I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE !, ahhhh Options

[pandamonium]

Gosh i hate it cause i graduated high school and everything was fine until they pushed you out the door to go to college. and NOW i dont know what to do with my life.

Well my problem is that i dont know what i wanna major in and do for the rest of my life.

I am up at 5 in the morning still looking through courses and colleges to transfer to but then it gets so confusing cause then you need prerequisites for everything. and you have to apply at this time or else you dont get accepted until fall. its been so long since i had a decent night of sleep.

the two majors that i am deciding on are completely different: Graphic Design and Nursing ?

Option 1. Graphic design : i love it and i know i would have fun during school cause it would be something i like doing. but then again how stable is this job? will i make a sufficient amount of money? But the downside to graphic design is that i dont know if i could find a job right after college. its tricky. i know exactly 3 people that graduated as graphic designers and were out of a job.... that scares me the most....

Option 2. Nursing : i could do nursing but it takes 4 years for a RN but i still have to get accepted to the program so i could do nursing then take the prerequisites... i would only have to work hard for the amount that it takes then this job will take care of me. it pays very well and its the second most stable job in america. and plus my mom is a nurse and she is the only one working in the family so she is able to support all of us. so this would take around 5 years or i could just become an associate.

Option 3. GD & LPNOr another way i could go is take graphic design for 4 years then if i dont have a job take up LPN (another kind of nurse) which will only take a little over a year. so i could have both.

I just dont know what i should do.. I am begging for some guidance and assistance . I needed to vent out, especially on createblog cause some of you might know the situation that im going through right now. And just so you know i am starting my second semester of college and majoring in graphic arts.

Oh hehe thank you.

Well that is true. I mean, it can be tiring. My sister tried going back to college after she graduated, but when she started taking a few courses to get a master's degree, she realized it wasn't the "thing" for her, so she quit. Plus, she graduated from high school with salutatorian title, so it was funny that she told me that story!

Well, you should follow your dreams, but there are a lot of consequences. My boyfriend's brother-in-law went to college for graphic arts (or it might've been graphic design!) and he couldn't find a job after that. Now he's a video game tester, but he did work various different jobs before that. It's an okay job, but I don't think it's exactly what he wanted to do with his life after college. Oh well, he's still doing that job, so I guess he's fine.

Also, nursing school may be pretyt expensive, compared to the latter, right? So if you DO do nursing, you will have to really be into it, otherwise it'll be a waste.

And don't pur yourself down! I mean, maybe academically in high school you might've not had the best grades and all, but who knows? College changes people. I mean, even now I'm getting the WORSE grades of my life, and I graduated in the Top 22 (the last 6 people had the same GPA!) back in high school! So really, you shouldn't put yourself down because you have the potential to succeed.

Plus, my boyfriend is still unsure what he's going to do with the rest of life. So you're not the only one. :]
