Hi there,
I am having a terrible time deciding what to do with my life. My college major is Psychology, but I am very short on cash so I didn't want to do a PHD program. Instead, I decided to do an MSW (Masters of Social Work). Things I like about this path is that the degree is fairly easy (I am awful at Math) and it is a flexible job with lots of directions you can go in and flexible hours as well.
However, I don't feel challenged by this path, and I've always wanted to work in healthcare. I started thinking about doing nursing, with the end goal of being a Nurse Practitioner. The problem is, we don't have a nursing program at the school I go to, and I would have to transfer to another school. This school costs more money but I have a lot of friends there and I know I would have a lot of fun. I am already a junior in college and no matter what I will be a 5th year senior. I am worried about doing nursing because the hours are crazy and I have to take classes like Chemistry and Stats. I already flunked Chemistry once this semester.
I am really stressed about this and I feel like its making me depressed. Help!
