your miserable in college or the career they tried to get you to pursue. I get to were I am mad and angry kinda in a rage at them for doing this. How do I deal with this? All I can hear out of them is Oh look how much that career pays I should have done nursing or social work. I don't want some panzy ass job that I set around or "care for people". How do I keep from being angry at them? All I want to do is leave and never return.
Well, my family tried to do the same to me as well. I was just like you...MAD! All they talked about was nursing nursing medical field and so on. So when my friends went away to college i stayed here inVA where the medical college's are when i wanted to go away for an experience. I started studying nursing and got a job in a hospital and when i got that job my whole view changed! I actually really liked workiong in a hospital! But B4 all that i had a screaming match with my family...that didnt help. I would try talking to them and saying exactly how you feel like, "you all are picking my road and im unhappy with these decisions are taking me this is not something i want to do the rest of my life and im sick of you pressuring me." they should respect you enough to let you make your own decisions. Though i think they really are doing it because they want the best for you eventhough they are ignoring what you want. Try shadowing the profession 1st and if you really dont want to do it then just say no. But, also for your own information there is a lot you can do with a degree in nursing. I have a friend who sits at a desk all day and deals with insurance and in home medical equipment and makes the same thing a RN does who cares for patients. I would look into other possibilities with your degree b4 giving up...but try to talk to your family and MAKE them understand you want to do what YOU want its YOUR life.Haha...been in your shoes b4...thats why this was so long...SORRY!
They are trying to mold you and encourage you to go to college so you do have a direction. They just don't want to see you fail. If you don't want to get into medicine find something that will pay as good or better and tell them about it. I bet they will be okay with it as long as you stick to your decision. Do your research on it first, though. That way you have information to make your point to them.
I totally understand my grandma got me to go to a community college right after highschool, to get my CNA ( certified nurse assistant ) if you dont know what a CNA is well its someone that works at a retirement home or nursing home helping to care for the elder. Doing some of the dirty work.... dont get me wrong I completed the CNA course tried working in the field and I absoulety just didnt like it. It put me somewhere where I was totally unhappy... that was when I was 18 and now I am twenty so for the past two years after I got it I fealt like I was wasting my time. My grandma and my hole family except my dad was like oh your doing so good, and your making good money and the ecomony will never effect your work, and blah blah blah.... SOOOOO one day i just snapped really I woke up decided to do a no show at work... didnt call and my grandma found out was furious with me and my actions got kicked out and blah blah blha anyways after that I decided to do WHAT " I " wanted to do... and thats be in the entertainment Iam going to school now to get my bacholer's in marketing and management and that is going so well... I work now as a Jr. Accountant Exec for a firm that I absoulety love and I just bought a house...Being happy and getting what you want out of life is totally worth RISK!YOU ONLY LIVE ONCEAnd my family is more happy now that I am doing what I want they still think I should go back to health care but I have explained to them this is what I want to do and my happienest is better then having to be depressed goig to work every dayYour family will eventually come aroundDO WHAT YOU WANT!!!!!GOOD LUCK you will be great if you believe in yourself!
