Should I follow my dreams?
ok so here’s the thing: ii love business and I have a lot of goals and plans my dream is to major in business administration with a minor in public relations but here’s the problem my dad [who pay’s for my tuition, books, etc.] wants me to be a nurse, I HATE nursing and ii know that if ii do it ii’m going to be miserable because ii will be doing something ii don’t like at all =( ii already talked to him about this but he won’t understand me he says ii have to do nursing because is a growing field and there’s a lot of jobs plus the economy is in a bad situation to go for business… ii can’t argue nor disagree with him, he’s very strict. what would you do in my position ?? like ii was thinking ii should follow my dreams and do what ii want to do but iidk =/
There are several reasons nurses are in such high demand. The job does have its downsides. One of my good friends from high school is a nurse, and although the pay is good, most nurses are still underpaid considering what they have to put up with. You will work shifts, sometimes 12 or more hours. You will have to deal with hospital hiearchy, including doctors and administrators who don’t always respect you. You will have to clean up people’s bodily fluids regularly and convince them to take medication they sometimes refuse to take. People are rarely in a good mood while staying in a hospital, so you need to have a lot of patience and perserverence day in and day out.
I’m not trying to talk you out of nursing. We desperately need nurses. I’m just letting you know you shouldn’t have any illusions about the career. It’s very hard work. But as my friend tells me, it is very rewarding work much of the time. Job security, as your father says, is much better than in the business world. Depending on what you want to do, now might not be the best time to enter the business and finance sector. You could always wait…a lot of people go back to school later in life and change careers. That’s much more common in the States than it is here.
Of course you must follow your dreams. The worst thing you can do is study something you don’t like..becasue you will regrett it all your life; I was studying Computer Programing bacause my Aunt & a lot of people said to me:” Is the best job to make some good money..”, …or “Is the best job now because computers now is the future..” Well,I like computers…but not too much as to study that. But I began to study it..but after a year I saw that I didn’t liked that & couldn’t feel acomplished or couldn’t feel happy studying that. Later on I left those studies & thanks to a cousin of my Mother (May She rest in peace)…told me: “Since long that I can remember …when you were a kid you used to draw a lot..Why don’t you study what you REALLY LIKE?”..That make me think :I love art & to draw& to write…
On January ,God willing I’ll be beginning studies on a bachellor of Visual Arts.
Your Father could & want the best for you..but only you is the one who will study what you really like & will be working it the rest of your life. Follow your dreams. I will begin to follow mine soon.
Take Care.
He’s obviously trying to look after your best interests - he’s right about the economy and business prospects in the foreseeable future - he’s also right that the nursing career comes with - jobs in demand - excellent salary - often you can pick when and where you’ll work - undeniable big advantages - as far as starting a business, it appears soon there may be severe taxing on ant business that grows to a certain size - I would sit back, honestly evaluate, and use my best judgement…I wish you every success in whatever you choose !!
yes. you should follow your dreams…if you really want to do it and youve been waiting a long time, you shud doit…and if not then give it a try anyway! :)
listen even I was in your position and went against my fathers advice and now from the bottom of the heart I feel HAD I LISTENED TO HIM then
your dad is right economy is going down, What ever happnes the US govt will not compromise on the health aspect, Give it a thought good luck with what ever you choose
Normally I would say never play your parents however in this situation have you talked to you mother about things? she might be able to team up with you and talk to your father just because he is paying for your schooling doesnt mean he gets to decide your life have you thought of what exactley it is you want to do once you have gotten your degree? maybe you can go to him with that and ask him if he can think of anything thats similar or maybe has more job security while keeping the same criteria that you want
