Career Advice...

So I've been going to school for the last 2 years. I was taking classes and going for a nursing degree. This semester I had to have a real heart to heart with myself as to what I REALLY wanted to do. So 2 weeks ago I went to the counselors and decided to change my major to teaching. You see I've always loved teaching but stayed away cause the pay sucked. And being a nurse obviously pays well. But, if you're doing something just for the money then you'll truly never be happy.

I hope you find whatever it is that makes you happy and you stick to it. Good luck man!!

thank you. I was always told, "find a job you love and youll never have to work a day in your life." I have also thought about teaching. i love kids and my wife is also a teacher so i have thought about it. maybe ill go to UTA and see what we can come up with.

Aren't you already a pharmacy tech? Go be a pharmacist. My old boss was a retired pharmacist, and he balled out of control.

I'm in the same boat as you, not sure what I want to do next but definitely looking for better options with more pay of course. I'm considering nursing or maybe even an IT type position at my hospital as well.

thats what my wife said....i lol'd


i wouldnt mind staying in this field, especially at my hospital since i have been here for so long. right now im working towards a civil engineering degree but i dont know what for and what i can do with that. Just recently i have been contemplating a new career here but..i kinda hate this field but the $ is good

You should always work at what you enjoy. I enjoy my job so much, I think of it like a hobby. I am happy to go to work and fix problems in engineering.

If you are doing it just for the money, then I suggest a career in gay prostitution. It has high $/hr rate.

I'm an equity analyst. I'm one of the guys who rates stocks as "buy", "sell", "hold", etc, and sets price targets (what they're worth).

I'll give you a list of what I own, put a big BUY on all of them please!

On another note. My brothers mother in law is one of the most well known Nurse Practitioners here in El Paso. She makes really good coin. When I was still persuing nursing she always would ask me if that was REALLY what I wanted to do. She said it was stressful and sometimes not worth it at all.

On that note she always told me that if I wanted a good job that paid well, I should look into becoming a sonographer. She said it not near as stressful and a great job all around. The reason I mention it is that you had stated that you wanted to possibly stay in the medical field. Again....Good luck!

Last round of layoffs where I'm @, the company paid for a service exactly like you are looking for, for all of the employees that were effected. They helped them identify their skills, helped with Resume's, interview tactics & job placement.

I don't know what the name of the company is, but I can find out.
