I am a Freshman Nursing student in college. With the nursing shortage, I feel that if one wants to make decent money and help people at the same time, this is the field for that person. That's why I decided to become a nurse. Think of the last time you were at a hospital or doctors office. How often did you see your doctor during your visit? Now how often did you see your nurse? Nurses get more hands-on contact with patients than doctors, and it is the nurses that patients remember most.


I have a job on campus, and my boss's mother in law was a patient in the hospital where the Harvard Medical students do their learning, and he said that the ICU was so short-handed that they offered his wife, a RN, a job there starting at significantly over $100,000 a year (I dont remember the exact number), plus costs of getting her ICU certified. How many jobs out there can offer you that? Probably not very many. Also, I don't think that just because you "hate blood" that you should shy away from the entire medical feild. Just like with anything else, once you do something or deal with something for long periods of time, you get used to it.


When I was in high school, I knew I wanted to become a nurse. So I took all honors courses (including english and history, not just honors science classes), Advanced Placement Biology, Advanced Placement Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Psychology. I would have also taken a Sociology class, but it would not fit into my schedule.


With all the classes I took and the grades I recieved, I was accepted under early admissions to one of the best Nursing programs in the state. If you want to do even more than that, some nursing homes offer jobs to teenagers wanting to become nurses. You could also volunteer at your local hospital as a Candy Striper, under some other volunteer organization, or on your own. All of this looks absolutely fantastic on transcripts.


And also, when looking for schools, reguardless of what major you decide, make sure to pick the school that fits you. Try to find a college that specializes in your major. I had musician friends in high school who got accepted to one of the best music programs in the state, biology friends who got into one of the best medical research programs in the state, and electrical engineer friends who got into the electrical engineer programs in the state, just to name a few. When picking your major, don't just settle for any university. Try to find the one that best caters to your major, because only hen will you recieve the best education for all the thousands of dollars you are going to spend.
Reply:Clinical psychologist, but make sure you get a Ph.D. They make excellent money with nice job security. Lawyers don't really work "with" people as much as they need to work "against" people.
Reply:There are numerous career possibilities with a degree in social work. With this degree you can work with others (adults or kids).
