I don't know what I want to do when I finish highschool?

Question

I always wanted to be a nurse, but after work experience at a nursing home, I've learned that I can't cope or tolerate being around sick people all the time. I'm good at biology, english, law and health. Anybody have any suggestions? I've only got one year left till I finish, and I'm starting to stress now.

Answer 1

Absolutely go to college, sign up for some basic courses and see what interests you and what will help you make a good living. there are great counselors that can help you chose a degree plan when you have to choose. Plan on at least a bachelor's or a masters. Whatever your degree, it will pay off and you will live a much better life. Often you don't end up doing something directly related to your degree plan but it sure doesn't hurt to start there. College will just open you up and you learn so much more than just what's in books. Plus you'll met people from all over and make an interesting network of friends. College allows you to go everywhere and rub shoulders with everyone. Don't stress-just plan on learning everything you can cause what you want to be when you graduate from college is smarter, much much smarter.

Answer 2

I initially became a computer programmer because I liked playing computer games (I mean talk about lame reasons). Its not uncommon to not yet know what you want to do. I'd suggest just trying lots of different stuff and make the best choice you can. Also try one of those personality tests (Briggs Myers), it can give you additional insight.

Answer 3

With a full year ahead of you I wouldnt stress. Going for criminal justice is always good. You can do a million things with that. If your interested in law, go for that.

Answer 4

Try a community college, take a bunch of classes until you decide what you want to do.
