Yeah, I am planning to continue exploring. I thought I was set on Clinical Nutrition and Public Health, but unfortunately I'm not strong enough in the sciences to be able to enjoy actually being those majors.
Thank You :D
I got a degree (just an associates) in dietetics and nutrition. I was planning on getting my bachelor's in science to fast track into becoming a dietician so I had to take extra classes like chemistry  :confused1: , microbiology and college algebra.I was taking classes with nursing students. I really wanted to become a dietician because I could help people and I was inspired by other dieticians I worked with. But I never did get my B.S. Where I live it's flooded with college graduates (I live near Gainesville Florida) and it's hard to find a job in a niche profession. I was working as a dietary manager (what I didn't to school for). It was very frustrating to graduate and not be able to find a job. And the funny part is the community college I got my degree from doesn't offer the program anymore. Choose your major carefully and good luck.


Thank You. :)

I went to trade school after high school.  My trade was business and accounting.  That was in 1991.  I graduated high school in 1990.  I finally went to the University of Phoenix I believe it was in 2005 and received my associates degree in accounting in 2007.  I love working with numbers and what I do is help people do there taxes or to get them a renters rebate or property tax credit.  I don't charge them but I also ask for donations to get ink and paper.  I just wanted to help people.  I am disabled so I have bad days so its hard for me to work for someone else.  My brother and sister are very generous when I do there taxes but they are the only ones.  If anyone needs help with there taxes let me know.

Nursing because a hospital job was my first job in high school. Anything in the medical field is recession proof. It's not for everyone, but you are seldom unable to find a job.

I majored in Criminal Justice and graduated in 1997. I wanted to help the world. I never used my degree and wish now I could afford to go back and get my Early Childhood Education degree. I would love to work with kids.
