I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.
I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

@Zoe7
I got into the Exercise psychology course
But she thinks I am better off doing nursing because there are more jobs
I have to do intro course first and then I can start my rn next year.

So either way you would have to do the same amount of time which ever course you did. Which one do you want to do most - don't think about future job prospects - just what you REALLY want to do.
@oceangirl if you really want something then you will have a future in it
