much to ask, but I cant seem to find something....</p>
<p>Stick with nursing.</p>
<p>A teacher friend of mine had a daughter that did very poorly in high-school (attitude and work issues). She went to community college for a short period of time and then enrolled in a nursing program sponsored by a local hospital. She eventually got her LPN and is making $25/hour with shift and holiday differential pay of up to $50/hour. This is in an area that isn’t densely populated so the cost of living isn’t as high as it is in Maryland and California.</p>
<p>Some other majors: physical therapist, corporate fitness center manager for a big corporation.</p>
<p>I second the vote to stick with nursing. You can do so many things with a nursing degree as a basic professional calling card. The nursing degree will give you a fabulous basis for any alternative medicine field you may wish to branch out into in the future.</p>
<p>You can go into physical therapy, chiropracty, naturopathic medicine, occupational therapy from nursing, but the nursing degree will be the most respected basic degree to help you branch out. It’s a really good degree to have under your belt. And with the boomers aging out you will surely be in demand in a huge range of interesting ways. </p>
<p>Most kids get some sort of fatigue within the four years of studying for a degree. Don’t let all the questioning in your head keep you from pushing through to get that valuable qualification.</p>
