Do not go into nursing just beacuse it is practical and your husband says to.:reddevil:
If you really want to get into nursing, look for threads started or added to by Cookderosa. In the last year or so she has done or is doing many of her nursing prereqs through distance learning, including labs.
If you are not sure don't do it. I know what you mean about the degree, I worked in chemistry for more then 30 years and always felt inadequate because I didn't have a degree. When I finally returned to college (20 years after I had last quit) I thought I would earn a degreee in Chemistry. After much thought and experimentation I have earned my degree in Natural Sciences/Mathematics and want to use it to teach Middle School. I love teaching and being able to share my love of science.
If your heart is not in the degree you are less likely to finish it. Don't you deserve to do this just for you? What jobs you can get with the degree will also depend on your enthusiasum and creativity.
