Largest demand is in nursing.

Reply:Honestly, the job prospects are good in all of those areas. Nurses probably are in higher demand, but I'd probably go into teaching, lacking a stomach for mucking about with the human body.

Reply:Teacher teacher teacher!!!!! Summers off, excellent retirement plan after you receive tenure, no poop or significant risk of disease, never short staffed, little stress, no legal liability
Reply:Nursing would pay the best and if you went full time you could get your LPN license in 1 year.
Reply:Really depends on you %26amp; what you'd be happiest doing!


If you listed these then you'd probably be happy with any of the 3 I'm assuming so...





Teaching is a 4 year degree so would probably be the longest schooling.


I know there's a major demand for all esp teaching %26amp; nursing %26amp; you could go anywhere. Nurses can actually make lots of money. I have a friend that is an ER nurse %26amp; contracts out to different hospitals. She loves it!





They are all rewarding %26amp; admirable careers %26amp; KUDOS to you for pursuing your education! Best of Luck with whatever you decide!!
Reply:Yeah, because in those fields espically medical there are a high demand for those positions. so no matter what,do not worrie about everyones opinon just go back to school for yourself and not for anybody else. a person is never to old to go back to school.
Reply:I'd go with dental hygienist or other work as an aide or assistant in the medical field. You can qualify for many of these jobs with a 2-yr Associate's degree.





Nursing and teaching, however, require four-year programs (at least!). If I wasn't really feeling passionate about a particular field, 4 years of college might be too much money and too much studying.





Good luck!
Reply:I've been in your position. My pick of the 3 options you mention would be dental hygiene. It can be done with a 2 year program, and once you begin practicing, the hours are much better than nursing. My hygienist makes $50/hr and works her own hours. You can't do that as a nurse unless you work home health, where you would have a pile of paperwork to complete every day. Teaching is even worse, and takes longer; a 4 year degree and a year of student teaching for being underpaid and overworked? No, thanks!
