Hi. That is a difficult question - but heres the solution. You need to take subjects or a course that will give you the broadest possible range of skills. You dont want to take a specific course. I think that nursing is the best choice. Why? You work with doctors, hospitals, labroratory results and the sharp end of medicine. Your skills there are from direct observation of patients at the serious end - something that the others dont offer you. After nursing you can specialise and study more - and lots of nurses work while doing this. Then you can branch out into another career.

Well I beleive you should do your homework on the ones medical laboratory, etc. Like how long it will take, whats involved if you havent already done so... lay out your interests. Which you like the most and least. Because by knowing whats involved and how long it will take you can truly see if you can see urself doing it for a long time or the rest of your life.. I wanted to go into nursing but i decided on a smaller interest because that was my long term goal and i am gonna go in the future when I know if its still what i want to do

I wouldn't recommend nursing, I know someone who's a nurse, and wants to take some extra courses to become something else.... so, maybe you should try medical laboratory technology, as long as it interests you.
what you could also do is take a look at the different courses for all you want to study, perhaps talk to people just studying/working in the field, and then decide depending on what you like most ...
hope you find out soon what you want to do!

I went through the exact same thing before I decided on nursing! I felt like I was going crazy and that there was so much pressure to decide my future asap. The great thing about nursing school is that if you go to a community college, you can get done in about 2 years. You dont have to be in college the rest of your life like many career studies. It's also an amazing career path.

I would suggest a part time job in the fields that you are interested in. Start with MOST interested and work your way down the list. This will allow you to experience what the work field for the particular profession is like. What seems like fun can actually turn out to be quite boring. It's important to be happy in your profession, this will ensure the highest form of success.

If you are currently in school, talk to someone in your career center. You need to get a sense of what each of these jobs would be like. They should be able to help you with things like testing your interests and capabilities, as well as possibly setting you up with professionals in each of these fields for what is called an informational interview - you talk to each of these people about what they do on an average day, what they like and dislike about their jobs, etc. Sometimes a job sounds interesting on the surface, but once you look more closely you find you don't like something about it - the type of people you would be working with, the hours, etc.

figure out the salaries ( in the long term) and if there are jobs out there - for each one and start with the one that you would make the most money.
you learn a semester, if it doesn't work out you try a different major..
