thanks guys
tbh thats exactly what i was thinking too. im just sick to death of what others tell me.
and it isnt just about MY career in general....its about the decisions that people have to make day in and day out.
its like chocolate...my heart says yes but my brains says no. LOL
slats- thanks for your insight
....always really wise, and i agree with you about the issue of doing what you have a passion and a drive for....i dont want to live my life counting down the minutes until i go home.
MajnOOn-im not saying i will never make it..im just saying there is a high chance or failure and im a stubborn proud perfectionist who wouldnt be able to deal with that easily. LOL...but thanks.
Viet- you never guessed medicine? lol...what did you guess? engineering?
......nah wanted to work in health since i was a tyke....im gouing to go to africa one day and work with some impoverished kids hopefully * crosses fingers*
Leesee- are you enjoying nursing? do you want to specialise in any specific area?....a friends mum is a mental health nurse in the psych ward...she reckons it is pretty daunting.

Nothing personal but if you need other peoples advice on such a general issue it cant be a good sign.
I guess the idea is to have a strong mind and will so that you know when to be smart enough to go with your brain so that at some point in time you have the opportunity to realistically go with your heart.
Life isn't a nicely scripted movie, but if you play it smart you'll eventually get perhaps your piece of whatever you want, your own business as oppossed to always having to work for a boss etc.
tbh i wasnt meant to make this 100% about me
...and im not silly enough to decided my life path on a forum. but i DO find it comforting to see what other people would do. the generalised topic you speak of was meant to be exactly that. what OTHERS would do.
i understand what you are saying about the strong mind part.....and i personally beleiev that can only be achieved when i am heading in one direction and have gained wisdom through simply living a little bit more.
i have never expected to have a steel strong mind at 17...anyone who does has put enormous pressure on themself.
but you are right....your brain can get you places. LOL
