Journalism or Nursing?
There’s a shortage of nurses, and the money is great. So I was thinking of doing an R.N. program @ my local tech. school, then doing fasttrack to BSN @ a major school. I’m really good at science too. Its just that I feel like I’ll be a nurse, when I know I could’ve been a Doctor(which until I had gotten to high school was my career choice). I also need to know what classes to take. Right now, SC requires 24 credits to graduate. 4 math, 4 english, 3 science, 4 History, 7 elect., 1 language and 1 keyboarding. All non adv/AP courses are CP.

Pro: Journalism
You sound like you really have the personality and skill to be an excellent journalist. If you really enjoy speaking and writing, then the fact that journalism is a VERY competitive field should be of no worry to you. My advice is to join your school newspaper of speech team or television studio at your high school. You’ll never know if you love something, or just love the IDEA of something until you try it.
Pro: Nursing
There is a SEVERE shortage of nurses. if you became a nurse, you would pretty much be guaranteed a job for the rest of your life. It is also a rewarding profession. Take biology and see if you are interested in the subject matter, because to be a nurse means studing biology 24/7
Con: Nursing
It’s a very stressful and tiring job. Consider volunteering at your local hospital for next summer, to get an accurate picture of nursing
Follow your heart! Don’t let things like money or glamor influence what you choose to do. Remember, you have pleanty of time to research your career choices, so take the time to do so! Also remember that the most common major among freshman college students is “undecided.”
