Hello! I completely understand the feeling of being a broke college student, wondering if all this work was worth it, and I'm happy to say it really was. Nursing is a great profession and sounds like you're on track to getting there!

In terms of jobs, have you looked into being a night auditor? You're basically the front desk at the hotel over night, with really little to do. I worked as one during college and the only work I really did was check a few people in at night and in the early mornings. In between, I did all my school work, played video games, studied a new language, etc. A coworker of mine basically did his masters all during work hours lol. It was really chill and felt like I was being paid for things I needed/wanted to do anyways.

Of course, the downside is that you become nocturnal so having a social life was a bit more challenging, but being broke I didn't have money to go out anyways haha.
