Nursing with graduate degrees, or advanced practice nurses, are especially in demand for the 21 st century. If you go into nursing try to get a bachelor's degree in nursing rather than an associates degree. Go observe a nurse at work. This will help dispel false images you may have from the media. Go into nursing if you love science and like people, but you don't have to be an ace in science-just work harder.
Nursing is a great career for flexibility, mobility, and variety.
