I’m getting good grades but I feel anxious and stressed 24/7. I don’t sleep well now either so I’m tired all the time. Each day I go to school or clinicals come home and study. Thats my life. I’m thinking of quitting nursing school and taking some human resources classes instead since my other undergrad degree is pretty much useless. I went into this to help others, help my family, have a rewarding career, etc. Now I don’t know if its worth it or not. And I had been planning on working in a dr’s office or outpatient after grad but its seems like those jobs need a few years of med/surg inpatient experience. Let me know what you think.

Also, all the math courses and other courses that I must take before I can transfer to a university does not fit into my time schedule or plans for the future. The two majors that I have chosen are majors that I have spent hours researching on and feel that they are the best fit for me and for my career. I just need some different thoughts concerning my decision.
I know that these two majors are a better fit for me and I actually will enjoy double majoring in public administration and sociology. I already have an A.A. degree and two certificate of achievements in general management and human resources management obtained through my local community college. I have zero job experience in human resources and would like to know if I will be able to land some type of an entry-level position in human resources once I am finished with college.
Do any of you think I am on the right path? Let me know what your thoughts and feelings are concerning my decision. I will award 10 points to the best answer of course and I will be checking back often to read all the replies. Thank you.

Question About Undergrad Major…?]]> I’ve been thinking about a career in HR. The problem is that if I decide to major in HR or anything in Business, I will have to waste another semester taking the prerequisite classes to get accepted into those majors. So I was thinking of getting my major in either psychology or sociology (which I have already completed prerequisites) and getting a minor in HR, so I dont have to waste time. Although I have been told a business degree would be better for HR. So what do you think I should do?

Communications
Economics
Sociology
Psychology
or any others that you can think of?
Thank you in advance.
