I want to shift course. I don't want to take up Nursing anymore. Help me

I want to shift course. I don't want to take up Nursing anymore. Help me?
Well, I'm an incoming second year Nursing student. But I think I couldn't continue it anymore. Because its getting costy, in terms of tuition fee and books and everything. I want to take up Hotel and restaurant management since I'd like to work on hotels, and like to learn cooking and bartending perhaps. I'm also pretty good in Math, I can take up Engineering. But help me choose a course that could give me an oppurtunity to work abroad, like in Singapore perhaps. Help. Oh well. Gee. Thanks for all the help! I'll think things over but you guys have a good point. I'll be sticking with my course. No turning back this time. Thanks a lot, you all are great help. :)

If I was you I would look at all the classes I have taken and passed and compare them to the classes needed for other fields that I am interested in and see which would better suit what you are looking for in you future... Try temping for different places this summer to get an idea of what you want to do. There are cheap bartending classes online that you can take and try that also. Wet your feet in different fields but don't drop out of college. Trust me it will be your biggest regret EVER:)

Talk about opposites! You'd be moving from a career with immense life time rewards for you (nursing) to one where you'd have little reward at all (hotel/bar work). Don't do it. You'll regret it for the rest of your life. Nursing will give you loads of opportunities to work abroad. Stick with it.

I'd like to add my 2 cents worth here, too. I think that you'll find that, at least in the USA, the nursing field is wide open. In addition to that it is very klucrative! My partners daughter-in-law just graduated from college. She is a RN, fresh out of school and is commanding like 25 to 30 dollars per hour! I really don't think that a bartender or a chef makes anywhere near that kind of money. Hotel/Motel management is one of the lowest paid professions, if you could even call it that. Naturally college is expensive. Perhaps you should consider attending a State sponsored school.

If cost is the issue, consider student loans. they are deferred until you are finished with school. check out fafsa.gov and apply for federal financial aid. If it's the coursework, well, don't go into engineering, because it's much more difficult and in depth than medical knowlege. good luck.

Just get student loans! Once you are a nurse the world is your oyster - you can go anywhere as a Traveling Nurse.
