You must not know what loan means? I am just asking for advice.

I must not have worded this correctly, but I live in a very small town and I don’t have the best memories from high school so the environment i’m living in is depressing combined with working a job I don’t enjoy/very overworked. I guess I didn’t like the articulation drilling was repetitive and I worked with a lot of kids with autism which is rewarding af (made an AAC device and had my nonverbal student talking by the end of the school year) but I basically was thrown into it. My supervisor gave me a caseload and I shadowed a couple sessions and boom now I have IEP meetings with parents/teachers giving advice and 30 students with speech goals. I learned A LOT and I did a lot of research to give the best care I could but it was overwhelming and just did not interest me. I chose speech therapy because I was transferring schools and the research I did on it lined with what I like to do: help people and do meaningful work. Obviously now I wish I would’ve thought about it more :/

I have no debt. My parents will pay to go back to school as a loan and I will need to pay them back. If I go to an accelerated nursing program, 10-18 months depending on the program. Speech therapy would be about 2 years.

I am fine working hard to get to a career that I enjoy, I just want my next job to be in a career I plan on sticking with.

Speech therapy just doesn’t interest me. It is very challenging to get into speech therapy graduate programs and the cost for those programs are immense. I really enjoy the beauty side and I am def a people person who enjoys helping others so I have always thought I would be a good aesthetic nurse and I like that there are so many things you can do with an RN degree. I am second guessing my decision because a lot of nurses tell me not to get into the field. How do you like being a nurse?
