I earned bachelors and masters degrees from top level universities. i have yuppie 9-to-5 job at a large organization that is a big name in the field.\n\nmy sister got mediocre grades and earned a bachelor's degree from a no-name college. she makes about 10% more than me, but only works twice a week.\n\nshe's a NURSE.\n\nif you can get into a nursing program (they're kinda impacted in a lot of places) and you can handle the curriculum, then do it! You can make good money with just a 2 year degree. but if you do the 4 year, you make a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY, and you have more opportunites to advance your career.\n\nMed techs don't advance very easily and don't get paid as well. It's better to do med tech if you find that nursing is too rigorous.\n\nPT is only lucrative if you stay for a graduate level PT degree. otherwise, you never advance.

Calculus !  \nOne other thought is check with your counselor and find out what courses are available that will count as college credit, like accelerated English, Math, Science, ect.  This will give you a jump start and you won't have to take them when you get there!\nYou can also sign up for distant learning courses with the College you are planning on attending and start this summer with your pre-requisite courses.

hey there...\n\nyou have a hard course right now, but freshman year is easily  the hardest. youre getting used to a new place and a new lifestyle..\n\nbut you got your self this far so dont lose steam yet! some weekend when you have some time to yourself go somewhere to RELAX. and then when you come back to school you'll be refreshed and ready for the work. youre obviously stressed right now and thats understandable, because there are many people who are feeling the same way you are. im sure there are support groups to help with stressed out students and the best way to relieve stress is to get it out of your system! just vent!\n\ngood luck, i know youve got it in you.

I've been thinking about other things that i can do to fall back on and two majors that stand out to me is liberal studies and women studies. they both have many things that you can do with either degree and for the moment you don't have to use it right away so i think that they can be good. personally I've chosen many different things to fall back on that i want to go to school for like event planning, interior design and different languages to go along with my teaching degree. it's all about options. look around and choose a degree that you will enjoy and that in being a stay-at-home-mom can do to help your children. when you are at home you can work from there doing interior design or event planning by having your own business. you can go to school for teaching as you will be teaching your children in some way shape or form even if they go to school. like i said, think of something you enjoy and then find out from a counselor if you can major in it or something similar. good luck and have fun!

I am a computer science student. It is a very very hard course..I still couldn't believe I have survived for the past three years. I have classmates in some minors and majors who are IT and have dealt with them and had an overview of their course subjects. For me IT is easier and what I should've taken because I love to learn more on animations and other technologies than conceptual theories on programming or software development, even systems analysis and design. If you are on those - you should get computer science. Yes, I think fashion technology is a very worthwhile course. But get an overview first and ask yourself a thousand times.

You'll have to check with your college adviser. The problem with changing classes will be to find a class that still has openings and will fit into your schedule. Usually, it's not a problem to change classes unless something is a required course.

It's really not for me to decide because i'm naturally good in math but i think you should continue becasue for example in my school, they require you at least take pre cal. but, ultimately it's your decision and yours alone. so good luck with whatever you pick. if you're choosing to go on, you can get a tutor if you're really bad.

Hey. first of all - college is nothing like high school. Not at all. I go to UF and at least here, it's the best experience I could ever have hoped for. You can study  things that are interesting to you, with professors who actually care about you and your thoughts on the subject.\n\nAlso, there is so much free time to do anything that interests you. I feel as though coming to college was just learning to be independent and focus your life on your interests. \n\nYou can meet so many people with similar interests too by joining student organizations.\n\nI think you should give it a try. I mean if you don't like it - then you can look for another way. One of my friends did her first semester and hated it. So she's hiking the AT in February and plans to write a book about it when she's done.\n\nTheres something out there for everyone - but I think college is a great place to begin searching for whats for you.

Of course you should apply. You'll never know if you will like it unless you try it first. I know you are busy, but college is supposed to be a chance to try everything you want to see if something is a good fit for you. Good luck in your pursuits.

Seek out your course syllabus or guidance counselor.  Either one should help you line out your courses

I had this same problem.  My advice to you is to pick a major that you would be GOOD at.  When you're good at something you'll enjoy it more and instead of letting the money drive you, your passion will.

First, I would like to say it is RIDICULOUS to make someone decide what they are going to do with the rest of their life at 18. You will probably change majors a few times (I think the average is around five now-whew!)One thing that helped me is taking a "COPS" test which highlights your likes, dislikes and where you are strongest. Guidance school counselors should be able to assist you with that...Freshman year of college will provide you with basic and generic classes. Dont be worried if you have to claim a major in the beginning even if you are unsure. Nothing is etched in stone. I knew someone one semester away from graduating in engineering and decided he was unhappy with it and changed his major. With your Freshman classes something will peek your interest. Have fun and keep an open mind!

Same problem..so I hear ya.  I also however, don't have the determination to get in there do my thing in school and finish it out.  The best thing I did as an eye opener was make an appointment to talk to one of the counselors at the school.  They did assessments with me, and tests to see what I was good at and in and what I would do awful to be in.  This narrowed out things..and brought things to light that I probably shouldn't do when I actually considered or tried them before (no wonder they didn't work).  So in the end I was left with a much smaller number of career/school choices to research more and choose from.  We even talked about things in my personal life that may interfere or why I felt the way I did about school.  It helped me out tremendously..good luck!

Don't let the admissions person bully you around. It's all your decision. Tell this person straight up that you are going to wait.\n\nThat said I fully support going back to school! I understand if you're worried about the money though. Make sure you do start classes, sooner or later!
