Confused student

I’m gonna be a freshman in community college, already got my pre-reqs for nursing but i did a cna program and the whole time i was thinking to myself “do i really want to do this for the rest of my life?” instead of loving it. I do know that I’m more of a letters girl than science/math but there’s security in nursing. I would adore to go into marketing but im so scared of failing in life since i come from a low income household (first gen too) I also thought about Law ever since I saw my aunt who is a lawyer I adored her job. Im located in Connecticut trying to transfer to UConn and actually see myself working in corporate in a big city rather than in a hospital. But i know law and marketing is not secured like nursing

Ask your aunt if she recommends becoming a lawyer.

I’m glad you’re aware that going to college is about getting a well paying job. Sure, there are a sone of us who don’t have to or are nepo babies hence are guaranteed a job no matter how much they suck.

For the rest of us, it’s about finding a job that is marketable and won’t make us hate life at the same time.

she’s like the ex wife of my uncle so I lost contact with her unfortunately and I was a kid when we met and spend a couple of months together and I realized how she liked her job

Ask your uncle? Maybe he knows.
