Wondering if my plan is good...

[sweetcrabhoney]

I have this thought it the back of my head that says wait ... wait until I 100% know before I invest a crap load of money and time into a degree I have no passion for. And at this point I'm thinking of listening to that little voice... But who knows for how long!

I agree with your point Jennifer that doing the numbers ... and when it comes to the two medical fields , nursing is more respected and also highly open. As an acupuncturist it'd be all up to me to start my clinic / spa and earn from there.

I agree with you dfrecore , the investment in time seems longer than most and a lot of free work. But I think most medical schools do the same thing but with less hours I think.

I have a worry that I'll get my acupuncturist credentials and end up having a career that won't cover the money I've invested. But I'd have something I was passionate about ; is passion worth more than money.

For years I've put writing before everything because it's been a passion but it hasn't answered my need for money . I mean at one point we were in a homeless shelter simply because we couldn't afford any place to live. Would my passion for poking people with needles do the same thing to our family?

I need to really think about this...

I'm going to work towards getting a general degree with one of the big three instead of a biology degree and go from there. If I need more classes ; I'll take them as needed. For now I've got to study for three test and aim to past all of them.

I can't thank you all enough. My mind is swimming with options and it's nice to have an open idea for something without being so rushed on it.

Thanks.
